A good 1 minute YouTube Shorts script follows a simple formula: a hook in the first 2 seconds, three or four fast beats with one idea each, and a quick call to action. Script Writer writes Shorts with exactly these rules.
- Hook (0–2 s) — the result or a surprising claimBeat 1–3 (2–50 s) — one idea per beat, no long introClose (50–60 s) — one action: follow, comment, watch the long video.
- 4 steps: Pick 1 minute (Short) → Get 5 ideas → Write the script → Record or make the video.
- Aim for 130–150 words for 60 seconds.
Who is this for?
New Shorts creators who want a simple formula they can repeat every day.
The formula
- Hook (0–2 s) — the result or a surprising claim
- Beat 1–3 (2–50 s) — one idea per beat, no long intro
- Close (50–60 s) — one action: follow, comment, watch the long video
A 60-second script — step by step
- Pick 1 minute (Short) — Shorts rules switch on.
- Get 5 ideas — each with a hook.
- Write the script — hook, beats, close.
- Record or make the video — Read mode or Shorts Maker.
Why there is no intro
In Shorts, viewers swipe in under two seconds. “Hi guys, welcome back” loses them. Start with the payoff.
From script to video
Send the script to Video Planner and tap “Make the video” for a Short with AI voice and captions — or record it yourself with Read mode.
Example: “3 phone settings” in 60 seconds
Hook: “Your phone is slow because of these 3 settings.” Beat 1: animations. Beat 2: background apps. Beat 3: storage. Close: “Follow for part 2.” Total: 140 words — about 58 seconds.
Mistakes to avoid
- Long sentences. Short lines are easier to say and caption.
- Two ideas in one beat. One beat, one idea.
- Ending abruptly. Close with one clear action.
- Over 160 words. That is more than a minute.
Smart tips
- Aim for 130–150 words for 60 seconds.
- Make the hook match your thumbnail frame.
- Loop the last line into the first for rewatches.
- Test two hooks on two Shorts.
