1What sets the two apart

Both write the camera into the shot and neither describes a board export. Story.com generates a frame per scene and fixes a frame by editing its description; TrendShort keeps a board page with shot order, duration and prompts, accepts manual uploads for shot images and settles first and last frames before video.
