Lexicon: the screenplay page
A screenplay page is a unit of layout: a page of script in the standard screenplay format, with its fixed margins, capitalised names and indented dialogue. Film people count scripts in pages because a page of that layout runs close to a minute of screen time. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Two storyboard tools on the register count their limits in pages. The unit only makes sense for text laid out as a screenplay; a novel pasted as prose has no pages in that sense.
When a limit is in pages, check that the manuscript is in screenplay layout before comparing it.
Plan tables sometimes give two limits side by side, one in pages for stories and another in words for imported documents. The two are not the same ceiling and are recorded separately.

2One intake, followed through
After the intake question in “Screenplay page”, SceneMixer describes what it does with the text:
It can read a feature screenplay and generate it sequence by sequence, and nothing in the pipeline stops you at ninety minutes.

SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.
