Katalist's FAQ describes the script as written inside the product or imported, then broken into shots and a storyboard with consistent characters and scenes. Each shot can be refined, reframed and regenerated before shots are turned into video. Its pricing lists an AI Script Assistant per plan, but no charge for reading the text.
