Free creative tools. Membership for the production toolkit. Yours to leave any time.
Three apps. One lifecycle. From the first rundown row to the last graphic — Frame holds your production pipeline. No file lives on our site; everything lives where you work.
The rundown that drives your show floor.
Twenty columns of production data — segment, type, talent, and every department cue. Build your show in the Excel-compatible grid. Run it live with your whole crew on one screen, watching one clock. Every minute drives an action. Invite-only views. Your .xlsx stays in your Drive.
Open Next →A teleprompter that respects your script.
Paste, import, or scroll. Operator drives, talent reads — both on the same Ably channel, in real time. Save the script back to your Drive when the take wraps, or close without a trace. Your words stay yours.
Open Just Read It →Four tools for the edit.
Kinetic type, lower-thirds, animated backgrounds, pop animations. Render in-browser. Drop into Resolve or Premiere. Each tool exists because the plugin alternative didn't.
Open Cue →Kinetic type, lower-thirds, animated backgrounds, pop animations, and stream-graphics kits for OBS. Open it and make something — no account, no card, no watermark. We’re never going to charge for it.
No account needed. Sign in only to save your work + get the newsletter.
Just Read It (teleprompter) and Next (live rundown) are part of Starting Frame Membership — $24/month with a 14-day free trial. One membership, one shop. Yours to leave any time.
Starting Frame builds production tools that don't lock you in. Your files live in your cloud — Google Drive, OneDrive, your machine — never on our servers. We hold the connection between you and your tools, nothing more.
Twenty years producing video — agency, brand, broadcast. PGA member. Brian builds Frame's apps for the producers, ADs, and operators doing the same work he does — the tools he wished he had on his own show floors.
