For YouTubers
YouTube video editor: edit a full video in four steps.
For YouTubers who want a hook, chapters, B-roll and captions without a timeline full of cuts. Describe the video, Frameo makes the first cut.
How to edit a YouTube video
Four steps from raw footage to upload.
Edit a YouTube video the way you would brief an editor: footage in, hook first, chapters last.
Drop in your footage or script
The + takes MP4 and MOV. No footage yet? Paste a script and Frameo builds the shots for you.
Cut the hook into the first 15 seconds
Name the moment that should open the video. Frameo pulls it forward and trims the lead-in around it.
Add B-roll, captions and chapter titles
Gaps get B-roll, talk gets captions, and every section gets its own chapter title.
Export 16:9 and a 9:16 Short
Export the 16:9 upload and a vertical Short from the same edit. No second project, no re-cutting.
YouTube chapters
Every chapter, built into the edit.

00:00 HookA pattern-break opener that lands before the first 15 seconds are up.

00:15 IntroA title card that names the video and sets up what you will see.

01:10 Main storyB-roll over talk, so every gap in the take has a shot.

08:40 RecapCaptions over the key points, so the video ends on what matters.

09:30 End screenA subscribe card and the next video, placed for the last seconds.
Made with the editor
How one 9-minute desk-setup review came together.
Five stages, from one talking-head take to a finished upload and a Short. Each stage names the tool that did the work.
Raw footage
MOV uploadThe talking-head take goes in as a MOV through the + button. It is the only footage the review starts from.

Hook cut
MantoManto picks the strongest line and moves it into the first 15 seconds, so the video opens on the point.
B-roll for gaps
Kling 3.0 TurboDesk and gear shots are generated where the talk runs long, so the picture never sits on one angle.

Captions and music
Add Subtitles skillCaptions follow the speech, and a music bed sits under the talk.

Thumbnail and Short
Nano Banana 2A thumbnail still comes from the best frame. Video Aspect Reframe cuts the best minute as a 9:16 Short.

YouTube edits and prompts
Four channels, four prompts.
›Handheld shot from the passenger seat of a dusty olive 4x4 driving along a ridge road through open savannah with scattered acacia trees, hills falling away to a glowing orange dusk sky, dashboard edge in the lower frame. Gentle natural sway, warm amber haze, no text. A 5-second 3:4 clip.
›Overhead top-down shot, camera directly above a stack of three fluffy pancakes on a white plate on a pale wooden table, golden syrup pouring steadily from a small glass jug in a thin ribbon, sliced strawberries beside. Bright morning daylight, cream and gold palette, no text. A 5-second 3:4 clip.
›Dolly in on an open matte black phone box on a light oak desk, a slim silver smartphone standing upright inside it with its screen dark, a folded cable beside it, no text or logos. Clean softbox light from the left, neutral colour, soft shadows, calm and tidy. A 5-second 3:4 clip.
›Static wide shot of a rain-wet city street at night, a lone person in a dark hoodie standing far down the empty road facing the camera, lit by orange-red and teal-green neon glow with bloom, light rain. Blank unlit signs, plain abstract light shapes, no letters, numbers, logos or text anywhere.
