YouTube Shorts is printing money for channels that post daily. You cannot post daily because each video takes 4 hours.

## FAQ

### Is $0.11 per video really the real cost?

It is, for the default config: Gemini Flash for script, ElevenLabs Flash voice, stock visuals via Pexels, 30-45 second runtime. Switching to ElevenLabs premium voices pushes per-video cost to about $0.40. The cost breakdown doc shows every line item.

### Will my YouTube channel get banned for automated uploads?

Not for using the YouTube Data API correctly with one channel and reasonable cadence (2-6 videos/day max). Mass-posting from multiple accounts is what triggers bans. The pipeline is built for one disciplined channel, not a spam farm.

### What if I do not want to use my voice for visuals?

You do not — the default uses Pexels and Pixabay stock with motion overlays. Optional D-ID avatar integration is included if you want a synthetic talking head. Custom face uploads are not in v1.

### How much daily volume can it actually handle?

On a standard machine with stable internet, the pipeline produces around 8-12 Shorts per hour end-to-end including upload. Daily volume is bottlenecked by your API quotas, not the script. Most operators settle at 4-6 published per day.

### What niches work best?

Educational explainers, list videos, "did you know" facts, and curated news work great. Original storytelling and personality-driven channels do not — those need a human voice and face. The doc has a niche fit checklist.
