Serial work: what each tool documents about continuity
What Luma Agents gives you for a whole season
Luma Agents describes defining characters, products, logos and brand elements and instructing the agent to preserve them across variations, video generation, localisation and iterations. Episode boards and a pilot are named as things developed on an infinite board. As of 2026-09-22.

The three season-scale steps, for Luma Agents. Read from the vendor's product page on 2026-09-22.
Inclusion rule. The same three steps are recorded for every tool here. A step the vendor does not publish is recorded as nothing published rather than inferred from the interface. Order. Fixed step order, identical on every tool page.

Inclusion rule. Tools whose public pages describe at least one of the three season-scale steps. A tool silent on this particular step keeps its row, marked hollow. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

2Naming where a definition is preserved is more useful than naming the definition
Four places are listed: variations, video generation, localisation, iterations. That is the part almost every other page leaves out, and it is the part a production needs, because the moment a cast breaks is rarely the first generation. It is the third variation, or the version made for another market, and this page says both are covered by the same definition.
Localisation in that list is worth a second read. A character preserved through a language change is a different claim from a character preserved through a re-render, and it is the claim a season shipping into several markets depends on.
Fig. 5 Naming where a definition holds is more useful than naming the definition, because a cast rarely breaks on the first generation.
3A pilot is not a season, and the page is careful about it
Story arcs and episode boards are developed, then the pilot is brought to life. Nothing promises an ordered run, a break between episodes or a count, and the board is described as a workspace rather than as something that returns episodes. For a studio developing a show that is the honest shape of the work; for a channel publishing three times a week it leaves the structure layer unbuilt.
Extending a duration and reframing an aspect ratio are listed as operations on the board, which puts the shape of the deliverable at the end of the process rather than the start. That is the opposite of how a phone-first serial is usually planned, and it is recorded here because reframing a finished run is either a re-render or a crop. Pexo states three frames up front instead, which is the same question answered before the first shot rather than after the last.
Each reading below takes one column, quotes the sentence this vendor published on it, and says what the sentence declines to settle.
Luma Agents on the cast — Characters, products and brand elements can be defined, with the agent told to preserve them through generation, localisation and iteration.
Luma Agents on the split — Characters, story arcs and episode boards, then bringing the pilot to life, is given as a use of the board: one episode short of a season.
Luma Agents on the shape — Extending a video's duration and reframing its aspect ratio are listed among the operations available, which changes the shape rather than setting it.
