Parse Scenes
The Parse Scenes node takes a block of text (typically a script) and splits it into individual scene descriptions. Each scene becomes an item in a text array that can be fed into a Split node for per-scene processing.Inputs
Outputs
How it works
- Local parsing — If the input text already has numbered lines (e.g.,
1. First shot\n2. Second shot), scenes are extracted instantly without using AI credits. - AI parsing — If the text is free-form (no numbered structure), the node uses AI to decompose it into a numbered scene list. This costs 1 credit.
- Inline editing — Click any scene to edit its description before confirming.
When to use
- Before a Split node to process each scene individually through Image Gen, Video Gen, Trim, etc.
- As a standalone scene parser in composable multi-shot workflows.
- Whenever you need to decompose a script into discrete visual shots.
Tips
- Connect a Script Generation node before this to get properly formatted numbered scripts (saves credits since no AI parsing is needed).
- The node preserves scene order, which is important for sequential Split mode (visual continuity).
