How many characters fit in one paste box?
Four figures are stated for a single box. MagicLight says 12,000 characters. AI Drama Generator, Elser and StoryShort print counters under their boxes, 8,000, 6,000 and 1,200, without naming the unit. The other paste-box tools state no figure on the pages read.

2What to take from it
A counter printed under a box is the most direct evidence of a limit, but the unit is often left off. Where a vendor writes characters, the register records characters; where it prints a bare number, the register records a counter and leaves the unit open rather than assume one.

3One intake, followed through
After the intake question in “How many characters fit in one paste box”, 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.
