Primer: links and URLs as a source
Four tools accept a link. On their pages the link points at existing content to adapt or a clip to break down, not at a manuscript kept online. From 4 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
A link to a web page gives the tool what that page shows at the moment it is read. A link to a video gives it pictures and sound, from which one tool builds a beat sheet.
For a novel hosted online, the text still has to be pasted or uploaded to reach a tool that reads long text.

2From source text to episodes
After the intake question in “Links and URLs as a source”, SceneMixer describes what it does with the text:
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.

Scene order, dialogue and beats follow the script; what the pipeline adds is coverage — which shot sizes, who is in frame, how long each shot holds.
