The most expensive only will get you the key to access the Pro features of the app. There are basically three membership levels from $5 to §15 monthly. The goal is currently to get to $250 per month on Patreon to cover the costs of the servers for video processing and hosting. Its creator Jeff Jassky made a Patreon account for StoryFolder in order to be able to keep the free version running.

Jeff works on providing a better, traditional script-style layout for this very soon.
Finally, the script gets exported into a TXT file that includes all the spoken text transformed into text by StoryFolder. The shot list of scenes with timecodes and frames currently gest exported as HTML and CSV files.
The individual clips that the app produces are in the mp4 format and they are numerically ordered to correspond with the still images. There are three images for every scene – the first frame, the middle one, and the last frame (that applies for the pro version, there is only the middle frame in the free version – more on the different versions later). The images from the individual scenes from the video are provided in jpeg format.
As Jeff said, the plan is to further work on the layout of the storyboard, add some more metadata, and offer a PDF version as well. The storyboard itself is currently an HTML file with a classic layout that can be printed. It is still in the Beta version so the accuracy is expected to further improve with time. After processing, the app will provide you with a zip file that includes all of the above-mentioned assets. The videos can currently be uploaded to StoryFolder directly from the hard drive or you can paste a Youtube link.
