Publish your first AI film or series on DeepStories
From a YouTube video to a title live on DeepStories: connecting your channel, the artwork that gets clicks, and what the team checks before publishing.
Two ways to publish
You can connect your YouTube channel or submit a title by hand. Connecting is the fastest: once your channel is linked, every new upload is picked up within 15 minutes and lands in the review queue, already sorted into the right series, season and episode.
- Connect YouTube: Creator space, then YouTube. Paste your channel link and choose which series new episodes belong to.
- Submit by hand: Creator space, then New submission. Pick film, series or short, paste the video links and add your artwork.
- Connect YouTube
- New uploads imported
- Team review
- Live in 10 languages
Keep your episode titles consistent, for example “My Series – Episode 4”. That is how new uploads find their place automatically.
Artwork that gets clicks
Viewers decide in a second, from the poster. Two images make a title look like it belongs on a streaming platform:
- A portrait poster (2:3, at least 1000×1500 px): the main character, the title written large, very little text.
- A landscape hero image (16:9, at least 1920×1080 px): a wide shot with no text in the middle, used at the top of pages and in link previews.
- Poster · 2:3 · 1000×1500 px
- Hero image · 16:9 · 1920×1080 px
- Catalog, rows, your profile
- Top of pages, link previews
A YouTube thumbnail works as a placeholder, but a real portrait poster gets noticeably more clicks in the catalog.
Fill in what helps people find you
- A synopsis of 2 or 3 sentences: who, what is at stake, why now. No hashtags or links: they look broken on a streaming page.
- Genres: they place your title on the genre pages that Google indexes, like “AI sci-fi series”.
- The AI tools you used: viewers and other creators search by tool.
- Age rating and content warnings: they tell families what to expect.
Write a synopsis that makes people click
Think of your synopsis as the back cover of a book: it should plant a question in the reader's mind, not answer it.
- Start with the hero and their situation: “A courier who has never left Neo-Lagos…”
- Add what changes everything: “…finds a message addressed to her, dated thirty years in the future.”
- End on the stakes, never on the ending: “She has 48 hours to decide who to trust.”
Read it out loud: if it takes more than 15 seconds, it is too long.
A checklist before you submit
- The video plays and is public or unlisted on YouTube.
- The poster is portrait and the title is readable on a phone.
- The hero image is landscape, with no text in the center.
- Genres, AI tools and age rating are filled in.
- The synopsis has no links and no hashtags.
What happens next
Every submission is reviewed by the team. We check that the video plays, that the artwork fits and that the content follows the creator charter. Once approved, your title is live, its synopsis is translated into 10 languages and it is listed on Google in each of them.
