Does the breakdown go down to single shots?
Seven tools name shots. Katalist breaks a script into shots; Storyboarder.ai returns a shot list; TrendShort splits scenes into shots and beats. M Studio, Frameo and Vivideo describe shot-level plans, and SceneMixer storyboards each episode as segments with shot descriptions and durations. From 7 source pages, read 2026-09-25 to 2026-10-13; no maker pays to be listed.

2What to take from it
A scene list says where the story goes; a shot list says what the camera sees, which is the unit a video model actually generates. Where a tool stops at scenes, the shots are written inside each prompt. The plans also differ in what they carry: TrendShort adds beats and visual prompts, and SceneMixer gives every shot its dialogue and a duration, so the length of an episode is set before anything is rendered.
