What is an AI script generator?An AI script generator is a tool that writes a draft script for a video from a short description. You enter the topic, and it returns a structured script with an opening hook, main points and a closing call to action. ContentStudio's AI script generator is free, needs no login and works for any video format.

How to use it

How to Use the AI Script Generator

The tool has one input. The more you put into it, the better the script, so write a short brief rather than a single word.

  1. 1

    Describe the video

    Enter the topic, the main message or the key points the script should cover.

  2. 2

    Name the format and length

    Add it to the same box: "60-second Instagram Reel", "8-minute YouTube tutorial", "30-second ad".

  3. 3

    Add the audience and tone

    For example "for first-time home buyers, friendly and simple" or "for IT managers, professional".

  4. 4

    Generate

    Click Generate video script now. You get a draft with a hook, body and closing.

  5. 5

    Edit before recording

    Add product names, personal stories, local references and your call to action. Then read it aloud and cut anything that sounds stiff.

Tip: the draft is a starting point, not a finished production document. Its main value is the structure: a strong opening, a logical flow and a clear ending.

What you can write

What you can write with this AI video script generator

YouTube videos

Tutorials, reviews, vlogs and explainers with an intro, sections and an outro. For YouTube-only features such as chapters and end screens, use the YouTube script generator.

Short-form videos

15–90 second scripts for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok with a hook in the first seconds. The TikTok script generator is tuned for TikTok trends and formats.

Video ads

15, 30 and 60 second ads with a problem, a solution and one call to action. Name the product, offer and audience in your brief.

Product demos and explainers

Walk viewers through a feature or a process step by step, with a line for what appears on screen.

Testimonials and case studies

Interview questions and a structure for customer stories: before, the change, the result.

Webinars, talks and podcasts

Openings, segment transitions and closings for longer recordings. For full episodes, the Podcast script generator adds formats such as interviews and solo shows.

Social media scripts

Social Media Script Generator

Social media scripts are shorter and built differently from long-form video scripts. Mention the network in your brief and the generator writes for it.

Instagram Reels

Short scripts with an immediate hook (the first two seconds must give a reason to keep watching), a single focused message and a one-line prompt to comment, save or share at the end.

TikTok videos

Scripts built around TikTok's native formats: storytime, tutorial, reaction, trend participation or talking-head commentary. Each format has its own pacing.

YouTube Shorts

Vertical videos of up to 3 minutes, though most Shorts are under a minute. Open with the payoff and keep one idea per Short.

Facebook videos

Many people watch Facebook videos without sound, so write short lines that also work as on-screen text and add captions.

LinkedIn video

Professional scripts that lead with an industry insight or a lesson from experience, cover one point and close with a question for the comments.

Ad scripts

Script Generator for Ads

Ad scripts follow a tighter structure than organic content because every second costs money and every word must earn its place. A standard 30-second video ad script looks like this:

TimePartWhat it does
0–5 secondsHookStates the problem or desire the audience already has, as a visual or a direct line they recognize at once.
5–20 secondsSolutionShows the product or service as the answer. One specific benefit beats a list of features.
20–30 secondsCall to actionOne low-friction action with urgency or an offer: "Start your free trial" or "Shop now, sale ends Sunday".

To get this structure, write "30-second video ad" in the brief, plus the product, the offer and the target audience.

How to write a script

How to write a video script in 6 steps

1. Set one goal and one audience

Decide what the viewer should do or know at the end. A script that tries to teach, sell and entertain at once loses people.

2. Write the hook first

The first seconds decide whether people stay. Open with the result, a bold claim, a question or a quick preview of the payoff.

3. Outline the main points

List three to five points in order before you write sentences. Each point needs a reason to watch the next one.

4. Write for the ear

Use short sentences, everyday words and contractions. Read each line aloud. If you stumble, rewrite it.

5. Plan the visuals

Next to each line, note what is on screen: you on camera, B-roll, a screen recording or text. This becomes your shot list.

6. End with one call to action

Subscribe, comment, visit the link or book a call. Pick one and say it clearly.

Script template

Video script template and length guide

Use this two-column structure for any video. The generator follows the same pattern.

  • Hook

    "Most people get this wrong. Here's the fix."

  • Intro

    Who you are and what the video covers, in one or two lines.

  • Point 1–3

    One idea per point, with an example.

  • Recap

    The one thing to remember.

  • Call to action

    "Comment your question and I'll answer it in the next video."

At a natural speaking pace of about 130–150 words per minute, plan your word count like this:

Video lengthApprox. script words
15 seconds35–40
30 seconds65–75
60 seconds130–150
3 minutes400–450
10 minutes1,300–1,500

Script to video

Script to Video: What This Tool Does and Does Not Do

Some people looking for a script generator actually want a tool that turns a written script into a finished video. These are two different tools.

What this tool does

Writes the script text from your topic. The output is a text draft you copy, edit and record.

What a script-to-video tool does

Takes a finished script and builds a video from it, usually with stock footage, an AI voiceover and automatic editing. Pictory, Synthesia and InVideo are examples.

The two work in sequence: write the script here, then paste it into a script-to-video tool or a teleprompter app to produce the video.

From script to published video

Writing the script is step one. ContentStudio helps you publish the finished video and plan what comes next. With it you can:

  • Schedule videos everywhere. Publish Reels, Shorts, TikToks, YouTube videos and LinkedIn videos at the best time with ContentStudio's social media scheduler.
  • Write the post that goes with the video. AI Studio, our AI social media content generator, writes captions, titles and hashtags in your brand voice.
  • Plan a content calendar. Map out your video series week by week and see every network in one calendar.

What is the difference between a script and a video description?

A script is the spoken or presented content of the video itself: what the creator says on camera or in a voiceover. A video description is the text below the published video on YouTube or social media. Scripts guide the recording; descriptions help people find and navigate the video.

Can I use the script generator for YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Write "YouTube Short" and the length in your brief, for example "45-second YouTube Short". The generator writes a short vertical-video script with a hook in the first line. Shorts can be up to 3 minutes, but most work best under a minute.

How long should a YouTube video script be?

It depends on the target length. About 130 to 150 words equals one minute of speech at a natural pace, so a 10-minute YouTube video needs roughly 1,300 to 1,500 words. Add the target length to your brief and the generator sizes the draft to match.

Can the generator write scripts in other languages?

Write your brief in the language you want the script in. The generator replies in the same language. English gives the most consistent structure, and other major languages produce usable drafts that may need more editing.

Do I have to follow the generated script exactly?

No. The script is a starting draft. Most creators adapt it while recording so it sounds like them, and some use it as speaker notes rather than reading it word for word. Its value is the structure: an opening hook, a logical flow and a clear call to action.

Can I use the script generator for a podcast?

Yes. Write "podcast intro", "interview questions" or "episode closing" in your brief. Podcast scripts are usually looser than video scripts and leave room for conversation. For full episodes with formats such as solo, interview or panel, ContentStudio also has a dedicated podcast script tool.

How do you write a script for a video?

Set one goal and audience, write a hook for the first seconds, outline three to five main points, write short spoken sentences, note the visuals for each line and finish with one call to action. Read it aloud and time it before you record.

Can AI write a video script?

Yes. AI tools like this one write a solid first draft in seconds, with structure, transitions and a call to action. You still need to add personal stories, facts you can verify and your own voice so the video sounds human.

How many words is a 1-minute script?

About 130 to 150 words. Fast talkers fit more and slow, clear explainers fit less, so read your script aloud with a timer to check.

Write the script here. Schedule the video in ContentStudio.
