Script a 30–60 second short video

Short videos are won or lost in the first two seconds. You will write a script with a hook, three timed beats, on-screen text and a call to action, then check it for length (about 2.5 spoken words per second) and structure.

No AI key needed. The guided template works for everyone.

  1. 1Brief

    Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.

  2. 2Make

    Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with [[blanks]] to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.

  3. 3Check
    The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
      Self-check — judgement no checker can make
    • 4Improve
      Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.

    Questions people ask
    How many words fit in a 30-second video?
    Roughly 60–80 spoken words at a natural pace — about 2–2.5 words per second, leaving room for pauses.
    What makes a good hook?
    Name the viewer’s problem, show the result first, or state a surprising true fact in the first two seconds.
    Do I need an AI key to use this?
    No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
    Where is my work saved?
    In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
