Undocumented steps: where the manuals go quiet
Every step some tool leaves without a page in its documentation, tool by tool. Changing one shot is the step most often missing, at 12 of the 26 tools; Descript, Google Flow, Kapwing, Morphic, Runway, SceneMixer, Synthesia and Vyond have a page on all seven. As of 2026-09-25.

1What a gap means
A gap is a search result, not a verdict on the product. The sitemap or index of each help centre was read for a page on the step; when none was there, the step is listed here.
Gaps cluster in two places. Storyboard apps stop before the video is made, so voices and sharing are often missing; general video makers start at the prompt, so scenes and fixing one shot are.
Where a tool explains a step only in a video, a product page or a community forum, the gap stays: the map follows written help pages on the tool's own site.
