How many generations run at once on SceneMixer

SceneMixer publishes a figure for every tier: three generations at once on a free account, then five, eight, ten, fifteen and twenty on the paid tiers in order. The top three tiers add a priority queue, and anything past the limit waits with its credits held. As of 2026-09-22.

2A figure for every tier, and what it counts

The guide gives a number for each plan and says what it counts: every generation, video segments, sheets, storyboards and composites alike. A production can therefore size a batch before buying, which most channels in this register do not let it do.

It is also explicit about the other side. A plan changes how many jobs run at once, not how long one generation takes, because the same model does the same work on every tier.

3Where concurrency matters most in this kind of product

A tool that turns a script into episodes generates in batches by design: a set of character sheets, then a set of scene plates, then every segment of an episode. At three at a time those batches run in rounds; at ten, an episode's segments can all be in flight together.

The figure therefore decides the wall-clock time of a delivery rather than its cost, which is why it sits in its own column on this ledger.

4A priority queue is not a faster generation

The top three tiers carry a priority queue on the site's own queue. The guide states plainly that it does not reorder anything at the model service and does not make a single generation faster; it decides who waits when the site is busy. That distinction is worth more than the feature, because the two are usually sold as the same thing.
