A Few Milliseconds Of 2073 publishing guide

Publishing guide for A Few Milliseconds Of 2073 — the conventions that apply to every episode. The paste-ready title, description and post copy for a given episode live on that episode's own page.

This replaced two self-contained HTML files that used to sit in the project repo. They kept going stale — at one point they listed episodes as "upload pending" months after those episodes had shipped — because nothing ever made anyone open them. A wiki page gets corrected when you visit it to copy from it.

Episode pages

Each page carries a synopsis, the cast, watch links, and a Publishing copy section with every string you paste into an upload form.

Channels

One channel per language, so each reads as a local show rather than a translated feed.

YouTube upload settings

Identical for every video:

  • Made for kids: No
  • Age restriction: No
  • Upload the matching .srt as a same-language subtitle track. Always upload the sidecar — where an mp4 carries a muxed caption track YouTube does not reliably index it, and the windowed-capture renders carry none at all.
  • Add to the channel's series playlist.

Title format

Language Format
English A Few Milliseconds of 2073 (Ep. N) — title first, for click-through
Español Unos Milisegundos de 2073 (Ep. N)
Français Quelques Millisecondes de 2073 (Ép. N)
日本語 2073年のほんの数ミリ秒 — 第N話「<タイトル>」 — digit year, Japanese series name
中文 2073年的几毫秒（第N集）

Known inconsistency: EN Ep 1 is live as A Few Milliseconds of 2073 — Ep. 1: "Two of Me", the early series-first draft format. Everything since uses title-first. Worth editing in Studio.

Description footer

The series name always appears in the video's own language — never leave the English name in a non-English description.

  • EN: A Few Milliseconds of 2073 — a non-dystopian sci-fi short series.
  • JA: 非ディストピアSF短編シリーズ『2073年のほんの数ミリ秒』。

Hashtags

  • EN: #SciFi #AI #ScienceFiction #2073 #ShortFilm
  • JA: #SF #AI #サイエンスフィクション #2073 #短編

Fourth wall

"Ep. N" / "第N話" is fine in titles and descriptions — that is viewer-facing metadata, outside the fiction. The hard rule only forbids a node or the Narrator saying "Episode N" on screen.

Facebook

Facebook is a full second home, not a mirror. Post the full landscape episode natively, then the vertical teaser reel with a pinned comment linking back to the full FB video.

  1. Upload the full episode as native FB video. Caption = the full post text from the episode page.
  2. Copy the new FB video's URL.
  3. Post the teaser reel. Caption = the reel post text.
  4. Pin a comment on the reel = the pinned comment, pasting the FB video URL from step 2.

Do not reuse the YouTube description. Same voice, but FB-tuned: hook first (FB truncates after ~125 characters), one or two hashtags at most, and the link points at YouTube as the canonical home. The Ep 4 reel was captioned with the YouTube description verbatim — 1,023 characters opening on series boilerplate instead of a hook. Don't repeat that.

Caption debt (open)

All 21 local caption files were repaired on 2026-08-09 — full coverage to the last frame, no markup leakage. The live tracks on YouTube are still the old ones. Replacing them is a Studio upload per video and needs no re-render:

  • Truncated closing narration — Eps 1–3 in Español, Français, 日本語 and 中文, plus Ep 4 Français. Between 19 and 55 seconds of each episode's ending had no subtitle. A 2026-08-01 fix restored English only.
  • Markdown markers — asterisks from the scripts rendered literally (*continuity*, **medicine**) in every English track.
