FAQ
What does the chapter generator do?
It turns your video into copy-paste-ready YouTube chapters: timestamped sections with clear labels you can paste straight into your description.
Why do chapters matter?
Chapters improve watch time by helping viewers jump to what they want, they add keyword-rich text to your description for SEO, and they can surface as key moments in Google and YouTube search.
Does my video need captions?
Yes. The tool reads the video transcript to find natural section breaks and timestamps. Most uploads have YouTube auto-captions, so the majority will work. A video with no captions at all will return an error.
How accurate are the timestamps?
They are based on the transcript timing, so they are close but worth a quick check before posting. Adjust any that land a few seconds off, especially around intros and transitions.
How many videos can I process per day?
Up to 5 per day on the free tier, no signup needed. ChannelGrade's paid plans remove the cap and add full video grading on top of chapter generation.
