1What this step covers
This step is where a video starts: pasting or importing a script, writing a prompt, or having the tool draft the words. 20 tools have a page given over to it, 4 cover it inside a wider page, and 2 have nothing on it in the pages searched.
It is the step tools document most. Storyboard apps explain importing a finished script; video makers explain prompting; a few, such as Kapwing and Pictory, explain generating a script from an idea.
