// Frequently asked questions

Q01What does the outline include?

Three distinct opening hook options to pick from, then 4–7 sections - each with concrete talking-point beats and a retention checkpoint tactic. Every section also shows an estimated word budget so you know how long to write each part.

Q02How are the word budgets calculated?

Spoken narration averages about 150 words per minute, so a 10-minute video is roughly 1,500 words. That total is distributed across the sections - evenly for top-10 and explainer formats, and weighted toward the body (lighter intro and outro) for documentaries.

Q03Which format should I choose?

Documentary suits deep-dive storytelling with a strong narrative arc. Top-10 / listicle works for ranked, snackable content that is easy to script and edit. Explainer is best for teaching a single concept clearly. The format changes both the section structure and how words are budgeted.

Q04Do I need an API key?

Yes - outline generation runs on Claude with your own Anthropic key (BYOK). Your key is stored only in your browser and sent only to Anthropic; we never see it, and each outline costs you a fraction of a cent.
