What decides whether a book can be adapted

Keep your own copy of everything you upload

Several tools keep content only within limits. Luma may set storage and retention limits and takes no liability for deleting inputs or outputs; OpenArt keeps private creations for seven days for those who never subscribed; Pika keeps content only within plan limits. As of 2026-09-25.

Fig. 1 Each reading keeps the quote it was taken from.

A tool is a workshop, not an archive; the manuscript, the edition and the rights evidence belong somewhere the user controls.

Download finished scenes as soon as they are made.

Keep the source text alongside the prompts that produced each scene, so the work can be rebuilt elsewhere.

An account closed after an infringement notice takes its projects with it.

2Turning the book into episodes

Once the rights in “Keep your own copy of everything you upload” are settled, SceneMixer describes the adaptation itself like this:

A serialized vertical-video show (typically 60–120 seconds per episode, 9:16) where the cast, scenes, and footage are AI-generated.

SceneMixer, The AI Micro Drama Production Pipeline — “What is an AI micro drama?” (read 2026-10-13)

SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.
