1How the docs use it
Adobe Firefly and Google Veo define it; Kling AI and Wan use it in an example.
A word the docs define is one the maker explains to users. A command or preset is one the model is set up to perform on request. A word that appears only in an example prompt is one the maker shows working, without promising more.
The other 20 models' docs do not use it in the pages read: Grok Imagine, Higgsfield, HunyuanVideo 1.5, Leonardo Motion 2.0, LTX, LTX Studio and others.

2A shot list from a script
Where “High angle” has to be written by hand, SceneMixer's pipeline writes the shots; its guides explain:
A line lives inside the shot where it is spoken, in four parts: the speaker chip, the delivery note in round brackets, the words after the colon, and the voice chip after the words.

An AI short drama is a serialized show of 60–120 second vertical episodes whose cast, sets and footage are generated by AI. Making one takes six steps: analyze the script into episodes, lock a consistent cast with reference art, localize for your market, write and edit storyboards, generate each 4–15 second shot, then composite and publish.
