ViewMade charges $29 per month on the Starter plan for 50 renders, which works out at $0.58 per finished vertical Short, measured on 22 August 2026. You paste one YouTube link and the engine works from that single input.
What you actually give it
The engine accepts a YouTube URL directly. No file upload, no transcript paste, no topic prompt. The link requests read-only access (youtube.readonly), the access token is discarded after import, and no refresh token is stored. ViewMade cannot upload to your channel, edit it, delete anything, or post comments.
Be clear about what happens next: ViewMade uses the interview as source material. It researches around the subject, writes a script, and produces a finished vertical documentary Short with real archive footage, maps, and graphs. It does not take your existing footage, reframe it to 9:16, and hand back clipped segments of the original video. If you want your own recording sliced into shorts, that is a different tool category. If you want a sourced documentary built from the subject of the interview, this is the right input.
The three steps
- Paste the YouTube link of the interview.
- The engine pulls the transcript, researches the subject, and builds a script.
- It renders a 1080x1920 Short with narration, burned-in subtitles, and a thumbnail.
What comes back
One finished package per render:
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Video | 1080x1920 vertical |
| Subtitles | Word-by-word, embedded in the image, 7 styles |
| Narration | 5 languages |
| Footage | Licensed real archive imagery, maps, graphs |
| Metadata | Title, description, tags |
| Audio | Background music included |
| Provenance | Media credit file naming the source of every clip |
You download the file and publish it yourself. ViewMade never touches your channel.
Limits
Three real limits apply here. First, duration: the output is a single Short, not a batch of clips cut from your video, so a 90-minute interview becomes one vertical documentary about its subject, not twenty segments. Second, language: narration ships in 5 languages and the interface in 7 (en, tr, de, es, fr, it, pt); if your audience needs another narration language, the render cannot provide it today. Third, footage: visuals come from real archive sources rather than a generation model, so coverage depends on what exists for the subject. A well-documented event renders richly; an obscure personal story may have thinner visual material than a generated-video tool would produce. Production starts after successful payment; there is no free tier and no signup credit.
What it costs
| Plan | Price | Renders/month | Per Short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29/month | 50 | $0.58 |
| Pro monthly | $59/month | 150 | $0.20 |
| Pro yearly | $354/year ($29.50/month equivalent) | 150 | $0.20 |
Pro yearly is a 50% discount against monthly billing. Pro adds 10 AI child videos per month, priority render queue, and API plus MCP access. Agency pricing is custom. Starter is monthly only; there is no yearly Starter plan. Prices measured on 22 August 2026 from viewmade.com/pricing.
For comparison, Revid's entry Hobby plan lists at $39 per month and Crayo's Hobby plan runs $13 per month equivalent on annual billing, both measured on 23 August 2026. Opus Clip offers a free tier starting at $15 per month for paid plans, but it cuts clips from long videos you already made rather than producing a sourced documentary.
<!-- faq -->Frequently asked questions
Does it read my interview on YouTube directly?
Yes. Paste the URL and the engine imports it with read-only access. The token is discarded after import and nothing is written back to your channel.
Will I get my interview back as short clips?
No. The output is one vertical documentary Short built from researched source material, archive footage, and narration. Your video supplies the subject, not the frames.
Do I need to upload any files?
No. The YouTube link is the entire input. Everything else, including the thumbnail and metadata, comes back in the download package.
Can I see where each shot came from?
Yes. Every render includes a media credit file listing the source of each clip, so you can verify the footage before publishing.
