FAQ
Operator questions, answered straight. If yours isn't here, send it our way and we'll add it.
What does Framesail actually do?
Framesail takes one creative brief and renders a finished, narrative-driven faceless video through six stations — brief, script, cast & world, voiceover, storyboard, final cut. Characters, environments, and style stay locked across every shot, and you can edit the output of any station before the next one runs.
How much does Framesail cost?
Free accounts start with 1,500 credits and the full generation pipeline — no card required. Creator is $22/month for 12,000 credits and up to 2 channels; Pro is $60/month for 30,000 credits, unlimited channels, and API & MCP access; BYOK is $100/month (50% off at launch) to run generation on your own model keys. Annual billing gets you 2 months free, and you can top up with credit packs anytime.
How long does a render take?
It scales with the length of the cut and how much you regenerate along the way. Every stage runs in the background — kick off a render, leave the page, and come back to review. The storyboard is ready to look at well before the final cut is.
Which models does the pipeline use?
A frontier stack — image, video, and voice models wired together so you don't have to manage four subscriptions. The defaults are tuned; you can swap any model per project when a brief calls for it.
Will the output trigger YouTube's inauthentic-content policy?
The pipeline is built to produce non-templated, character-and-environment-locked, narrative-driven video. That's the opposite of what the July 2025 policy targets. The honest caveat: YouTube reviews channels, not tools — what you ship and how you ship it is still on you.
Can I export to Premiere or DaVinci?
Yes. The final cut exports cleanly into a standard editor. Operators running multi-channel portfolios usually finish in DaVinci or Premiere; the pipeline is built to drop in there, not replace it.
Commercial use?
Yes — every paid tier includes a full commercial license. Ship the video, run the ads, keep the revenue.
What visual styles can it produce?
Any look you can describe or show it — photoreal, anime, papercraft, storybook, stop motion, flat vector, and everything between. Framesail analyzes your references into a reusable style, so every shot in every episode honors the same palette, line, and grade instead of a preset.
