Create a video series in Fliki
Plan, produce, and schedule an entire series of videos - all from a single workflow. Whether you're a content creator posting weekly on YouTube, a therapist sharing wellness tips, or a business running educational campaigns, the Series feature lets you go from one idea to a full content calendar in minutes.
Before you start: Who is this for?
The Series feature is built for anyone who needs consistent, recurring video content without the overhead of producing each video from scratch. Here's who'll benefit most:
Professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, Therapists, Accountants) - If you want to establish authority in your field by publishing a regular stream of educational videos for your audience, Series lets you plan an entire month of content in one sitting. A therapist could create a weekly mental health tips series; an accountant could produce a tax season advice series - all with consistent branding and scheduling.
Content Creators & Influencers - If you're trying to stay consistent on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, Series removes the biggest bottleneck: coming up with ideas and producing them one by one. Define your niche, set your style, and Fliki generates episode ideas, outlines, scripts, and videos in bulk.
Businesses & Marketing Teams - If you're using video for lead generation, product education, or thought leadership, Series gives you a repeatable production system. Set it once, and Fliki handles the rest - including auto-scheduling and publishing at the intervals you define.
Now, let's walk through the entire process of creating a video series from start to finish.
Step 1 - Open the Series page and start a new series
Ensure you have an active paid subscription on your Fliki account.
In the left sidebar, click Series (marked with a "new" badge).
You'll see the Series listing page, which shows all your existing series in a table with their title, episode progress, status (Active, Paused, or Draft), last updated time, next scheduled run, and action buttons.
Click the Create series button in the top-right corner.
This opens the series creation wizard, which guides you through six steps: Details, Styles, Episodes, Scripts, Customizations, and Summary. A progress stepper at the top shows which step you're on.
Step 2 - Add series details
This is where you define what your series is about.
Title - Enter a clear, descriptive name for your series. This is how it will appear in your series list. For example: "Mind Matters with Dr. Sarah" or "Weekly Tax Tips with Mark."
Description - Write a detailed description of your series. Explain the core topic, scope, recurring themes, and the style you want. The more detail you provide, the better Fliki's AI will generate episode ideas and scripts. For example, you might write: "A mental health awareness series hosted by Dr. Sarah. Each episode covers a common mental health topic in a warm, educational, and non-judgmental way, with practical tips viewers can apply in daily life."
Click Next to proceed. Fliki will process your input and use it to auto-generate suggestions for the next step.
Why the description matters: Fliki's AI reads your description to automatically suggest the tone, audience, use cases, and even episode topics. A vague description produces generic results. A detailed one gives you a series that feels intentional and tailored.
Step 3 - Define your style preferences
After processing your details, Fliki auto-fills this page with intelligent suggestions based on your description. You can review and adjust every field.
Language & Dialect - Select the language and regional dialect for your series. Fliki supports 80+ languages.
Tone - These are tag-style selections that define the mood of your series. Fliki will suggest tones based on your description (e.g., Empathetic, Educational, Warm, Encouraging). Click the × on any tag to remove it, or click into the field to add new ones.
Use case - Describes the purpose of your series (e.g., Mental health education, Self-improvement, Stress management). Again, auto-suggested but fully editable.
Audience - Define who your target viewers are (e.g., Adults 18–45, People experiencing stress or anxiety). This helps the AI tailor episode topics and language.
Aspect ratio - Choose between Landscape, Portrait, or Square depending on your target platform. Landscape works well for YouTube, Portrait for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and Square for general social media.
Length - Use the slider to set the target length for each episode. This can range from short-form clips to longer videos (e.g., 5 minutes, 8 minutes).
Click Next to proceed. Fliki will now generate episode ideas based on all your inputs.
Step 4 - Review and refine episode ideas
This is where the AI generates a complete set of episode outlines for your series.
After a brief processing time, Fliki presents a list of episodes - each with a title, structured outline (sections with suggested timestamps), and key talking points. For an 8-minute mental health series, you might see 8 episodes like "Taming Your Worry Monster: Practical Steps for Anxiety" and "Building Your Mental Fitness Routine: Habits for Well-being."
Each episode outline includes timed sections such as:
Intro (0:45) - Hook and welcome
Understanding the Topic (2:00) - Educational overview
Practical Strategies (4:00) - Actionable tips (usually 3 tips per episode)
Sticky Moment & Call to Action (0:45) - Recap and viewer challenge
Outro (0:30) - Thank you and subscribe reminder
You can make changes in two ways:
Directly edit - Click into any episode title or outline field to edit the text.
Use the chat prompt - At the bottom of the page, there's a text field that says "Ask for any additions or changes to your episodes." Type your request (e.g., "Add an episode about sleep hygiene" or "Remove Episode 3") and Fliki's AI will update the list accordingly.
Between each episode, you'll see add (+) and delete (trash) icons that let you insert a new episode or remove an existing one.
Once you're happy with the episode lineup, click Next to generate scripts.
Step 5 - Generate and review scripts
Fliki generates a full script for the first episode automatically. The script page has a sidebar on the left listing all episodes, and the main area shows the title, outline, and script for the selected episode.
You have several options here:
Navigate between episodes using the sidebar (Episode 1, Episode 2, etc.) or the Previous/Next buttons.
Generate all - Click the "Generate all" button to have Fliki generate scripts for all remaining episodes at once. This runs automatically and you can watch the progress as notification badges disappear from each episode in the sidebar.
Edit scripts - Click into the script text area to make manual changes.
Use the chat prompt - Type changes like "Make the tone more casual" or "Shorten the intro and improve the hook" in the field at the bottom that says "Ask for any changes to your episode script."
Once all scripts are generated and reviewed, click the Step 5 (Customizations) button in the progress stepper at the top to proceed.
Step 6 - Customize visuals, audio, and scheduling
This is the most feature-rich step. It's split into two main areas: content customization on the left, and scheduling on the right.
Content customization (left side)
These cards let you configure how your videos look and sound. Click any card to expand it and see its options:
Stock Media - Select this to use stock images and video clips for your visuals. This is the default option.
AI Image - Switch to AI-generated visuals. When selected, you'll see:
A style dropdown (e.g., Cinematic, Film noir, Anime, 3D Model, etc.)
An AI image model dropdown (e.g., Z Image Turbo at 0.05 credits per image)
An AI Video section appears below with a model selector and a slider for "AI video clip percentage" - this controls what percentage of AI-generated images will be converted into video clips.
AI Avatar - Select an AI avatar to serve as the presenter in your videos.
Voiceover - Click to open the Voice selection dialog. You can filter voices by language, dialect, gender, and voice style. Browse through Cloned voices & Favorites, Multilingual voices, and Ultra voices sections. Click the speaker icon to preview any voice, then click Select.
Caption - Choose a caption style for subtitles on your videos, or set to None.
Thumbnail - Upload or configure a custom thumbnail for your episodes.
Template - Apply a custom Fliki template to maintain consistent layouts across episodes. If you've already created templates (see the custom templates tutorial), you can select one here.
Brand kit - Apply your brand kit to keep colors, fonts, logos, and watermarks consistent across all episodes.
Scheduling (right side)
Configure when and how episodes are produced and published:
Episode production run - Choose between:
Periodic - Episodes are produced on a recurring schedule.
Immediate - All episodes are produced at once.
Frequency - (Appears when Periodic is selected) Choose Weekly or Monthly.
Time - Set the time of day for scheduled production (e.g., 02:30 PM).
Days of week - Select which days episodes should be produced (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri). Click to toggle individual days.
Auto publish - Check this box to automatically publish videos to YouTube after they're rendered, without manual review.
Once everything is configured, click Save to proceed to the summary.
Step 7 - Review and launch
The Summary page gives you a final overview before launching your series.
You'll see a table with all your episodes showing:
Episode number and Title
Status - Draft (not yet rendered), Rendered (video ready), or Failed
Credit estimate - How many Fliki credits each episode will cost
Updated - When the episode was last modified
Actions - Edit (pencil icon) to modify an individual episode, and Schedule (calendar icon) to set a specific date/time for that episode
At the bottom, you'll see the Total credit estimate for the entire series.
You have three options:
Start series - Begins production according to your schedule. If set to Periodic, the first episode will be produced at the next scheduled time. If Immediate, all episodes start rendering right away.
Pause series - (Appears after starting) Temporarily halts production. You can resume later.
Cancel series - Stops the series entirely.
Managing your series after launch
Once your series is active, you can manage it from the Series listing page:
The Episodes column shows a color-coded progress bar: green segments represent rendered (completed) episodes, red segments indicate failed episodes, blue segments show episodes currently rendering, and gray segments are drafts still waiting to be produced.
The Status column shows whether the series is Active, Paused, or Draft.
The Next run column shows the date and time of the next scheduled episode production.
Use the calendar icon to reschedule and the trash icon to delete a series.
Click on any series title to open it and navigate between all six steps to review or edit details, styles, episodes, scripts, customizations, or the summary at any time.
Tips for getting the best results
Write a detailed description - The more context you give in Step 1, the more relevant and tailored your episodes, tones, and audience suggestions will be. Include the host's name, the format of each episode, what topics to cover, and the visual style you're going for.
Use the chat prompts to iterate - Both the Episodes and Scripts steps include a chat field where you can ask the AI to make adjustments. This is much faster than manually rewriting - just describe what you want changed and the AI handles it.
Match your aspect ratio to your platform - Landscape for YouTube, Portrait for TikTok and Instagram Reels, Square for LinkedIn and general social feeds.
Start with Periodic scheduling - This lets Fliki produce one episode at a time on your schedule, giving you a chance to review each video before the next one is produced. Once you're confident in the quality, you can enable Auto publish.
Apply a Brand kit and Template for consistency - If you've set up a Brand kit (with your logo, colors, and fonts) and a custom template, applying them in Step 5 ensures every episode in your series has the same professional look without manual adjustments.
Review credit estimates before starting - The Summary page shows you the total credit cost for the entire series. Make sure your account has enough credits to cover production, especially for longer series or when using AI images and AI video clips.
With Series, you're not producing videos one at a time - you're building a content engine that plans, scripts, produces, and publishes on autopilot. Set it up once, and focus on what matters: growing your audience.
