Who it's for
Made for faceless channels
A faceless channel is a channel where the author never appears on camera. Viewers come for the story — a documentary about a Soviet space shuttle, a true-crime case, a top-10 list, a science explainer. The money comes from monetization: the platform shares its advertising revenue with you.
Shorts, TikTok and Reels
Vertical videos of 30–90 seconds for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
Channels in several languages
One topic, several audiences: a version of each video for another language, with its own voice and edit.
Complete beginners
No editing experience needed. You describe what you want in plain words; Kadr's AI knows how a good video is built.
How it works
Set it up once. Then just give topics.
You decide how your channel looks and sounds one time. After that, every video starts with a single message.
-
01
Create a channel profile
Choose the voice, editing style, templates, captions, music and length once. That's your channel's default brief — Kadr fills it into every new chat. 27 ready-made profiles help you start.
-
02
Give a topic or a script
“A 10-minute documentary about the An-225 Mriya.” Or paste your own script. That's the whole task.
-
03
The AI edits in full auto
It writes the script, records the voice-over, finds footage, adds motion graphics, captions and music, then checks its own work. Watch every step live — or go to sleep.
-
04
Review and render
Open the finished project, change anything by hand like in CapCut, and render. Footage credits and a ready YouTube description come with the file.
Speed and quality

Not a slideshow
Kadr edits like an editor: cuts on the beat, motion graphics from a designed system, captions that never cover the titles, music ducked under the voice and loudness ready for YouTube. Before it finishes, the AI runs a quality check on real frames and fixes what it finds.
Measured on one project on Claude Max ($200 per month). Your time depends on the video's length, the AI model and your computer.
What's inside
Everything a faceless channel needs, in one app

Limits meter
See how much of your Claude or ChatGPT limits each video used — per run, per project, with a forecast.
Quality check
Finds unreadable text, gaps, overlaps and broken channel rules on real frames — and fixes them.
- All text is readable
- Caption covered a title — moved
- Clip too short — extended
Localisation with a new edit
One request — a new video for a new audience
Ask Kadr for another language, and in about 15 minutes you get a full version: a new voice-over, translated captions, titles and maps. If you want, it also makes its own edit with different footage — a separate video made for viewers in that country.
- A new voice in the new language
- Translated captions, titles, maps and templates
- Optional: its own edit, footage and pacing
- The channel profile for that language applies
Each version is made for its audience: viewers get a video in their own language, edited for them — not a copy with a new soundtrack.
Keep your monetization
Built for the platforms' rules, not against them
YouTube, TikTok and Facebook don't pay for mass-produced, repetitive or reused content. Kadr is built so that every video is your own work.
Its own script
The AI researches and writes original narration for every video instead of reading out someone else's.
Safe YouTube editing
A brief mode with strict rules: no found clip stays on screen more than about 5 seconds without a visible change, your commentary and graphics over the footage, licensed music only.
Rights report and credits
Every piece of footage keeps its source and licence; a credits file is written next to the export.
Watermark cover
Finds logos, timecodes and burned-in subtitles in found footage and covers them neatly.
Hard rules per channel
Banned words, source limits, no repeats — the AI must follow them, and the quality check verifies them.
The platforms' rules still apply to you. Kadr helps you follow them, but no tool can guarantee monetization.
Examples
Videos edited in Kadr
Documentaries, a trailer, Shorts and true crime — in Ukrainian, Russian and Italian. Every one was edited by Kadr's AI.
Earnings
What could your channels earn?
Pick a scenario and change any number. The scenarios are examples to start from, not promises: real results depend on your niche, your audience's country, quality and consistency.
Two channels with long videos, Shorts, TikTok and Facebook.
Channels
| Platform | Videos a week per channel | Average views per video | RPM, $ per 1,000 views | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Sources and assumptions
Each video's views are counted in the month it's published; a month has 4.33 weeks. In reality views arrive over weeks and months.
RPM is what you receive per 1,000 views after the platform's share (YouTube keeps 45 % on long videos and 55 % on Shorts). It depends heavily on the niche and the audience's country.
Ranges reported for 2025–2026 and what the scenarios use:
| Platform | Reported range per 1,000 views | Careful / average / ambitious |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube long videos | $2–$35 | $3.5 / $5 / $6 |
| YouTube Shorts | $0.01–$0.33 | $0.04 / $0.05 / $0.07 |
| TikTok Creator Rewards | $0.40–$1 | $0.40 / $0.60 / $0.80 |
| Facebook Content Monetization | $0.02–$0.20 | — / $0.10 / $0.15 |
| Snapchat | no public rate (≈ $0.05–$0.30) | — / — / — |
| no regular per-view payouts | — / — / — |
Checked on October 23, 2026. Blogs and creators' reports disagree a lot — treat every number as a rough guide and check your own dashboard.

What it costs
The honest total
Three things — and only the first one is Kadr.
Kadr licence
$149.99 per month, less with longer plans. Every feature and every update included.
An AI subscription — or API keys
Kadr's AI runs on your own account: Claude (Pro $20, Max $100 or $200 per month), ChatGPT with Codex (Plus $20 or Pro), or your own API keys, where you pay only for what you use.
Voices — optional
Free voices are built in. Paid providers like ElevenLabs bill you directly, and only if you choose them.
How many videos fit in a subscription?
Estimates for a 14-minute documentary like «Buran». estimate
| Plan | Price per month | New long videos a week | Language versions a week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Pro | $20 | about 2 | about 4 |
| Claude Max 5× | $100 | about 10 | about 20 |
| Claude Max 20×measured | $200 | about 40 | about 80 |
| ChatGPT Plus (Codex) | $20 | not measured yet | not measured yet |
| ChatGPT Pro (Codex) | $200 | not measured yet | not measured yet |
| Your own API keys | pay per use | — | — |
Measured on Claude Max 20× ($200): the first video took ≈ 10 % of the 5-hour window and ≈ 2 % of the weekly limit; a translation ≈ 6–7 % and ≈ 1 %. The other Claude plans are scaled by Anthropic's multipliers (Max 5× = 5 × Pro, Max 20× = 20 × Pro). On Pro a long video spans several 5-hour windows — Kadr waits for the reset and continues by itself. Shorts use far less. ChatGPT plans are not measured yet. Kadr's limits meter shows your real numbers after the first video.
Our recommendation
The best results today: Claude Code with Opus 5.5, or Codex with OpenAI's top models. Starting with one or two channels? Claude Max 5× is a comfortable balance.
Honest minuses
What Kadr is not
Automation, not magic
The first video in a new niche rarely comes out perfect. Expect to experiment with settings, profiles and prompts for a few videos.
Beta software
Kadr is updated often. Glitches and crashes can happen; they get fixed fast, and you can report a bug from inside the app in two clicks.
Needs a decent computer
Windows or macOS. A graphics card (GPU) is recommended for fast rendering.
The platforms' rules are yours
Kadr helps you make original videos, but you are responsible for what you publish.
Two subscriptions
Besides Kadr you need an AI subscription or API credit. The full cost is shown above.

FAQ
Questions and answers
Do I need editing experience?
No. You describe what you want in plain words, and Kadr's AI knows how a good video is built — pacing, graphics, captions, sound. You can still change anything by hand: the editor works like CapCut.
Which AI do I need?
One of: a Claude subscription (Pro, Max 5× or Max 20×) used through Claude Code, a ChatGPT subscription with Codex, or your own API keys from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and other providers. Kadr connects it in a few clicks. The best results today come from Claude Code with Opus 5.5 or Codex with OpenAI's top models.
Is Claude or ChatGPT included in the price?
No. Kadr runs on your own subscription or API keys. That's why there are no Kadr "credits" to run out of, and your AI usage stays on your own account. The full cost is in What it costs.
What computer do I need?
A 64-bit Windows PC or a Mac. A graphics card (GPU) is recommended: Kadr renders on the GPU and falls back to the processor automatically. The AI part runs on your subscription in the cloud, so it doesn't need a powerful computer — rendering and local speech recognition do.
In which languages can my videos be?
Voice-over and captions in dozens of languages, depending on the voice provider; local speech recognition covers 25 European languages. Kadr's interface is available in 12 languages.
Will I make money with Kadr?
Kadr is a tool: it makes producing videos fast and affordable. Earnings depend on your niche, audience, consistency and the platforms' rules. Use the calculator as an estimate, not a promise.
Do platforms demonetize AI videos?
Platforms don't ban AI tools; they don't pay for mass-produced, repetitive or reused content. Kadr writes original scripts, credits its sources and has a Safe YouTube editing mode — but you are responsible for what you publish.
How does the trial work?
Two weeks of the full app for $49.99, for your first purchase only. After that you choose 1, 3, 6 or 12 months.
Why are there no refunds?
A licence is activated instantly and can't be returned like a physical product. The cheap 2-week trial is there so you can check everything first. See the refunds policy.
How do I pay?
Press «Write in Telegram». The seller tells you the available payment methods, takes the payment and sends your activation code and the installer.
Do my videos and keys leave my computer?
Your projects stay on your computer. API keys are kept in a vault encrypted by your operating system. Kadr sends data to an AI or voice provider only after you connect one.
Can I use Kadr on two computers?
One licence is for one computer. For a second one, ask the seller. You can also earn one for free through the referral programme.
Does Kadr work without the internet?
The editor works offline, with free local voices and speech recognition. AI editing, the footage finder and cloud voices need the internet, and the licence checks in from time to time.
Are updates included?
Yes. Kadr finds signed updates by itself and installs them in one click, for as long as your licence is active.
Your next video could be editing itself tonight
Start with the 2-week trial. If Kadr isn't for you, you've spent $49.99, not a month's licence.
