Create Your First Episode

This guide walks you through creating a complete episode from start to finish. The goal is not perfection. The goal is to get something finished.

1. Create or Select a Show

Every episode belongs to a show. If you already have a show, select it from the dashboard. If not, create a new show, give it a name and description, and set default tone sliders if prompted. You can change these later.

2. Start a New Episode

From your show, create a new episode. You will be asked for an episode title and a topic or prompt. This topic guides the script, pacing, and overall direction of the episode.

3. Generate the Script

Fixtion creates a structured script, not a single block of text. The script is organized into beats. Each beat represents a short, timed segment of dialogue. At this stage, you can read through the full script, edit dialogue directly, regenerate individual beats, and lock sections you want to keep. Take a quick pass. You do not need to perfect it yet.

4. Review and Refine

Open the Review and Refine view to fine-tune the episode. Here you can adjust pacing, modify tone, regenerate specific beats, and remove or reorder beats if needed. Because beats are independent, changes here do not affect the rest of the episode.

5. Preview a Beat

Before rendering the full episode, preview a single beat. This lets you hear the voice delivery, see the visual quality, and validate pacing and tone. If something feels off, adjust the beat and preview again. This step saves time and credits.

6. Render the Episode

When ready, render the full episode, or selected beats only. Rendering creates final video and audio assets that can be published or reused.

7. Publish or Export

Once rendering is complete, your assets appear in the Broadcast Hub. From there, you can export the episode, generate promo clips, publish to supported platforms, and track publish history. Your episode is now complete.

What to Do Next

After your first episode, duplicate it to create the next one faster, reuse personas and structure, and experiment with tone and pacing. Fixtion works best when you build momentum.
