Series: plan 3–12 parts in one go.

Describe the series in your own words. The producer reads the channel, your documents and your library, then proposes the parts in order. Nothing is queued until you commit.

Why a series

A single video has to earn its own click. A series borrows from the one before it: the second part is watched by people who finished the first, and the third by people who now want the ending. Channels that hold an audience week to week tend to be built this way, and the producer has been reading those channels for a while.

Until now it made one video at a time, each measured against what was getting views that week. That is still how most of the queue is filled. Series is for the moments when you know where you want to take the channel over a month.

How it is planned

You write one paragraph: what the series is about, who it is for, roughly how many parts. The producer reads the channel you pointed it at, your Library and any documents you have added, then proposes the parts in order: a title, a slot, and a line on what each one covers.

A proposal, before commit. Rename a part, reorder, drop one: the rest adjust.

Three to twelve parts. Slots come from your schedule, so a three-part series on a Tuesday-and-Friday channel spans ten days; a twelve-part one, six weeks. Nothing is queued until you press commit.

Each part knows the last

This is the part that matters. Part 2 is written with part 1 open beside it: the same names, the same numbers, the same promises kept. Part 3 closes on what parts 1 and 2 set up. If you change a line in part 1 before it is filmed, the later parts are re-read against it.

Written once from what we learned studying the channel you pointed at, then carried through the whole run.

The covers follow the same rule. Each is drawn to the channel’s thumbnail habits, and the series shares one visual idea across all of them, so the three sit together on the channel page.

The doors still apply

A series does not skip the doors. If you have the cold open door open, every part waits there for you. If you have the upload door open, every part waits there too. Open none and the series goes out on its slots.

What it costs

The same as the videos would cost on their own: ✦100cr per finished hybrid minute, ✦60cr for still, ✦350cr for animated. Planning the series is free. Series of up to twelve parts are on the Studio plan; Starter and Channel plan up to six.
