YouTube Shorts Script Generator

Create a concise vertical-video script with spoken lines, on-screen text and visual direction for every section.

Plan your Short

Sample values: The values below are examples to demonstrate the tool. Replace them with details from your own project before using the result.

Everything runs in this browser. Your inputs are not uploaded or saved.

Make every second useful

Show the result first

Give the viewer an immediate visual reason to stay before explaining the process.

One idea only

A Short should deliver one clear takeaway rather than compressing an entire tutorial.

Use real proof

Show the actual process or result and remove claims you cannot demonstrate.

Frequently asked questions

Is the timing exact?

It is a pacing guide. Read the script aloud and shorten any section that feels rushed.

Can I use this for TikTok or Reels?

Yes. Review each platform’s current format and disclosure requirements before publishing.

Does this tool create the video?

No. It creates the script, screen text and shot direction. Use the linked visual prompt tool for AI-generated scenes.

Run a timed read-through before recording

For a 15-second Short about desk cables, the default outline divides time into hook, context, value, proof and CTA. The sample below shows the pacing shape; it is not a claim that the sample is a finished script.

Time at 15 secViewer needsProduction check
0–3 secSee the finished desk and know the taskPut the result on screen immediately
3–5 secIdentify the cable issue shown in the footageUse one visual, not a long explanation
5–11 secLearn one routing actionShow the hands and cable clearly
11–14 secSee the actual before/after proofKeep camera framing comparable
14–15 secGet one relevant next stepRemove CTA if it cannot be read in time

Read every line aloud with a timer. If the proof and CTA feel rushed, choose a longer duration or remove a beat; do not accelerate speech to preserve every sentence.

Captured output

YOUTUBE SHORTS SCRIPT · 15 SECONDS
Tone: fast and practical · Audience: home workers

0–3s · HOOK
SAY: “Working on organizing a small desk? Here’s one step toward keep pens within reach.”
ON SCREEN: One step toward keep pens within reach
VISUAL: Show the finished result immediately.

3–5s · CONTEXT
SAY: “Name the part of organizing a small desk that matters for this outcome.”
ON SCREEN: Start with one useful result
VISUAL: Show one real step that supports the outcome; do not label another approach as a problem unless your footage supports that description.

5–11s · VALUE
SAY: “Collect the pens in one tray. Place it beside the notebook. Compare the same desk from above.”
ON SCREEN: Choose one action · Check the result
VISUAL: Demonstrate each step with organizing a small desk.

11–14s · PROOF
SAY: “Here’s what I can show: the same desk filmed before and after.”
ON SCREEN: Show the real proof
VISUAL: Use an actual screen, object, process or result—not a generic claim.

14–15s · CTA
SAY: “If this helps, save the setup checklist.”
ON SCREEN: save the setup checklist
VISUAL: Hold the final result long enough to read.

RECORDING CHECK
Use short spoken sentences. Verify every claim and remove any result you cannot demonstrate.

What the result shows

The action input now carries the actual steps instead of a generic instruction to choose an action. The word estimate exposes overly short slots.

What to change before publishing

Read the spoken lines aloud before recording. The on-screen directions are production notes, not narration. If the draft runs long, cut context before cutting the demonstration.
