Your Free Character, Scene and Prop Sheets Are Per Account, Not Per Project

Quick answer: You get 15 free sheets for the whole account — characters, scenes and props together — and they carry over from project to project until used. They do not reset when you start a second project, and they do not expire. They can only be spent in projects that paid the parse fee (so not in ad projects or remakes). Separately, your first project gets its first episode’s storyboard free. Everything else in Step 2 is paid per sheet.

How the count works

Every generated sheet is one task; the free pool is charged one per successful or in-progress task, whichever type it is. A sheet that fails, or is cancelled before it starts, is not counted. The pool is account-wide: sheets used in project A are no longer available in project B. There is no per-type quota any more and no per-project reset.

Where free sheets can and cannot be spent

Only in projects that paid the parse fee: a script you uploaded or wrote with AI Create and then parsed. Ad projects and remakes generate sheets too, but they never draw from the free pool; they are priced per sheet from the start. Regenerating a sheet draws from the pool while any is left, exactly like a first generation. AI edits, regeneration from a reference image and state images never use it: they are priced on their own.

What does not give the credits back

Deleting a sheet, deleting a character, deleting the whole project, or re-parsing the script: the tasks already ran, so the pool stays where it was. If you want to try a different look for a character, edit the description and regenerate — free while the pool lasts, then a paid sheet at the default tier’s price of 7 credits.

What the first project gets on top

Your first project also gets the storyboard for episode 1 generated free the first time; later episodes, regenerations and every later project pay the storyboard fee. New accounts start with 50 credits as well. The complete list of what is free: What SceneMixer Gives You for Free.

Making the free pool go further

Spend it on the sheets that matter for the video: the lead characters and the rooms that appear in most segments. Minor props and one-scene locations can be generated later, only if a shot needs them; the storyboard falls back to text description for anything without a sheet.

FAQ

Do my free sheets expire when I start a second project?

No. The pool is per account and carries over until it is used up.

Is it five per type?

Not any more. It is one pool of 15 for all types together.

Why does my remake show no free sheets?

Free sheets only apply to projects that paid the parse fee; remakes and ads never draw from the pool.

I deleted a project by mistake. Do I get the sheets back?

No; the generations already ran. The pool only counts tasks, not what you keep.

What is the price after the pool is used?

The default image tier's price per sheet, shown on the button before you generate.

Spend the free ones on the faces that carry the story

Leads and main rooms first; props only when a shot needs them.
