Launch a 10-Episode AI Video Series in 30 Days
A 30-day sprint plan for producing and publishing ten short AI-generated videos — repeatable, cost-controlled, and optimised for YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
Goal
Publish 10 polished, on-brand AI videos across YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikTok within 30 days.
The Playbook
- 1
Week 1 — Define the format
Pick one series concept, one visual style, one voice, one music tone. Write all 10 scripts in a single sitting — batched writing is 3x faster than one-at-a-time. Keep each script under 45 seconds of voiceover.

Week 2 — Generate in batches
Generate all 10 videos' visuals in one or two sessions to keep style consistent. Record all voiceovers in one session for the same reason. Don't start editing yet.
- 3
Week 3 — Edit assembly line
Edit 2-3 videos per day using a shared project template with locked-in LUTs, captions, lower-thirds, and end card. An assembly-line approach cuts per-video edit time by 60% vs one-off edits.

Week 4 — Schedule & launch
Schedule two videos per week across all three platforms using a scheduler. Reserve the last 2-3 days for custom thumbnails, pinned comments, and first-48-hours engagement (reply to every comment).
The core insight: batching
Non-creators underestimate how much context-switching costs a creator. Writing, generating, recording, editing, and scheduling all use different parts of your brain. Doing each step in a dedicated batch — and only switching modes once per week — is what makes 10 videos in 30 days possible.
Scaling the playbook
Once the first cycle runs, the second cycle runs faster. By month 3 most teams are at 15-20 videos per month with the same effort as the first 10. The template is the asset.
