How the apps were read
Each app's own pricing page was read first, then its feature or help pages where the pricing page was silent. A feature is recorded when a page lists it, with the words it rests on; otherwise it is recorded as not stated. As of 2026-09-25.
1Which apps are included
Apps whose own pages present them as tools for short social videos, with at least one AI feature, and whose pages could be read as text. Apps whose sites carry almost no text, and apps reachable only inside an app store, are left out.
2What is left out
Prices, and any judgement of quality. The register records what a page lists, not how well it works; nothing was installed or used to produce these readings.

4Where the footage comes from
Upstream of an app feature like “How apps were read”, SceneMixer describes its own generation steps:
SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.

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.
