Creating Your Script
1. Start with an idea
Type a topic or working title related to your video.
Example: How Marvel Rivals characters rank in Season 2 or Why I almost quit YouTube (and what changed everything).
2. Choose your script length
Select how long you want your video to be. Options include 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes.
💡 Creating a Short? The Script Writer is best suited for long-form videos — but you can write a 1-minute version manually or trim down a 5-minute script to fit.
3. Set your script tone
You can either select from our built-in tones or write your own.
Preset options include:
Casual
Informative
Persuasive
Storytelling
Or you can enter a custom tone like “high-energy YouTube Shorts” or “cinematic commentary.”
4. Answer the follow-up question
Script Writer may ask a quick follow-up based on your topic, like “What angle should we focus on?” Specific answers will help deliver more relevant scripts.
5. Choose your concept
You’ll be shown 3 different directions for your script. Pick the one that fits your idea or audience best.
💡 Tip: If none of the concepts feel right, you can go back and change your prompt or tone.
6. Let the AI generate your script
The Script Writer will:
Analyze stylistically similar videos on YouTube
Emulate structure, flow, and pacing
Generate a full script with intro, sections, and a call to action
Fact-check and polish the draft to sound natural and human-written
⏱️ This step usually takes about 2–3 minutes.
7. Refine your script
Once the draft is ready, you can:
Edit or rewrite any section
Regenerate the intro or full script
Apply tone adjustments (e.g., “Make this more emotional” or “Sound more like MrBeast”)
📸 Refine tone or adjust pacing with suggestions built into the editor
