Common questions.
- Are Starting Frame's Cue tools free?
- Yes. Every Cue tool is free — no watermark and no credit card, ever. You sign in once (Google, Microsoft, or email), which also adds you to our newsletter; then use everything free. The creative tools are free forever.
- Do I need an account or to sign up?
- One quick sign-in — Google, Microsoft, or email. It's free, it adds you to our newsletter, and it saves your work across sessions. Every Cue tool stays free; the sign-in is the door, not a paywall.
- Is there a watermark on what I export?
- No. Starting Frame never burns a watermark into your exports — not on the free tools, not anywhere.
- Can I export transparent (alpha) video?
- Yes. Cue tools export transparent VP9
.webmwith a real alpha channel, so you can drop overlays straight into OBS, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve. - Does it work for streamers and OBS?
- Yes — Cue's tools export transparent overlays you can drop into any OBS stream. For full stream screens — Starting Soon, BRB, Live, and Ending — that's Scene, Starting Frame's free stream-graphics tool.
- What does Starting Frame cost?
- The creative tools are free. A $24/month membership adds the production tools — Just Read It (teleprompter) and Next (live run-of-show).
