What this does

Give a topic and a target length and we return the hook idea, then 5 to 8 beats as a numbered list with a rough minute marker each, then the outro. One line per beat says what it must accomplish.

No script prose. This is the shape of the video, not the words of it.

Use cases
  1. 01Plan a video's structure before you write a single spoken line.
  2. 02Check the beats actually fill the target length before you film.
  3. 03Hand a co-host or editor the shape without the full script.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does this write the actual script?

No. It gives beats and minute markers only. Use the Script Generator once the shape is right.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Video Outline Generator is a Starter tool.

What if my video doesn't fit neatly into beats?

Say so in the brief. A vaguer topic gets a looser outline; a specific one gets tighter beats.
