What is a Video Series?

1. What Is a Video Series?

A video series is a collection of videos generated and released on a fixed time schedule. The frequency of these releases depends on your subscription plan, ensuring a steady flow of content tailored to your needs.

  • Scheduled Releases: Videos are automatically created and scheduled based on the timeline set by your subscription tier.
  • Consistent Content: Helps maintain regular engagement with your audience by providing fresh content at predictable intervals.

2. Can I Create Single Videos Instead of a Series?

Currently, Shortspilot.ai only supports the creation of videos within a video series. This means you cannot generate standalone, single videos outside of a series at this time.

  • Future Updates: We are actively working on enabling the creation of single videos. Stay tuned for this feature in upcoming releases!

3. How Do Social Media Connections Work with a Video Series?

    • Automatic Posting: Videos are posted to your YouTube channel automatically once they are generated.
