How the showcases are read
Each maker's site was read on one day, on the pages where it puts finished work in front of visitors: a showcase page, a homepage section, a festival page or its own channel. Each item is filed under one reading and kept with the words on the page that show it. As of 2026-09-25.
1Which makers are listed
A maker is listed when it builds AI video or drama tools and its own site was read for finished work. Two drama makers show no finished work, one of them only a workflow demo, and both stay on the list, because a missing showcase is itself something a buyer can see. Open community feeds that need a login are not read; galleries the maker curates and puts on a public page are.
2Nothing is played or judged
No video was watched to time it, no clip was scored and no model was guessed from the look of a frame. A running time counts only when the page prints it, and a model counts only when the page names it beside the work. Counts of works are what the page lists on the reading day.
3Pages that change
Several showcases rotate their content. Where a page shuffles clips on each visit, the reading quotes the parts that stay put, such as channel names and labels, rather than a clip that may not be there tomorrow.

5What finished work comes out of
The finished work behind “How reels are read” is made in steps; SceneMixer's guides describe them:
The samples page for 15 languages lists one finished series per language, each with the cast speaking that language natively and every segment's storyboard shown next to its video.

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.

How the register is kept. The tables, counts and rankings on this site are computed by script from the register, and every figure links to the page it was read from, with the words quoted. No maker pays to be listed or to change a place, and each ranking states its rule, written before the places were computed. Entries are not edited at a maker's request: a figure that is out of date is fixed on the maker's own page and picked up when the pages are next read, at least every three months.
