How to make an AI series with the same characters in every episode

Open Series Maker (Studio > Series Maker in the sidebar) and write the show the way you would pitch it to a friend. The planner needs four things: the cast and what makes each one funny or interesting, the place the show keeps coming back to, the tone, and the engine, the thing that goes wrong in every episode. Then say what this first episode is about.

From that, Series Maker writes a series bible and keeps it with the series. Every later episode is planned against it. This is the bible it wrote for The Next Unicorn, shortened:

PREMISE   Recursa is a four-person pre-seed startup run out of a cramped
          converted apartment. Each episode it chases the next big thing with
          total conviction, a minimal product and maximum hype, and is usually
          undone by its own success.

RULES     Alex never admits failure; every disaster is "validation" or a "pivot".
          Maya's technical warnings are always correct and always ignored.
          Ben can grow a waitlist for anything, including things that do not exist.
          A ping on Ryan's phone freezes the whole room.
          All companies, investors and products are fictional.

GAGS      Ben's waitlist number grows absurdly no matter what happens.
          Maya's one-line deadpan read of the situation is always exactly right.
          Alex ends every crisis by pitching a bigger version of the idea that caused it.

Under the prompt, pick a style (Default lets Revid choose; The Next Unicorn uses 2D Sitcom), a ratio (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts), a length and a video tier. The series keeps the style, ratio, tier and spoken language for every next episode, so choose them for the show, not for one episode.

• Length: from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, the series outro included, or Auto, where the planner sizes the episode to the story.
• Low: the cheapest tier, scenes up to 15 seconds, about 15 credits per 5 seconds. Good for drafts.
• Pro: scenes up to 15 seconds, about 50 credits per 5 seconds.
• Ultra: Seedance 2.5, scenes up to 30 seconds, about 100 credits per 5 seconds. The best acting and motion; The Next Unicorn runs on it.

You can also attach up to six images: your own characters, a real place, a product or a logo. Revid reads each one and asks you to confirm what it is, then it joins the series' cast or world, restyled to the series' look or kept as it is.

Before generating anything, Series Maker writes the whole episode as a plan: scenes of up to 15 or 30 seconds, each with its shots (size, angle, camera move), the exact cast of every shot, the dialogue and how it is delivered, sound effects and music cues, and the transition to the next scene. Planning takes a few minutes and costs nothing.

• Autopilot: confirm once at Start and Series Maker approves the plan, draws the references, generates every scene and assembles the episode without stopping. It may spend up to 2,500 credits on the episode; above that, it waits for you before generating anything.
• Manual: you read the plan (the Blueprint) with its credit estimate, approve or replan it, approve each reference image, then generate scenes and redo any one of them, or ask for a change in your own words.

Each new character, place and prop in the plan gets one reference image (16 credits each). When one is approved, Revid also writes down exactly what it shows, and the asset joins the series' registry. Every scene clip is generated from those references, never from a fresh description, which is why Alex keeps his grey hoodie and Maya her pencil-in-the-bun in every shot below.

When the story needs a different state of something, the planner adds a look to the same asset instead of a new one. Ben's phone has four: the waitlist at 48K, 212K, 900K and 4M. Ryan's phone has seven, one per message the story needs to show on screen.

When every scene is in, Series Maker assembles the episode in the Revid editor: the clips in order with the cut each transition calls for, a music score written for the episode, captions, the series title on the first episode, and the series outro at the end (made once, with the first episode). It shows up in your Videos like any other project and the episode panel in the editor lets you swap a scene version or revise one.

Export it as an mp4 (720p, 1080p or 4K), then publish or schedule it to TikTok, YouTube or Instagram from Revid. A 16:9 series works as a YouTube show; cut a vertical teaser from the best scene for Shorts and TikTok.

Once a series exists, the Auto Scheduler can make its next episode on its own: pick the days and the time, write a direction for future episodes, and each run plans a new story with the same cast and world, then generates and assembles it, with no page open. The Next Unicorn's direction asked for a fresh comedic situation every time and for the office to stay the home base without every episode happening in it, which is how it got a subway, an expo hall and a restaurant.

Continue the series with the same characters, relationships, visual style
and sitcom identity. Each new episode introduces a fresh comedic situation
instead of repeating the previous episode's structure. Use the startup office
as a recurring home base, but set most episodes somewhere new.
