Scena Studio covers shared API use at the start of the Open Test on enabled services and sets no per-user quota on that usage. Provider rate limits and availability apply. Once shared access ends, you must use your own API keys. Your provider may charge for usage on your own keys. Anti-abuse rules apply, and no card is required for shared access. Post-test software plans are separate.

Monetization, Copyright & Short-Clip Stitching FAQs

Four critical questions from YouTube YPP & Meta Reels series creators

1. Does Scena Studio check for Trademark (TM) logos and Copyright risks before I upload?

Yes, locally on your GPU. Before exporting your master MP4, the Pre-Flight TM & Copyright Shield scans frames for accidentally hallucinated brand logos, third-party watermarks, and copyrighted IP silhouettes, and checks audio stems so your video passes YouTube Content ID and Meta Rights Manager cleanly.

2. How does the app stitch 5–8 second clips together without jump cuts or character drift?

Automatic Last-Frame-to-First-Frame chaining + FFmpeg assembly. Scena Studio extracts the final frame of Shot N (`frame_last.png`) and passes it as the opening frame of Shot N+1 alongside your `{character:CODE}` lock, then stitches all approved shots at 24fps with `-3dB` audio crossfades.

3. Can episodes made with Scena Studio get monetized on YouTube YPP and Meta Reels?

Yes — when they have a narrative script, locked characters, and human direction. YouTube’s 2026 policy targets mass-produced, unedited spam. Scena Studio exports a timestamped Human-Direction Originality Audit Log documenting your script breakdown, reference locks, multi-model routing, and manual approvals to pass YPP & Meta monetization review.

4. Can I export both 16:9 YouTube and 9:16 vertical Reels/Shorts from the same project?

Yes, without paying twice for API renders. Local GPU face tracking automatically pans and reframes your 16:9 4K master into a 9:16 vertical cut that keeps the speaking character centered, complete with safe-zone burned-in captions.
