What novel and script to video tools accept as source text

Can I paste a whole chapter?

Four tools name a chapter as a source. OpenArt takes one pasted into its prompt box; AI Drama Generator's story box takes a novel chapter; StoryShort names chapters beside scripts and ideas; Topview names a novel chapter among five kinds of source. Whether a long chapter fits depends on the box's limit. From 4 source pages, read 2026-09-25 to 2026-10-25; no maker pays to be listed.

1In the vendors' words

Type a logline or script, or paste a chapter to adapt, into the prompt box.

2What to take from it

Naming a chapter is not the same as taking one of any length. AI Drama Generator's box shows an 8,000 counter and StoryShort's a 1,200 one; OpenArt and Topview state no limit on the pages read. A chapter of a web novel can run well past 8,000 characters, so the counter is the thing to check before pasting.

3One intake, followed through

After the intake question in “Can I paste a whole chapter”, 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.

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.
