YouTube Shorts Script Generator

Creator guide

Every second has to earn the next one

Shorts have almost no slack — a hook that takes 5 seconds to land is already too slow.

What this tool generates

A 4-part Shorts structure (hook, setup, payoff, CTA) timed for a sub-60-second video.

How to use the result

Fill in the payoff section with your specific tip or technique — that's the part that actually has to deliver.

Data to note

Shorts retention drops off fast — if your payoff section runs long, consider cutting the setup section entirely.

A simple way to use this tool

1. Say the payoff or the promise in the first 3 seconds, not after a setup.
2. Cut the setup section entirely if you can get to payoff faster.
3. End on the CTA, not a trailing thought — the last frame is prime real estate.
