Frequently Asked Questions
What is ByThen?
ByThen is an AI video producer for long-form content. It lets you generate storytelling videos in a single workflow. The platform includes scriptwriting, key visuals, storyboarding, voiceover, video generation, music, and timeline editing. Every project exports directly as an MP4 file.
Who is ByThen built for?
ByThen is built for content creators who make structured, narrator-led videos such as faceless YouTube videos, educational explainers, and narrative storytelling. It is especially useful for creators who currently rely on multiple AI tools and want one production workflow instead.
What kinds of videos can I create with ByThen?
You can create both short-form and long-form narrative videos from an idea, script, or text source. ByThen supports horizontal (16:9), vertical (9:16), and square (1:1) aspect ratios. This makes your content natively compatible with YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and traditional long-form platforms.
How does ByThen turn an idea into a video?
ByThen uses a guided, six-step production workflow to convert your text concept into a finalized video:
- Content Profile Setup: Select your video domain, niche, language, and preferred art style.
- Script Generation: Input a topic or text prompt to generate a full narrative script.
- Key Visual: Generate a reference hero image to lock in your project's visual style.
- Storyboard: Review and adjust the automated scene-by-scene storyboard layout.
- Video & Audio Generation: Generate video assets combined with synchronized AI voiceovers, music, and sound effects.
- Video Editor: Fine-tune timing, add visual overlays, and format text captions before exporting your MP4 file.
How long can my video be?
ByThen generates videos from 30 seconds up to 30 minutes long. Final projects can be edited and exported up to a maximum duration of 60 minutes. All videos export at a locked frame rate of 25 FPS with a fixed 720p resolution.
Can I edit the video before exporting?
Yes. ByThen includes a built-in multi-track video editor. You can trim, rearrange, or delete individual clips without regenerating the entire video project. The editor also lets you overlay your own uploaded media, adjust captions, and add sound effects.
Do I need video editing experience to use ByThen?
No. ByThen is designed for non-technical creators. The platform replaces complex editing tasks with intuitive style presets, voice libraries, and automated scene generation. You keep creative control without needing traditional production skills.
Is ByThen Free to use?
ByThen offers a limited Free Plan alongside paid subscriptions. It includes access to script, key visual, and storyboard generation with restricted video durations. This sandbox tier lets you experience the single workflow before upgrading.
Why should I upgrade to a higher Subscription plan?
Upgrading to a higher plan gives you more monthly credits at a lower cost per credit. Higher tiers unlock longer video runtime limits, expanded project storage, and premium generation features. If you run out of credits, top-up packages are also cheaper on higher plans.
Can AI Agents use ByThen?
Yes. ByThen features a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows AI agents like Claude (via Claude Desktop or Claude Code) to seamlessly generate, edit, and orchestrate long-form video content programmatically using natural language. It turns video production into a native capability for your AI workforce.
Is ByThen available on mobile?
ByThen is currently built for desktop browsers. Chrome is the primary supported browser, with Edge and Safari also supported. There is no mobile app and no offline mode at this time.
