4A pipeline on current models

Release notes such as “Runway” matter once a pipeline runs the models; SceneMixer's guides describe how it does:

Downloads and the asset library follow your Music switch; a shared link always plays the version with the episode’s music.

SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.
