1What the checkpoint covers

Extraction is what the tool pulls out of the text by itself before any image or video is made. The readings run from a full production list, characters, places and props, through a cast and a scene list, to scenes or shots alone, or story beats. Four tools describe no breakdown of a pasted text at all.

The words matter because they say what a writer will be asked to check. A tool that names props will hand back a list of objects to approve; one that names only scenes will not, and objects are left to the prompts.
