UNDER THE HOOD

Format-specific hook patterns combine with your takeaway, practical steps, evidence, and CTA. Four time blocks span the selected duration; a 138-words-per-minute heuristic flags an overfull script. Platform choice tailors the publishing checklist, not the underlying factual claims. This is a deterministic, browser-local guided generator, not a language model. Identical inputs and variation number reproduce the same draft. No model inference, fact checking, originality clearance, or performance prediction is performed. Review and edit before use.

Promise one useful change

A short video is easier to follow when the viewer knows what they will understand or do by the end. Define a specific audience problem and one takeaway. A topic such as “productivity” is broad; “capture the…

Make the evidence visible

Use your own demonstration, a clearly labeled fictional example, or evidence you can cite and have permission to show. Before-and-after framing must compare the same thing honestly. The tool will not invent a…

Budget for pictures as well as words

The word estimate assumes 138 spoken words per minute as a planning heuristic, not a measured speaking speed. Viewers also need time to see a screen change or physical action. A draft inside the word budget…

GOOD TO KNOW

A few useful answers.

Will this make my video go viral?

No. It produces a script scaffold and production plan. Distribution, audience fit, execution, timing, and many other factors affect performance.

Does it generate an actual video or voiceover?

No. The download is text containing the script, shot list, timing targets, and review notes.

Why is the script over its target duration?

Your details may need more words than the target allows. The tool displays the word count and excess rather than silently removing important facts. Shorten the wording or select a longer target.

Why are some practical steps omitted?

A 15-second draft uses the first step, and a 30-second draft uses up to three. Longer targets can include all five. The output explicitly reports omissions.

Are these official platform duration rules?

No. The durations are creative planning targets. Preview the current upload experience on your chosen platform for its actual requirements.
