Questions: fitting AI video into a pipeline
Each question starts from something a pipeline needs, an API, an agent connection, a file an editor can open, and lists the tools whose documentation answers it. As of 2026-09-25.
Tools in an answer are listed alphabetically, each linked to the documentation that says it.
Every question links to the hook behind it, where the whole register is visible.
The answers repeat documentation. They start a shortlist; they do not replace a test call.
Where only two or three tools answer, the silence of the rest is part of the answer.
Questions are phrased the way a pipeline lead asks them: what can be called, what comes back, and what an editor will receive.
Several answers name the same few tools, because only a few document much beyond an API; that concentration is itself worth knowing.
New questions will be added as more tools document more of the pipeline.

Read against “Questions”, this is how SceneMixer describes the matching stage of its own pipeline:
Every character, scene and prop card can carry a short list of the other names your script uses for the same thing.

Scene order, dialogue and beats follow the script; what the pipeline adds is coverage — which shot sizes, who is in frame, how long each shot holds.
