Questions from YouTubers.

How do I find video ideas for a small channel?

Pick one niche and note what your viewers ask in the comments. Write one of those ideas as a scene prompt, then make a quick version in Frameo to test it before you film.

Can I use AI clips in monetized YouTube videos?

You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position, and YouTube's own policies decide what can be monetized, so check both before you publish.

Can one idea become a Short and a long-form video?

Yes. Make the idea once, then Frameo reframes it between 9:16 and 16:9 without cropping, and the AI fills in the extra space. One idea, two shapes.

How long does a video take to make?

It depends on the length you choose and the model you run it on. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.

Your next upload starts with one prompt.

Pick an idea, write it as a scene and let Frameo make the video. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.
