FAQ
Questions about questions from YouTube creators. 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 turns it into a finished faceless YouTube video: script, cast and settings, voiceover, storyboard, and the final cut. The characters, the settings, and the look stay the same in every shot, and you can edit the result at any step before the next one runs.
How much does Framesail cost?
Framesail is a paid tool. See the pricing page for current plans — Creator, Pro, Studio, and Scale — billed monthly or quarterly (8% off), plus credit packs you can top up anytime.
Do credits expire?
Credits roll over and expire 2 months after they're granted, so unused credits stack for a couple of cycles before the oldest lapses. That applies to both your monthly allowance and any top-ups you buy. Credits are always used soonest-to-expire first, so the ones closest to lapsing are spent before the rest.
How long does a render take?
It scales with the length of the video 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 video is.
Which models does the pipeline use?
A frontier stack — script, image, video, and voice models wired together so you don't juggle four subscriptions. Defaults are tuned; swap any model per project anytime.
Will the output trigger YouTube's inauthentic-content policy?
The pipeline is built to produce non-templated, narrative-driven video with the same characters and settings throughout. 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?
You get a finished video — drop it into Premiere, DaVinci, or any editor like any other clip to add b-roll, intros, or end screens. There's no project-file or editable-timeline export; it's a flat, finished render.
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.
