1What this field covers

This field records what happens to the board next. 18 tools generate video clips from it inside the same product, 2 turn it into an animatic, 2 generate video with a first and a last frame taken from the board, and 2 are silent on any move to video.

An animatic keeps the board's panels and times them, usually with sound, to test pacing. Generated clips replace the panels with motion. The two silent tools are pre-production suites whose pages end at the board itself.
