What decides whether a book can be adapted

Deleting a project, and what it does not end

Deleting a project removes it from the account. Whether it ends the licence depends on the terms. Runway's licence is perpetual and irrevocable; OpenArt's is perpetual and transferable; Luma's over paid input is irrevocable. As of 2026-09-25.

invideo's licence, by contrast, is limited to what is needed to provide the service.

A licence that outlasts the project is not a claim to own the text, but it is permission that stays with the tool.

Read the licence clause before uploading anything that must stay private.

2Turning the book into episodes

Once the rights in “Deleting a project, and what it does not end” are settled, SceneMixer describes the adaptation itself like this:

The spoken lines and the end card follow your interface language across fifteen dialogue languages, with the cast and setting adapted to that market. The end card falls back to a language it can typeset when a script needs shaping or right-to-left layout.

SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.
