Video start

From a spoken idea
to a book section.

Start from a video and VidBook turns what you said into a section your reader can come back to.

Original sample transcript

The idea, as spoken

"Before I plan the week, I put all the loose ends on one page. The client email, the lesson I haven't finished, the idea I don't want to lose. Then I ask: if only one thing moved forward this week, what would matter? I make the next action small enough to put on my calendar. And I leave some space, because the week never goes exactly to plan."
SampleVidBook / 01

The Weekly Reset

Make room for the work that matters.

Chapter 02

Choose one useful outcome

Ask yourself: if only one thing moved forward this week, what would matter? Name a result you can recognize, then choose the next action that would move it closer.

Cancel anytime · Refund policy

Ch. 05FAQ

Questions, answered.

  1. 01Can I request a refund?

    Refund requests are reviewed individually by VidBook's owner. There is no automatic approval or refund guarantee. Canceling a subscription stops future renewals at the end of the current paid period. It does not issue a refund or restore books already used. To request a review of a plan payment, sign in and open Billing to use the refund-review request form for a verified invoice. If the form is unavailable, email apexmartindia@gmail.com. Submitting a request does not cancel your subscription or issue a refund. Unused books in a book pack (3 books for $15) can be refunded after the same review: email apexmartindia@gmail.com from the address on your account and say which pack. A refunded or disputed pack loses all of its unused books, and the books already started from it stop getting their included work. This applies to a partial refund too. This policy does not limit any statutory rights that apply to you.

  2. 02Which sources can I use?

    Paste a YouTube link, upload the caption file (.srt or .vtt) you download from YouTube Studio, paste a transcript or notes, or upload a .txt, DOCX or PDF file with selectable text. You can also start from a book idea or the guided setup, and VidBook writes the book from an AI research brief. Confirm you own the material or have permission to reuse it.

  3. 03What happens when I paste a YouTube link?

    VidBook imports the video's captions as your transcript. It uses captions written by the creator in the video's own language first, otherwise the auto-generated captions. It never uses machine-translated captions. If YouTube is busy or the video has no captions, paid plans have VidBook transcribe the video with AI (Google Gemini through OpenRouter) instead. The book uses 1 of your books, which is returned if the import fails, and videos can be up to 3 hours long. A YouTube link does not work for private, removed or age-restricted videos or live streams. VidBook does not transcribe uploaded video or audio files; use a caption file, transcript or notes instead. You confirm that you own the video or have permission to adapt it.

  4. 04How is VidBook priced?

    Plans are priced in books. Starting a book uses 1 of your books; a coloring book uses 3. The free plan includes 1 complete book, once; Starter, Creator and Pro include 5, 15 and 40 books a month. Each book comes with its own included work: a research brief, an outline, up to 14 chapters (8 on the free plan), 6 chapter regenerations (1 on the free plan), passage rewrites, KDP-ready PDF, EPUB and DOCX files and a listing kit. Paid plans add 3 AI cover tries per book, coloring books and AI transcription of videos without captions.

  5. 05Does VidBook publish my book to Amazon?

    No. VidBook does not submit books to Amazon or any other store. You upload the files yourself. The listing kit and compliance review help you prepare. Store acceptance and sales are not guaranteed.

  6. 06Can VidBook make a cover?

    Yes, on paid plans. Each book includes 3 AI front cover tries, and covers never show people or animals. Once you choose a front cover, the full-wrap paperback cover PDF with spine and back is free. Check it against your printer's current cover requirements before upload.

  7. 07What is Market Scout?

    Market Scout suggests market opportunities: book topics with AI-estimated scores for demand, buyer need, competition and originality. You can pick a category or describe a niche, and each scan reads a few live web search results and lists them as sources. The scores are estimates from an AI model, not Amazon sales data, and they do not predict earnings. Market Scout scans do not use books: free accounts get 3 scans in total and paid plans 10, 30 or 80 scans a month (Starter, Creator, Pro), up to 5 a day. Building a book from a pick uses 1 book.

  8. 08Can I make a coloring book?

    Yes, on paid plans. Choose kids or adults, a style such as patterns, botanicals, geometric shapes, landscapes and buildings, objects or food, and a length of 16, 24 or 30 pages. A coloring book uses 3 of your books and includes all its pages and 3 cover tries. Pages never show people or animals, and the book downloads as an 8.5 x 11 inch print PDF.

  9. 09Is there content VidBook will not help create?

    Yes. VidBook does not help create books that promote or normalize alcohol, drugs, tobacco or vaping, sexual or immodest content, music or nightlife, gambling, interest-based finance, magic, astrology or the occult, or mockery of religion. Neutral or cautionary mentions are fine. Generated images never show people or animals. The full rule is on the content policy page at /content-policy. Read the content policy

  10. 10Can VidBook invent facts that are not in the video?

    It can. Assigning transcript chunks to each chapter reduces unsupported additions, but no generative model can guarantee zero hallucinations. Compare important claims and quotations with the source video before publishing, and edit anything that changes the speaker's meaning.

  11. 11How long does a book take to generate?

    Generation time depends on transcript length, chapter count, model availability and retries. The dashboard shows each pipeline stage while the server-side job runs. Treat the result as a first draft and budget additional time for fact checking, permissions, editing and export review.

  12. 12Can I edit the manuscript after generation?

    Yes. You can edit generated chapters in the in-app editor and use AI rewrite controls on selected passages. Each book includes 6 chapter regenerations (1 on the free book). Review suggested changes before saving them, then check the manuscript preview and the actual exported file. Rewrite duration depends on the request and provider availability.

  13. 13What about copyright when converting a YouTube video to a book?

    VidBook is a tool. You are responsible for the source material you feed it and the book you publish. Most creators use their own videos, which is the safest path. If you use someone else's content, get permission or rely on fair-use principles you have actually verified with a lawyer.

  14. 14Do unused books roll over month to month?

    No. Paid plans include a set number of books each billing month, and unused plan books do not carry over. Book pack books are different: they never expire. The free book is a one-time signup allowance. Use Manage billing to see available subscription options and check the price and timing before confirming a change.

  15. 15What is a book pack?

    A book pack is 3 more books for $15, bought in a one-off payment and available to subscribers only. Pack books never expire and stay usable after you cancel your plan. Your plan's books are used first. A coloring book needs 3 books from your plan or from a single pack. Buy a pack on the Billing page. Unused books in a book pack (3 books for $15) can be refunded after the same review: email apexmartindia@gmail.com from the address on your account and say which pack. A refunded or disputed pack loses all of its unused books, and the books already started from it stop getting their included work. This applies to a partial refund too.

  16. 16Which export formats are supported for KDP and other stores?

    Books export as a print PDF interior in 6 x 9, 5.5 x 8.5, A5 or 8.5 x 11 inch trims, as EPUB and as DOCX. Exports are included and never use a book. Print requirements vary with page count, bleed, images and cover choices, so review the PDF in Amazon's Print Previewer and correct any reported issue before publication.

  17. 17What is the difference between VidBook and ChatGPT or Claude for writing a book?

    VidBook packages source intake, outlining, source-based chapter drafting, editing, covers, a listing kit and file export in one workflow. A general-purpose chat tool is another way to draft and revise text. Pick the one that fits your inputs and editing process. With either, you still check facts, permissions and publishing files.
