Five beats · one take
Every other tool guesses at length. ScriptMyVideos computes the word count for each beat from your platform's speaking rate, writes to it, and checks the draft against it before you ever see it. Thirty seconds means thirty seconds.
Cancel whenever. Your scripts stay yours.

Four steps, usually under a minute.
Anything from a rough idea to a full outline. Add who is watching and what you want them to do, and the draft gets sharper.
Platform, length, tone and language. Each platform brings its own pacing, hook window and caption rules.
Five beats, each written to a computed word budget, with on-screen text, b-roll notes and three alternative openers.
One click to make a beat shorter, punchier, more specific or more human. Every edit saves a new version.
The framework
Five beats, always in this order. Each one has a job, a share of the word budget, and a specific way it goes wrong — which is what the engine is actually checking for.
Snap the scroll in the first one or two seconds. Concrete and specific enough that the viewer thinks "wait, what?"
Fails when — Generic curiosity bait that could sit on any video.
Name the pain they are living with, in their words. Plainly, with no theatrics.
Fails when — Abstraction — "many creators struggle with consistency".
Earn the right to be heard: a number, a scar, a receipt. Proof you have stood where they are standing.
Fails when — Empty rapport — "I have been there too".
The payoff, specific enough to act on today. Most of the budget lives here.
Fails when — Vague encouragement instead of a concrete step.
Turn watching into doing. Exactly one action.
Fails when — Stacked asks — like, comment, follow and check the link.

Why it fits
Ask any AI for "a 30-second script" and you get somewhere between eighteen and fifty seconds of talking. Language models are poor at judging how long words take to say, and excellent at hitting a stated word count.
So ScriptMyVideos never asks for a duration. It multiplies your length by the platform's real speaking rate, splits the result across the five beats, and hands the engine five integers. Then it counts the words that came back and sends anything outside tolerance straight to a repair pass.
That is the whole trick, and it is the reason your script fits the slot on the first take.
A chat assistant will write you a script. It will not hold itself to one.
| ScriptMyVideos | A general AI chat | |
|---|---|---|
| Length control | A word budget per beat, computed from the platform and checked on the way back | Whatever length it guesses |
| Structure | Five beats enforced on every generation | Whatever you remembered to ask for |
| Platforms | Six presets with their own pacing, hook window and captions | One tone for everywhere |
| Editing | One click: shorter, punchier, more specific, sound human | Rewrite the prompt and start again |
| Version history | Every refinement saves a new version. Restore any of them | Scroll up and hope |
| Your voice | Learned from scripts you have published, applied every time | Re-paste it into every conversation |
| What you get | Spoken lines, on-screen text, b-roll notes, three alternative openers | Paragraphs |

Fair use means 500 scripts a month, 50 a day. If you are writing more than that, talk to us and we will work something out rather than cutting you off.
A script engine for short-form video. You give it a topic, a platform, a length and one thing you want the viewer to do; it returns five labelled beats you can read straight to camera, with a word budget enforced on every one.
Snap, Hurt, Own, Reveal, Turn. Snap the scroll, name the pain in the viewer's own words, earn the right to be heard, deliver the payoff, then ask for exactly one thing. It is the direct-response structure that has worked for decades, written down as five rules a machine can be held to.
A chat assistant gives you whatever structure you remembered to ask for, at whatever length it guesses. ScriptMyVideos computes the word count for each beat from the platform's speaking rate, then checks the draft against it before you ever see it. You get a script that fits the slot, not one you have to trim on camera.
Usually under thirty seconds. Refinements are faster still, because they only rewrite the beat you clicked on.
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, long-form YouTube, LinkedIn and X. Each carries its own speaking rate, hook window and caption conventions, so a LinkedIn script is genuinely written for LinkedIn rather than relabelled.
Yes. Paste in scripts you have already published and ScriptMyVideos distils a voice profile it applies to every generation. It is not a text box you fill in once — it improves as you rate what it writes.
Click one of the refinements: shorter, punchier, more specific, sound human, change the ask. Every one writes a new version rather than overwriting the old, so nothing is ever lost and undo is just loading the previous version.
Solo is $29 a month. Team is $99 a month for five seats, shared client voices and API access. Both bill annually at two months free, and both can be cancelled whenever you like.
Write one that already fits. It takes about thirty seconds to find out whether that is worth $29 to you.
