What novel and script to video tools accept as source text

Does the breakdown name locations?

Drawstory's assistant director identifies locations along with shots, characters and camera angles. Topview and LTX Studio name locations too. Tools whose breakdown stops at scenes or shots do not list locations separately. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

1In the vendors' words

The AI assistant director analyzes your script to identify shots, characters, locations, and camera angles.

Drawstory, home page

2What to take from it

A location list is the place equivalent of a cast list: drawn once, reused wherever the story returns. Drawstory is the one storyboard tool that names both locations and camera angles in the same line. Topview keeps locations on its workbench with outlines, episodes and props, all editable; LTX Studio turns them into Elements that are reused across shots. A tool that lists scenes but not places may still draw the same room twice from two different descriptions.

3One intake, followed through

After the intake question in “Does the breakdown name locations”, SceneMixer describes what it does with the text:

SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.

Every character, scene and prop card can carry a short list of the other names your script uses for the same thing.
