Writing prompts scene by scene for an episode

Making an AI episode is different from making a single video: you need many shots that look like the same world, and you need them in the right order. Spider Hub won't write the script for you, but the way it numbers shots, names files and pastes prompts in bulk makes the process much tidier. This article goes from script to a folder of files ready to edit.

Step 1: one episode, one project

In Studio, click the + next to the project name in the top-left corner to create a New project, and name it something like "Episode 02". Every shot in that project gets its own number starting at #01, and every video file starts with the project name:

Episode 02_01.mp4
Episode 02_02.mp4
Episode 02_03.mp4

Turn on One subfolder per project on the SAVE VIDEOS TO line if you want each episode in its own folder. Details in Projects, shot numbers and file names.

Step 2: split the script into shots

A shot is one video. Split the script into parts that each carry one complete visual idea, then pick the length that suits each part:

Kind of part	Suggested length	Model
Cutaway, close-up of an object, a short reaction	5 or 10 seconds	Seedance 2.0 or 2.5
One complete action	15 seconds	Seedance 2.0
A sequence of small scenes with transitions	30 seconds	Seedance 2.5

Write 30-second shots with the 3–4 scene formula. A short shot only needs one clear action and a line about the light.

Step 3: keep the characters consistent

This is what makes an episode feel continuous.

Reuse exactly the same reference images for recurring characters, in the same order. If the lead is image 1 in one shot, keep them image 1 in every shot.
Write one fixed character description (age, clothes, recognisable details) and copy it word for word to the start of every prompt featuring that character. Don't rephrase it each time.
Keep one shared style phrase at the end of every prompt in the episode: same light, same colour, same camera style.
Keep one aspect ratio for the whole episode.

Reference images showing real people are often refused by Dola to protect portraits. For characters who appear many times, use illustrated characters or describe them in words only. See Reference images.

Step 4: paste the whole episode at once

Write every prompt of the episode in a text file, in scene order, one prompt per line, with a blank line between prompts. In Studio click Paste Batch, paste, check how many shots the app counted, and confirm.

The dialog splits in two ways:

A blank line between prompts (the default).
One prompt per line, handy when you copy a whole column from a spreadsheet.

Each prompt becomes a draft card, numbered in the order you pasted. Up to 200 prompts go in at once. Attach reference images to the cards that need them, then click Generate all.

Step 5: pick the best take with Create similar

Not every shot comes out right the first time. For a finished shot where you want more options, click Create similar: the app makes another take with the same prompt, images and settings, keeping the shot number. The second take of shot 4 shows as #04 · 2 and is saved as Episode 02_04-2.mp4.

When editing, every option for a scene sits side by side in the folder, so you pick the best one without guessing which file is which scene.

If you want a new scene based on an old one, use Duplicate shot instead: the new shot gets a new number and you change the prompt before running it.

Example: a 6-shot episode

Shot	Content	Length
#01	Wide shot of a seaside town at dawn, drone slowly descending	10 seconds
#02	The lead opens the shop, pulls the blinds, sunlight floods in	10 seconds
#03	Getting ready: brewing coffee, laying out pastries, the first customer walks in	30 seconds
#04	Close-up of a hand setting a cup on the table	5 seconds
#05	Sudden rain, customers rush in, the shop fills up, climax in slow motion	30 seconds
#06	The rain stops, the lead stands in the doorway looking at the sea, camera pulls away	15 seconds

Paste these six prompts once, run them overnight, and in the morning you have Episode 02_01.mp4 to Episode 02_06.mp4, ready to drop into your editor in file-name order.

Summary

One project per episode; shot numbers become the file order for editing.
Pick length by kind of part: 5–10 seconds for cutaways, 15 for one action, 30 for a sequence.
Keep characters consistent with the same images, the same description, the same style phrase and the same ratio.
Paste the whole episode with Paste Batch, one prompt per line.
Create similar adds a take of the same shot; Duplicate shot makes a new shot.
