A Freepik (Magnific) Alternative for AI Drama Series

Updated November 2, 2026

Quick answer: Freepik now trades as Magnific — its pages are titled “Magnific (formerly Freepik)” — a creative platform with 250M+ stock assets and AI image, video and audio tools across many models, sold as yearly credit allowances. SceneMixer builds a whole drama from a script: an episode outline, a cast drawn once, a storyboard per episode and video segment by segment, with characters performing their lines on screen in 15 languages. Choose Magnific for stock content plus a wide menu of video and image models; choose SceneMixer to produce a series with a fixed cast.

A stock library with models, or a series pipeline

Magnific's pricing page lists Premium with 240K credits a year, Premium+ with 600K and Pro Starter with 1.5M, with credits valid for a year rather than resetting monthly, and shows what each video model costs in credits¹. SceneMixer prices video by the finished second and shows the price before each stage runs.

What a fixed cast looks like

Character reference sheet 1 from Neon Debt, an AI short drama made with SceneMixer — Reference sheets SceneMixer generated once for “Neon Debt”. Every segment that features one of these characters is rendered against their sheet, so the face does not have to be re-described shot by shot · watch the sample

Stay with Freepik if…

You also need stock content — 250M+ photos, videos, vectors and PSDs alongside the AI tools¹.
You want many video and image models on one plan — each clip names the model it was made with¹².
You like yearly credits that do not reset monthly — its credits are valid for a year¹.
You need upscalers and editing tools around the clip — Magnific and Topaz upscalers are listed on its plans¹.

SceneMixer fits if…

You are telling a story in episodes. One read of the script returns the cast, locations, props and an episode-by-episode outline with an end-of-episode hook; each episode gets its own storyboard. Upload a script and read it.
The same faces must hold from shot to shot. Reference sheets ride along with every segment, linked by id rather than by name. How consistency works.
Your cast should speak a particular language. Pick it in step 1 and the lines are performed in that language as the shot renders — no dubbing pass. Native dialogue vs dubbing.
You would rather pay as you go. Packs start at $1.49 and plan credits stay in your balance. Do credits expire?
You want commercial rights from the first credit. Our terms give you ownership of the results, including commercial use, on free allowances too.

Moving a story over

Bring the script — paste it or upload .txt, .docx or .md; storyboard panels you drew can become shots, and character art you own can be uploaded on a paid plan.
Set the project in step 1: Type (Short Drama, TV Series or Film), aspect ratio, dialogue language and target region.
Reuse character art you own. On a paid plan, upload it in place of a generated sheet; otherwise generate sheets — the first 15 on an account are free.
Draft cheaply, finish the keepers. Generate at the lowest tier, then regenerate only the segments that will be seen most at a higher resolution. Draft at 480P, finish at 1080P.
