Every Message in the Edit This Clip Panel, and What to Do
Quick answer: Most messages in Edit this clip mean “not yet”: the clip is still generating, another change is running, or the version on screen just changed. A few mean “not this clip”: it was made by an older version of the site, or it has no dialogue. Whenever a fix does not go through, your current version is untouched and any credits held for it come back.
Sample: “Starfall Command” — Realistic HD, 1 episode, produced end-to-end by SceneMixer from the script · watch the episodes
If a tab says something unexpected, click another segment and back: the panel re-reads the clip's state.
While something else is happening
Wait for this clip to finish, then edit it. / …then trim it. — the segment is generating. The tabs open again when the new clip lands.
Another change to this clip is still running. — an AI visuals or Redub change to the same clip has not finished (perhaps started in another tab). Wait for it; Trim still works.
This clip is already being trimmed. Wait a few seconds. — one trim per segment runs at a time.
This clip is already being changed. Wait for that to finish. — the same for AI visuals and Redub.
The version on screen just changed. Check the player, then trim again. / This segment just switched versions. Pick again. — someone (you, in another tab) switched versions, so the fix would have been made from a clip you are not looking at. Look at the player and press again.
The episode’s storyboard is being generated — wait for it; clips cannot be changed while their segments may be rebuilt.
This clip cannot be changed this way
This clip was made by an older pipeline — regenerate it first. — a few clips from an earlier version of the site cannot be used as a starting point. Regenerate the segment, then fix the new clip.
AI edit isn’t available for this clip. — AI visuals is paused for the moment, or the panel could not load. Try again later; Trim is unaffected.
This segment has no dialogue. — Redub lists only lines written as dialogue in the storyboard. How to write dialogue lines.
This clip is too short to trim. — one second or less.
This change isn’t available for this clip. — for example Re-perform on a clip longer than 15 seconds. Use Lip sync.
Something to fix in your choice
Keep at least 1s / That range can’t be trimmed. Keep at least 1 second and try again. — move the handles so more is kept.
This clip is longer than 15 s — choose which half to edit. — pick First half or Second half. Why.
Too much dialogue for this clip’s length. Shorten the lines. — the new lines would take longer to say than the clip lasts.
Lines can’t contain brackets or line breaks. — remove them from the text box.
Pick a voice for every line. — a voice pill is orange; choose a voice for that line.
That edit isn’t available. Pick one from the menu. — choose one of the eight AI visuals changes again.
Limits and pauses
You’ve trimmed a lot this hour. Try again a bit later. / Too many edits in a short time. Please try again later. — an hourly limit per account. Limits that are not about credits.
Video generation paused after repeated content blocks — AI visuals and Redub pause together with generation. The pause rules.
Trimming is temporarily unavailable., AI edit is temporarily unavailable., Redub is temporarily unavailable. — switched off for the moment; nothing was charged.
The buy-credits window opens — your balance does not cover the price on the button (a trim is 5). Top up and press again. Buy credits.
After you press
Trimming…, AI is changing the visuals…, Redubbing… — working; you can leave the page, it carries on.
Trimmed and saved as a new version., Edited and saved as a new version., Redubbed and saved as a new version. — done; see Version History.
The new lines were also written into the storyboard. — your changed words are now in the segment’s text.
The trim didn’t go through. Your current version is unchanged, so you can try again. (and the same for edits and redubs) — the credits come back.

FAQ
Can I leave the page while a fix runs?
Yes. It runs on the server; the result is in Version History when you come back.
Why does Trim work when the other two tabs are waiting?
Trim only cuts the existing file, so it does not wait for an AI visuals or Redub change to finish.
