What novel and script to video tools accept as source text

Can a video be the source instead of text?

Two drama tools take a video in place of a script. DramaSo breaks down an uploaded video or a pasted link into a beat sheet; TrendShort takes a video to recreate beside its script box. Mootion and Pexo also list video among their starting points. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

Paste script, generate storyboard free

DramaSo, home page

Paste an existing script, AI draft, or plot outline.

TrendShort, home page

2What to take from it

A video source is the reverse of adaptation: the tool reads structure out of a finished clip rather than out of prose. It is recorded because the vendors put it beside the text box, not because it brings a novel in.

3From source text to episodes

After the intake question in “Can a video be the source instead of text”, SceneMixer describes what it does with the text:

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.

You can recomposite with different end-card text, and in step-by-step mode you can reshoot individual segments. The finished file can also be downloaded and shared with a link.
