The two-column script format
A two-column script puts what is seen on one side and what is heard, dialogue, voiceover and sound, on the other, so each shot's picture and audio can be planned together. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Boords writes its AI scripts in this format and calls it the industry-standard audio and visual layout used by video production teams. The format suits commercials, explainers and training videos, where a voice often runs over pictures.
Because the visual column already describes shots, the script turns into a storyboard with little rework, which is the next step Boords describes.

2From story to shot list
Writing help like “Two-column script” continues into shots in SceneMixer; its guides say:
SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.

SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.
