Video Script Writer
Write engaging video scripts for YouTube, courses, social media, and presentations. Creates complete scripts with hooks, visual direction, pacing, and audience retention techniques.
Usage

- Length: 60 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 20+ minutes
- Style: Educational, Entertainment, Review, Tutorial, or Documentary
- Audience: General, Niche expert, Beginner, or Professional
Examples
- YouTube Tutorial: 10-minute script explaining Docker containers to beginners with a pattern-interrupt hook, chapter markers, B-roll suggestions, and a subscriber CTA at the 70% mark.
- TikTok Product Review: 60-second script with a controversy hook ("This $200 product is a scam... or is it?"), rapid-fire pros/cons, and a cliffhanger ending driving to part 2.
- Online Course Lesson: 15-minute educational video script with learning objectives stated upfront, concept builds from simple to complex, practice exercises, and knowledge check questions.
- Corporate Explainer: 3-minute animated explainer script for a SaaS product with problem-agitation-solution structure, customer testimonial integration points, and demo walkthrough notes.
Guidelines
- Hooks are written for the first 5 seconds — the most critical retention window
- Scripts include [VISUAL] direction notes alongside spoken dialogue
- Pacing varies to maintain engagement (facts, stories, questions, demonstrations)
- Retention techniques are placed at strategic points (pattern interrupts, open loops)
- CTA placement follows platform best practices (mid-roll for YouTube, end for courses)
- Scripts read naturally when spoken aloud, not like written essays
- Estimated timestamps help plan recording and editing sessions
- Platform-specific best practices are followed (YouTube SEO, TikTok trends, etc.)
- B-roll and graphics suggestions reduce post-production decision fatigue
