AI agent
An AI that doesn't just answer but takes actions with tools, step by step, until the task is done.
ExampleKadr's AI agent searches footage, adds clips and checks the result by itself.
Glossary
Every term on this site, in plain words and with an example.
API
A way for programs to talk to each other. AI providers offer APIs that you pay for per use, without a monthly subscription.
ExampleKadr sends your request to Anthropic's API and receives the AI's answer.
API key
A secret password-like string that lets a program use a provider's API on your account. Usage is billed to you.
ExampleYou paste your OpenAI API key into Kadr; it's stored encrypted and never shown again.
Aspect ratio
The shape of the video: width to height.
Example16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels.
Brief
The short set of choices a video starts with: format, voice, language, templates, captions, music, length, editing style. A channel profile fills it in by default.
Example16:9 · calm narrator · English · captions on · 8–10 minutes.
Captions
Text of the speech on screen. They help viewers who watch without sound and keep attention.
ExampleWords highlighted one by one as the narrator says them.
Channel profile
Saved settings and rules for one channel: genre, voice, format, templates, music, captions, banned words, source preferences and a default brief.
ExampleA profile called “History documentaries” used for every video of that channel.
Claude Code
Anthropic's AI agent. It works with a Claude subscription (Pro or Max) or an API key, and Kadr gives it all of its editing tools.
ExampleYou sign in to Claude Code once; then Kadr uses your Claude Max subscription to edit videos.
Codex
OpenAI's AI agent, included with ChatGPT subscriptions (Plus, Pro). Kadr can edit with it the same way as with Claude Code.
ExampleA ChatGPT Pro user picks Codex in Kadr's model menu.
CPM
Cost per mille: what advertisers pay for 1,000 ad impressions. It's always higher than your RPM, because the platform takes its share and not every view shows an ad.
ExampleA finance video may have a CPM of $20 but an RPM of $8.
Credits
The list of who made the footage, music or data you used. Many licences require it, usually in the video description.
Example“Footage: NASA (public domain); map borders: Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0).”
Editing style
A preset of how a video is cut: pace, transitions, camera moves, graphics, sound and colour.
Example“Cinematic documentary” uses slow pushes and long dissolves; “Fast Shorts” cuts every second.
Facebook Content Monetization
Meta's programme that pays for reels, longer videos, stories and posts on Facebook. Access is by invitation; creators can express interest in the app.
ExampleA history page earns from its reels after being invited.
Faceless channel
A channel where the author never appears on camera. The video is built from narration, footage, graphics and music.
ExampleA history channel that tells the story of the An-225 with a voice-over, archive footage and animated maps.
Footage
Video clips and photos used in your video, often from archives, stock sites or platforms.
ExampleArchive film of the first An-225 flight from 1988.
Full auto
The mode where Kadr's AI runs everything without asking for approval. Only actions reserved for you (keys, settings) and your daily spending limit stop it.
ExampleYou send a topic at night and find a finished project in the morning.
Fusion
The motion-graphics part of DaVinci Resolve. Kadr imports Fusion titles and templates (.setting, .comp, .drfx).
ExampleA title you bought for Resolve becomes editable in Kadr.
GPU
The graphics card. Kadr uses it to draw every frame and to render much faster than the processor alone.
ExampleAn NVIDIA, AMD, Intel or Apple graphics chip.
Licence and activation code
The right to use Kadr for the period you paid for. The seller sends a code; you enter it in Kadr once.
ExampleA 3-month licence activated on your PC.
Localisation
Making a version of a video for another language and audience: new voice, translated captions and graphics, and if you want, its own edit.
Example«Buran» in Ukrainian, Russian and Italian.
Lottie
A file format for animations exported from Adobe After Effects. Kadr imports Lottie files as editable templates.
ExampleAn animated icon from a designer becomes a Kadr template.
Monetization
Earning money from a channel. Usually the platform shows ads and shares part of the revenue with you; it starts only after the channel meets the platform's thresholds.
ExampleAfter joining the YouTube Partner Program, a channel receives part of the ad money from every view.
Motion graphics
Animated text, shapes, maps and charts added over or between the footage.
ExampleA counter that rolls up to “250 tonnes” while the narrator says it.
Niche
The topic a channel is about. It decides who watches and how much advertisers pay.
ExampleAviation history, true crime, personal finance, top-10 lists.
Qualified views
The views a platform actually pays for. Each platform has its own rules, such as a minimum watch time.
ExampleOn TikTok, a 1-million-view video may have only half a million qualified views.
Quality check
Kadr's automatic review of a project on real frames: unreadable text, gaps, overlaps, sound, broken channel rules.
ExampleIt finds a caption covering a title and moves it.
Referral code
Your personal code. When a friend activates Kadr with it, you both get extra days.
ExampleYour friend enters your code MAXFILM when activating Kadr, and you both get bonus days.
Render (export)
Turning the project into a finished video file you can upload.
ExampleA 14-minute 1080p video rendered to MP4 on the graphics card.
Reused content
Videos made mostly of other people's material, or many near-identical videos. Platforms don't pay for them. Original narration, your own structure and graphics make a video your own work.
ExampleA compilation of movie clips with music and no commentary is reused content.
Rights report
Kadr's report of where each clip came from, under which licence, and where it's used on the timeline.
ExampleIt shows that a clip is public domain and a photo needs a credit.
RPM
Revenue per mille: what you actually receive for 1,000 views, after the platform's share. The most useful number for planning.
Example100,000 views at an RPM of $5 = $500.
Shorts
YouTube's vertical videos up to 3 minutes. They pay far less per view than long videos but bring many views and new subscribers.
ExampleA 45-second “Top 10 inventors” video in 9:16.
STT (speech to text)
Turning speech into text: used for captions and for dictating requests to the AI.
ExampleYou say your request into the microphone, and it appears in the chat.
Subscription limits
Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions allow a certain amount of AI work per 5-hour window and per week. When the 5-hour window runs out, you wait for the reset.
ExampleA video used 10 % of the 5-hour window and 2 % of the weekly limit; Kadr's limits meter shows it.
Template
A ready-made animated graphic you fill with your text and media: a title, a lower third, a map, an infographic, a transition.
ExampleA lower third that shows a person's name and role for 4 seconds.
TikTok Creator Rewards
TikTok’s programme that pays for qualified views of videos longer than 1 minute, in selected countries. It needs 10,000 followers and 100,000 views in the last 30 days.
ExampleA 70-second science video earns from its qualified views.
TTS (text to speech)
Turning text into a spoken voice-over with an AI voice.
ExampleYour script is read by a calm English narrator from ElevenLabs.
Watermark
A logo, timecode or burned-in subtitle on someone else's footage. Kadr can find and cover it.
ExampleA TV channel logo in the corner of an archive clip, covered with a blur.
YouTube Partner Program (YPP)
YouTube's programme that shares ad revenue with creators. For ad revenue a channel needs 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 watch hours in 12 months, or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days.
ExampleA documentary channel joins the YPP in its fourth month and starts earning from ads.
