Video chapter generator
Chapters are the navigation layer of a long video. FrameOS reads the transcript, identifies where topics shift, and writes a chapter list with timestamps — formatted for the YouTube description box so skip-points appear in the progress bar.
Why chapters matter for long-form video
A viewer landing on a 60-minute podcast wants to know whether the ten minutes they care about is in the first half or the last quarter. Chapters answer that before they commit to watching. They also help YouTube understand what the video covers, which can improve how it surfaces for specific queries.
Topic breaks, not time breaks
A chapter that cuts every five minutes is a timestamp list, not a chapter list. FrameOS identifies where the conversation genuinely shifts — from setup to main argument, from problem to solution, from one guest topic to the next — and marks the boundary there. Chapter labels describe real segments rather than arbitrary intervals.
Copy-paste ready for the description
The output is a timestamped chapter list in the 00:00 Introduction format that triggers YouTube's chapter UI. Paste it into the description, and the progress bar gets skip-points.
Chapter workflow
- Transcript-based topic detection.

FAQ
Can FrameOS generate chapters for YouTube videos?
Yes — it reads the transcript, identifies where topics shift, and produces a timestamped chapter list in the format YouTube needs to show skip-points.
How do YouTube chapters work?
Add timestamps in the format 00:00 Label (at least three, starting at 00:00) to the video description, and YouTube adds chapter markers to the progress bar.
Can I edit the chapters?
Yes — the chapter list is editable text. Adjust any label or timestamp before pasting to YouTube.
