Short-Form Script Writer
Generate a timed short-form script with beats + shot list + caption.
Last updated: March 6th, 2026
What this tool does
Generates a 30-second short-form script with hook, problem, solution, CTA, shot list, and caption. Designed for Reels, TikToks, and Shorts. You enter a topic and get a full draft to edit and film.
When to use it
- Planning a Reel, TikTok, or Short and need a full script fast
- You have a topic but not a structure (hook, problem, solution, CTA)
- Want a shot list to guide filming
- Need a caption draft to post with the video
Inputs explained
- Topic – What the video is about (e.g. productivity tips). Drives the script content.
How to use it
- Enter your topic. Click Generate.
- Replace placeholders with your content. Use the shot list for filming.
- Copy the caption for your post. Use Regenerate for a different structure.
Common mistakes
- Using a topic that is too broad so the script feels generic
- Using the output verbatim without adding your own examples or voice
- Ignoring the shot list and then missing key visuals
- Skipping the hook; the first line should stop the scroll
Use it with AI
This tool is not AI-powered. You can use the results with an AI assistant in these ways:
- Paste the script and ask for a shorter 15-second version or a longer 60-second version.
- Ask an AI to suggest B-roll ideas for each shot in the list.
- Combine with the AI Toolkit for content workflows.
