1Reading the grid
The early steps are the best documented: starting from a script and keeping characters the same have pages at most tools. Fixing a shot is the thinnest, with a page at 14 of the 26.
An empty cell means the pages searched had nothing on the step, not that the tool cannot do it. Some tools explain features on product pages or in videos; LTX Studio's help centre, for one, is mostly about billing, its API and its desktop app.
