How it works
A video script is not an essay; it is spoken word with a structure that fights drop-off. The generator writes ONE complete script in that shape. A [HOOK] for the first five seconds: a claim, question, or payoff preview, never "hey guys, welcome back". A short [INTRO] that names who the video is for and what it promises. Three to six [SECTION] blocks that each carry one point with concrete examples. A woven-in [CTA]. And an [OUTRO] that lands the takeaway and points somewhere next. Sparse (ON SCREEN: ...) lines mark where a text overlay or b-roll belongs.
The length control sizes the words to the runtime at a natural speaking pace of about 150 words a minute. A Short gets 90 to 150 words of pure voiceover. A 5-minute video gets 650 to 800 words, and a 10-minute video 1300 to 1600. The note under the script states its approximate word count and spoken duration, plus a title suggestion. Tones range from conversational to calm-teacher to storytelling. Generate more writes a second script with a different structure and angle rather than a paraphrase of the first.
Package the finished video with the Title Generator, Description Generator, and Tag Generator; if the idea itself is still open, start at the Video Ideas Generator.
Free, no signup. Each generation draws a small amount from your shared daily AI allowance, shown by the quota chip. Paid plans get a larger daily allowance for heavier sessions.
What you will see
- [HOOK]
- The first five seconds, where most viewers are won or lost; a claim, question, or preview of the payoff.
- [SECTION: name]
- One point per section, with examples; the section names double as chapter candidates.
- (ON SCREEN: ...)
- A cue for a visual: text overlay, b-roll, screenshot; used sparingly where it earns its place.
- [CTA]
- One ask (subscribe, comment, the link), placed where it does not break the flow.
- Video length
- Short (30-60 s), about 5 minutes, or about 10 minutes; the word budget follows at about 150 words a minute.
- Note line
- The approximate word count and spoken duration, plus a title suggestion.
- Generate more
- Writes a fresh script with a different structure, not a paraphrase.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a YouTube script for a 5 or 10 minute video?
At a natural speaking pace of roughly 150 words a minute, a 5-minute video needs about 650 to 800 words. A 10-minute video needs about 1300 to 1600. A 30-to-60-second Short runs 90 to 150 words. The length control writes to those budgets, and the note under the script states the word count and estimated spoken duration so you can trim before recording.
What structure should a YouTube script follow?
Hook, intro, sections, CTA, outro. The hook carries the first five seconds and decides most of the retention curve. The intro names the promise in two or three sentences. Each section makes one point with a concrete example. The call to action asks for one thing. The outro lands the takeaway and hands viewers somewhere to go next. The generator writes exactly that shape with bracketed markers you can see at a glance.
Why does the hook matter so much?
Because the audience retention graph cliff-dives in the first thirty seconds, and the steepest part is the first five. A hook that restates the title wastes them; a hook that shows the payoff, makes a claim, or opens a question buys the intro time to work. That is why the scripts here never open with a greeting; the first line is the hook itself.
What are the (ON SCREEN: ...) cues?
Editing notes inside the script marking where a visual belongs: a text overlay for a key number, b-roll for a step, a screenshot for a claim. They keep the edit honest to the script without storyboarding separately, and they are cheap to delete if you record talking-head only.
Can it write a script for a YouTube Short?
Yes; pick the Short length. Shorts scripts skip the intro block entirely: the hook is the first line, the body is one idea told fast, and the ending loops or lands a single beat. Ninety to 150 words fills 30 to 60 seconds; anything longer gets cut off by your own pacing.
Will the script sound like me?
It will sound like the tone you pick (conversational, energetic, calm teacher, storytelling, professional), written in short spoken-word sentences with contractions. For a closer match, put a line about your style in the optional field, such as "dry humour, no hype" or "I always open with a story". Then edit the hook in your own words. The hook is the one part that pays to rewrite yourself.
Does it use my footage, channel, or analytics?
No. It writes from the description you type and never connects to your channel. Facts it cannot know (your product's numbers, personal stories) are left as clearly-marked places to fill rather than invented, so read the script once before recording.
Is the YouTube script generator free?
Yes, free with no signup. Scripts draw from a shared daily AI allowance shown by the quota chip; signing in on a paid Keywords Everywhere plan raises it. Every plan has a cap; higher tiers get a higher one.
