Every setup option, explained
This is a reference rather than a walkthrough: what each of the eight setup steps asks for, exactly which options exist behind it, and which answers you can revise afterwards. Five steps require an answer and three can be skipped.

Step 1 — Niche (required)
The brief that every script is written from. Five presets ship with the product: Scary Stories, History, True Crime, Stoic Motivation and Biblical Stories.
The alternative is a custom brief, which is a free-text field of up to 5,000 characters. This is where a series stops being generic — a specific brief produces a specific series, and a one-line brief produces something close to the preset. A custom brief can be accompanied by an optional example script of up to 2,000 characters, which is used as a tone and structure reference rather than being published. Selecting a preset clears any example script you had entered.
Step 2 — Language and voice (required)
Narration is available in 15 languages: English, German, Chinese, French, Spanish, Korean, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Polish and Dutch. Arabic and Hebrew render right-to-left, and captions switch to an appropriate typeface per script.
Voices are scoped to the language, not shared across it, and the catalogue is uneven: English offers seven, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian offer eight each, while Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and Polish offer two. Spanish is split between Mexican and Castilian narrators and Portuguese between Brazilian and European. Every voice can be auditioned before you choose, and no voice is preselected — this step will not let you past until you pick one.
Script length is tuned per language rather than being a fixed word count, so the same duration produces a different character count in Chinese than in English.
Step 3 — Background music (optional)
Seven instrumental tracks: Neon Drift, Heartbreak, Ocean Fade, Rise Up, Sunset, Tender and Whisper. Selection is multiple — pick several and each video draws one of them at random, which is the simplest way to stop a long-running series sounding identical week to week.
This step can be skipped entirely, and the footer button says so. Music is one of the few answers with no editing surface afterwards, so it is worth a moment now.
Step 4 — Art style (required)
Fourteen visual treatments, applied to every generated image in the series: Eerie Toon, Disney, Anime, Painting, Dark Fantasy, Lego, Realism, Fantastic, Comic, Creepy Cartoon, Sketch, Graphic Novel, Noir Cartoon and Kawaii. Each is shown as a vertical preview so you are choosing from the output rather than from the name. This is editable on the series later.
Step 5 — Caption style (required)
Nine burned-in caption treatments: Bold Stroke, Red Highlight, Sleek, Karaoke, Majestic, Beast, Elegant, Pixel and Clarity. Each renders as a live animated preview during setup rather than a static image, because the timing is the point — Karaoke highlights word by word, and that is not visible in a screenshot. Also editable later.
Step 6 — Effects (optional)
Four independent toggles, all off unless you turn them on: 3D Parallax adds depth movement to still images, Soft Screen Shake punches dramatic moments, Film Look adds cinematic grain, and Dynamic Transitions weights the cuts between scenes. They compose freely.
Worth knowing before you skip: these are set here and there is no editing surface for them afterwards.
Step 7 — Platforms (optional)
TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, multi-select. This step records intent only — no account is authorised here. You connect the accounts themselves after setup from the social accounts screen, and the selection is editable on the series afterwards.
Step 8 — Name, length and schedule (required)
The series name is the only required answer on this step. It is internal — it labels the series in your dashboard and never appears on your social profiles. A suggestion button will fill one in if naming things is not how you want to spend the next minute.
Video length offers two options, 60–70 seconds or 30–40 seconds, with the longer one as the default. This is a one-time choice: the length is displayed but not editable once the series exists.
The schedule is a publish time plus a timezone, which is detected from your browser and can be overridden. This is the anchor the whole posting cadence is derived from, and both halves are editable later.
What you can revise afterwards
Editable on the series: name, niche brief, art style, caption style, voice, language, publish time, timezone, target platforms, auto-posting, review mode, and whether scripts are AI-written or supplied by you. Custom scripts, when enabled, accept 100 to 2,200 characters each.
Not editable after setup: video length, background music, and the four effect toggles. Posting frequency is also fixed, but for a different reason — it is derived from your plan rather than chosen, and appears as a locked row.
Common questions
Which steps can I skip?
Three: background music, effects and platform selection. The other five — niche, language and voice, art style, caption style, and the final naming and scheduling step — each require an answer before the flow will advance.
Can I write the scripts myself instead of having them generated?
Yes. Script mode is a setting on the series, and switching it to self-written lets you supply each script directly, between 100 and 2,200 characters. A series in that mode simply waits when no script is queued rather than generating one anyway.
Can I change the art style after my series has been running a while?
Yes, and it takes effect quickly — style changes are pushed down to videos that are queued but not yet built, so the next video generally reflects the change rather than the one after it.
Why can I not change video length or music later?
Both are captured during setup and no editing surface exists for them in the product today. Music in particular is worth a deliberate choice at setup, since selecting several tracks is what keeps a long-running series from sounding repetitive.
