What you get

  • Identity-hold rate per character
  • Retries per episode
  • Cost per finished minute
  • Episodes shipped on cadence, and audience retention by episode

A workspace can run as many distinct series as it likes — each has its own bible, cast and continuity, never shared or blended across projects

A locked canon means a new episode can't contradict an established fact without your explicit approval

The consistency check runs per shot, at a drift threshold you set, rather than catching a mismatch only after assembly

Auto-posting is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended, and unattended posting stays a Pro-plan-and-up feature everywhere — not because it costs more to produce, but because posting to your real account without a look is a risk decision, not a pricing one.

The range this dial covers

continuityStrictness sets the drift threshold that triggers a retry, and how many escalations are budgeted for it.

Shot 2 (Loose): the same fictional man, generated independently in a second scene — identity and wardrobe drift.

What runs unattended vs. needs your approval

Each cycle extends the arc (or reads the next authored beats), builds the shot list, runs the character rig, camera and control pass per referenced character, generates with the consistency check at your chosen drift threshold, and — when canon lock is on — parks the job for your review rather than shipping a canon contradiction.

Auto-post is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended.

Auto-publishing without approval is a Pro-plan-and-up feature — a risk gate, not a cost one. Producing a piece costs the same whoever ordered it; posting to your real account unattended is a different exposure.

Reference: required. Every named character needs a usable, in-date reference sheet before a run can start — this is the consistency anchor the whole pipeline is built around.

Sample outputs

Frequently asked

Does it need my face on camera?

No — characters are built from a reference sheet you provide, rendered and rigged by the pipeline, never a live camera feed of you or anyone else.

Do I need to provide a reference?

Yes, required — every named character needs a reference sheet before a run can start; it's the consistency anchor the whole pipeline depends on.

Does it publish automatically?

Auto-posting is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended, and unattended posting stays a Pro-plan-and-up feature everywhere — not because it costs more to produce, but because posting to your real account without a look is a risk decision, not a pricing one. A locked canon adds one more pause: an episode that would contradict an established fact parks for your approval instead of shipping.

Can I run more than one series?

Yes — a workspace runs as many distinct series as it likes. Each is its own project with its own bible, cast and continuity, and never shares state with another.
