Directing note: planning cuts inside one clip

A few models let one generation hold several shots, numbered with their own durations. That keeps light, cast and place consistent across the cut, because one pass makes every shot. As of 2026-09-25.

Elsewhere each shot is its own generation and the cut happens in an editor, where continuity has to be matched by hand.

Planning a scene as a shot list first makes either route easier.

To manually specify the framing of the main subject within the video, use the Shot size dropdown menu to select an option.

2The film language, written for you

Where “Planning cuts inside one clip” has to be written by hand, SceneMixer's pipeline writes the shots; its guides explain:

Its character becomes the tone of the episode’s own score, which is planned from the episode’s storyboard — usually one to three pieces — and mixed under the voices.

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.
