The Clip You Upload for a Remake: Where It Is Stored, What It Is Used For, and What It Is Never Used For

Quick answer: The clip you upload is used for one thing: to be read. The site cuts it into shots, recognises the people, places and props, listens for the spoken lines, and writes an episode outline from that. Everything you then generate — sheets, storyboard, clips — is made from the reading, not from the footage. The footage is never handed to the video model as a reference, so the result does not copy its frames and you are not charged twice for its seconds. It is stored under a private, unguessable address, is not shown to other users, is not used to train anything, and is queued for deletion as soon as the read completes, then permanently removed about a week later. You are responsible for having the right to use the clip; the read does not check ownership.

Compare a remake’s clips with the source: same cast, places and lines, but the framing and the faces are the site’s own; nothing is lifted from the footage.

What the clip is used for

Reading: cutting into shots, describing each shot, identifying the recurring people and places, listening to each shot for dialogue, noting whether there is music. The outputs are text and a few still frames used during the read; from there the project is an ordinary script project. Source Video Limits, Read Time and Price.

The SceneMixer episode editor: asset library on the left, the storyboard in the middle, the video preview on the right, and every segment along the bottom timeline — The clip is read once: cuts, people, places, lines. The clips you generate are made from that reading, not from the footage.

What it is never used for

Not as a reference video for generation: the video models can take reference clips, and the site deliberately does not pass yours. That is why remakes do not reproduce the source’s frames and why you pay for the read by the minute and for the output by the second, never both on the same seconds. Not shown to anyone else, not on any public page, not in the sample gallery. Not used to train models.

Where it is stored

In the site’s storage under an address that cannot be guessed and is not listed anywhere; pieces cut during the read (shots, the audio track, a lower-resolution working copy) are stored the same way. During the read, a working copy may also be placed, under an unguessable address, where the reading service can fetch it; it is removed after the read.

When it is deleted

The source clip does not wait for the project: it is queued for deletion as soon as the read completes and permanently removed about a week later. The project’s own files go the same way when you delete the project, and deleting your account does that for every project. The Seven-Day Window.

Rights

Upload only footage you have the right to use. The read does not check ownership, and the result is your project under your account; a remake of someone else’s film is your responsibility, and the content rules apply to what you generate from it. Content Rules.

FAQ

Can I download the source back from the site?

It is not offered as a download; keep your original.

Why does the remake look different from the source?

Because it is generated from the reading, with your cast sheets and styles, not from the frames.

Can I re-read the same clip with different settings?

Reading happens once per project; start a new remake for a new read.

Are the still frames from the read kept?

A few are used during the read; they are not shown anywhere in your project.

Does the site check copyright?

No. Upload what you have rights to.

Read once, then it is your project
