About the TikTok Script Writer
TikTok Script Writer builds a script for a short vertical video from a one-line idea. Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds and an educational, funny or storytelling style. You get a hook for the first two seconds, spoken lines with rough timings, a few lines of on-screen text and a short call to action. The same script works for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. It is a draft to read aloud and tweak, not a finished video. Your idea is sent to our AI service to write the answer and is not stored.

Anatomy of a short video
Most videos that hold attention follow the same simple pattern: a hook, one idea delivered quickly, and a clear ending. The script has each part labelled, so you can see where the time goes. Use the first two seconds for the hook, most of the rest for the idea, and the last second or two for the call to action.
Pick a length
Fifteen seconds suits a single tip or a joke. Thirty seconds gives room for a tip with an example. Sixty seconds lets you tell a short story or a three-step how-to. Shorter is usually better: if the idea fits in fifteen seconds, do not stretch it.
- 15 seconds: one tip, about 35 words
- 30 seconds: a tip plus an example, about 70 words
- 60 seconds: three steps or a mini story, about 140 words
Choose a style
Educational scripts teach one thing quickly. Funny scripts use surprise and exaggeration, never at someone else's expense. Storytelling scripts set up a situation, reach a turn and finish with a twist. If you are unsure, try two styles and see which feels more natural when you read it out loud.
Turn the script into a video
Plan the visuals for each timed line, film in short takes, and add the on-screen text. If you need captions, the Add Subtitles to Video tool can burn them in, and Add Text to Video places a title. Trim the final cut with Trim Video, and compress the file with the Video Compressor before upload if it is large.
Be honest and original
Do not make promises you cannot keep, and avoid health, money or safety advice that you are not qualified to give. Add your own voice, examples and face; that is what viewers follow you for.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the hook matter so much?
Viewers decide in the first second or two whether to keep watching. A hook that raises a question, shows a result or makes a bold, honest promise gives them a reason to stay.
How many words fit in my video?
People speak about two to three words a second, so a 15 second video holds roughly 35 words, 30 seconds about 70, and 60 seconds about 140. Read the script aloud with a timer to check.
Can I use the script for Reels or Shorts?
Yes. Vertical short videos on all platforms work the same way: a quick hook, one idea, and a clear ending. Adjust the call to action to the platform.
What is on-screen text for?
Many people watch without sound. Short lines on the screen repeat the key points so the video still makes sense when muted.
Does it include trending sounds or hashtags?
No. It does not know what is trending today. Use the Hashtag Generator for tags, and choose sounds inside the app.
Will the facts be correct?
It is told not to invent statistics or sources, but it can still be wrong. Check any claim before you say it on camera.
Can I get a different script?
Yes. Press Try again, or change the style or length.
Is my idea stored?
No. It is sent to our AI service to write the script and is not stored.
