Run a video series on a schedule

Publishing one video is easy. Publishing one a week for three months is the part that actually works, and the part almost everyone abandons. Here is how to set it once and let it run.

Opens on the brand mark, then walks through the connector and the settings that keep a series consistent.

The problem with posting weekly

Publishing one video is easy. Publishing one every week for three months is a different job, and it is the one that actually moves anything. Most people stop at episode four — not because it is hard, but because it is a recurring decision.

Removing the decision is the whole feature.

Set it once

  1. Write the topic, exactly as you would for a single video.
  2. Open Schedule it — or make a multi-part series.
  3. Choose Weekly and the day and hour it should run.
  4. Tick Make this a series — one episode per run.
  5. Set how many episodes, from 2 up to 52.

Each run produces the next episode and stops when the count is reached. A year of weekly video is 52 — set and forgotten.

Planned, or improvised

You can leave the episode list blank and each part is planned from the main topic, so the series develops on its own. Or paste your episode titles, one per line, and each run takes the next one in order.

Blank is right when the subject is broad — "workplace ergonomics" will happily fill ten episodes. A written list is better when the order matters, because a course taught out of sequence is not a course.

Where each episode goes

Set the publish target with the schedule: keep each episode in your library for review, or send it straight to your connected YouTube channel as it is made. Library-only is the sensible default for the first few runs — watch what it produces before you let it publish under your name unattended.

Keeping the cost predictable

A series is the one place an AI video tool can quietly run up a bill, because it keeps generating after you have stopped watching. Two things prevent that here:

Or just ask Claude

If the app is connected to Claude, a series is a sentence: "make me a five-part series on workplace ergonomics, one a week." Claude will check the options and the cost with you before it starts.
