Scene Count
The Scene Count node holds a number of scenes, 5 by default, and sets how many scenes Generate Script writes through its Scene Count input.
The Scene Count node holds a number of scenes, from 1 to 20, with 5 as the default. It never runs a model and costs nothing.
Connect it to the Scene Count input of Generate Script. Its number replaces Number of Scenes in the script's panel, which shows the field read-only while the node is connected.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Number of Scenes | A number from 1 to 20. The default is 5. |
How many scenes to choose
Match the count to the length of the video. A scene usually becomes one clip of about 3 to 5 seconds, so a 30-second video needs about 6 to 10 scenes, and a 60-second script with 10 scenes gives about 6 seconds per scene.
Keep the count between 3 and 15 for the best scripts. Very high counts can produce shallow, repetitive scenes.
Tips
- Set the length next to the count. In Generate Script, Target Length (seconds) sits beside Number of Scenes, and the script spreads the length across the scenes.
- Remember the cost of each scene. Each extra scene usually adds an image and a clip after the script.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Scene Count node set the number of scenes of a script?
Yes. Connect it to the Scene Count input of Generate Script. Its number, from 1 to 20, replaces the one typed in the script's panel.
How many scenes should a 30-second video have?
About 6 to 10, if each scene becomes a clip of 3 to 5 seconds. Divide the target length by the length of one clip.
Why do my scenes feel repetitive?
Very high scene counts can make scene descriptions shallow and repetitive. Keep the count between 3 and 15 for the best scripts.
Does the Scene Count node cost credits?
No. It only holds a value. More scenes usually mean more image and video generations after the script, and those cost credits.
