Inclusion rule. Tools found in a 2026-09-19 search of directories, launch lists and search results, kept only where an English official page could be read; tools already in the register are recorded on their own pages and not repeated here. SceneMixer's row repeats its register entry for comparison. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.
1Studio tools are built around the shot and the scene
These products start from filmmaking vocabulary: storyboards, shot lists, camera moves, an AI cast that carries a face and wardrobe from one scene to the next. Their continuity language is often more concrete than the short-drama makers' because a film crew already thinks in reference sheets. Where they are thinner is the season. A few animated-series tools produce episodes of a show; most organise work as one project or one film.
None of the pages read here states vertical 9:16 output. That is not a defect in a film tool, but it matters to anyone making drama for a phone-first app, where the frame is decided before the first shot.
2Seats, tokens and credits, rarely seconds
Pricing in this group comes per seat, per token allowance or per credit pack. As with the other groups, very few pages connect the unit to a length of finished picture, so the cost of a twenty-minute episode is a calculation the reader has to guess at. The register records the prices exactly as shown and leaves the conversion undone rather than invent a rate.
