A narrated explainer in Hermoso is a written script, a burst of pictures for each section (roughly one every second and a half) and narration, cut together so that the motion is the edit rather than a slow fake zoom over a still. That structure is what makes a sixty-second explainer affordable, and it is also what makes visual consistency the hard problem: dozens of separately rendered frames have to look like one film.
The style catalog is the answer. Pick one and the pipeline renders a single style key image first, then locks every subsequent frame to it. An unrecognised style is refused by name rather than quietly replaced with the default.

See the style →Style is not the same as channel
Orthogonal to the look is the channel type, which sets the pacing, the narration register and the story grammar. There are four: Explainer, History / documentary, Kids, Fairy tale & myth. Each supplies a default look (Explainer defaults to Editorial collage, History / documentary defaults to Editorial collage, Kids defaults to Studio 3D, Fairy tale & myth defaults to Painted storybook), but naming a style always wins. A history documentary and a children’s explainer rendered in the same style still differ in rhythm and in how the narration talks to you.
How a style is held across a whole film
A narrated explainer is dozens of frames, roughly one every second and a half, cut together so the motion is the edit rather than a fake zoom over a still. Holding one look across that many frames is the hard part, and the pipeline does it by rendering a single style key image first and locking every later frame to it, plus a continuity sheet that carries the recurring subjects.
The style is also separate from the channel (explainer, history, kids or fairy tale), which sets the pacing, the narration register and the story grammar. A channel supplies a default look; naming a style always overrides it. An unrecognised style is refused by name rather than silently swapped for the default, because silently shipping the wrong picture under the right name is worse than an error.
