# Yarnix > Yarnix is the series engine for vertical video: lock a cast once, and every 9:16 episode keeps their faces, voices and real-world sizes — checked shot by shot. It is for adult creators, brands and studios making recurring short series, including kids' content made by adults. ## What it does - Character passports: height in centimetres, proportions in heads, build, palette, outfit, rules and a voice, locked and versioned. - Scale-anchored keyframes: the first frame of each shot is laid out from the passports, then animated. - Quality checks: every shot is measured against a ±7 % height tolerance; drifting shots are retaken inside the episode's budget. - Receipts: every episode lists shots, rejected takes with reasons, the largest height drift, and credits quoted, charged and refunded. - Output: vertical 9:16 episodes with captions kept clear of platform interfaces. - Video models are routed per shot among those the router can call today: Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3, Veo 3.1, FLUX 3 and Grok Imagine 1.5. ## Status Pre-launch.
