Lightworks vs. Plot Storyboard Creator

It's best for editors that are beginning their career due to the easy way to learn this. However, you have to buy the license to be able to use and learn all of these great features. I can't seem to find scenarios where it would not be appropriate, this is an excellent, easy tool to work with.

If you are in a creative studio that creates video in scale, then this is an excellent tool for quickly and easily creating minimal viable product storyboards for collaboration, perhaps even with non-creatives. However, if you are looking for a Story Board software with all the bells and whistles you could possibly want or with a bunch of additional features that you might need in a more cinematic context, then this tool may be too simple for your needs.

iMovie is a great tool for Mac users and provides a lot of simple drag/drop elements with video editing. However, it is incredibly restrictive if you want to customize your video. With Lightworks, I can easily add text on a screen, captions, transitions, change the framerate and more. No matter the video project, I have been able to find a solution using Lightworks.

Plotagon is easy to use but the characters and animation need enhancement. Plot Generator produces great ideas and scripts but they are not unique to individual projects. With The Plot Storyboard, you have control to create an organic project with better-animated characters
