  • What Are Shows?

    A show is a series of videos you put together as episodes, with its own title, plotline, and title card. A show can star one of your characters, or it can be just yours.

    Shows are currently available in the Cantina app for iPhone.

    With a show, you can:

    • Name it and describe it with a title, a plotline, genres, and a starring cast.
    • Create a title card, the poster for your show. Edit the prompt, swipe through versions, or tap the refresh icon to make a new one.
    • Add episodes from any of your videos on Cantina. Add them in the order you want viewers to watch.
    • Edit your show anytime: the details, the title card, and the episodes.
    • Move an episode to another show by removing it from one show and adding it to the other.
    • Remove episodes or delete a show. Your original videos stay on Cantina.

    Where shows appear

    • A character's show appears on the character's profile and on your profile under that character's name.
    • A show that's just yours appears on your profile.

    Start a show

    Open one of your characters from Bots, scroll to its shows, and tap New Show. Add a title, then tap Continue to make your title card.

    Manage a show
