What is a series, and when do I use one instead of a project?

The four types

Creating a series, you choose its type:

• Series: episodes running in sequence on one subject.
• Campaign: content tied to a specific marketing goal.
• Season: a batch of episodes with a start and an end.
• Launch sequence: content ordered around launching a product or project.

Title and type are required. Optional: description, project, and start and end dates.

Series or project?

The difference is time:

• A project is a permanent space for a stream of work, such as a channel or a client, and it does not end.
• A series is a set with a beginning and an end inside that stream.

Your channel is a project; the ten episodes you are shooting this summer are a series within it. That is why a series can belong to a project and not the other way round.

Dates

If you give a series a start and an end, the end date may not fall before the start.
