3How a segment-based editor handles what splits Filmora and Scenes AI
| Point | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| How an episode is built | An episode holds segments, and a segment holds every take generated of it | SceneMixer, what is inside a project |
| Whether a redo is charged again | Editing the text is free; a regeneration is charged, for that segment only | SceneMixer, fixing one shot without redoing everything |
| Whether a single shot can be redone | One segment is edited and regenerated without redoing the episode | SceneMixer, fixing one shot without redoing everything |
Inclusion rule. Points on which the two editors differ and SceneMixer's guides describe its own handling. Order. The order points take on every editor page.
