Inclusion rule. An app is listed when its own pages state what the question asks. Order. Apps in alphabetical order.

Starting from text reverses the usual order of an editor: the script comes first and the footage is found or generated to fit it.

What fills the frame differs. Some of these apps assemble stock footage and a voiceover; others generate new footage or put an avatar on screen.

The editors on the register mostly start from recorded footage instead, which is why they appear on the clipping and captions questions rather than here.

Vertical output comes from setting the project to 9:16 before reference art is generated, so every shot is composed for the tall frame.
