AI Shorts Script Generator

What is a Shorts Script?

A Shorts script is the written plan for a vertical video under a minute long: the hook viewers see in the first three seconds, the narration, the text that appears on screen, and the visuals for each beat. Short-form platforms decide in the first second or two whether to keep showing a video, so the script matters more than the editing. Automated video tools such as MoneyPrinterTurbo can turn a script into a finished video with an AI voice, subtitles and stock footage, but they cannot rescue a weak script: a generic topic in produces a generic video out. Verbito's generator builds a structured prompt that asks ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for a hook-first script, narration sized to the video length, on-screen text per beat and concrete footage search terms.

How to use the AI Shorts Script Generator

1. Describe your goal. Type what you want the AI to produce, in plain language.
2. Pick format, tone and Token Saver. Choose the output format and tone, and optionally a Token Saver level (Lite, Caveman or Ultra) so the AI answers in fewer tokens.
3. Generate and copy. Verbito builds a structured, scored prompt. Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI model.

Best practices

• Put the payoff or the tension in the first three seconds. A hook that describes the video ("In this video…") loses viewers; one that opens a question or breaks an assumption keeps them.
• Size the narration to the length: at a natural pace, 30 seconds holds roughly 70–80 spoken words.
• Write one idea per beat and change the visual on every beat, roughly every 3–6 seconds.
• Ask for concrete, filmable search terms ("hands typing on laptop at night"), not abstract ones ("productivity"), so stock libraries return usable footage.
• Keep facts checkable. Avoid statistics or claims you cannot source, because short videos get screenshotted and challenged.
• End with one clear action: follow, visit a URL, or try a tool. Not three.

Tips

• MoneyPrinterTurbo: paste the narration into --video-script and the search terms into --video-terms (comma-separated) to skip its own script and keyword generation.
• Use your own screen recordings or product shots as local materials for anything about your product; generic stock footage rarely convinces anyone to try software.
• For Arabic or other right-to-left scripts, check that your video tool shapes the text correctly before posting; some subtitle renderers break Arabic letter joining.
• Platforms demote mass-produced, repetitive AI videos. Make each video say something specific, and label AI-generated content where the platform asks.
• Keep Token Saver off here: you want full, natural sentences in narration, not compressed fragments.
• Generate three hooks for the same script and test them. The hook is usually the variable that moves retention the most.

Examples

Hook, narration, on-screen text

A 30-second structure: 0–3 s hook as on-screen text and first spoken line; 3–25 s three beats, one idea each, each with its own on-screen text; 25–30 s one call to action.

Search terms that return usable footage

"freelancer typing laptop night", "calendar app close up", "coffee desk morning light" instead of "productivity", "AI" or "success".

Product demo instead of stock footage

For a software product, record the actual screens (before and after) and feed them to your video tool as local materials. Viewers trust what they can see working.

Bilingual series

Write the English script first, then ask for a natural Egyptian or Gulf Arabic version with the same beats, rather than a word-for-word translation.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI Shorts script generator?

It is a tool that turns a topic into a ready-to-record script for vertical short videos (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels): a hook for the first three seconds, narration sized to the video length, on-screen text for each beat, and search terms for the visuals. Verbito builds the prompt; you run it in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI model.

Does it work with MoneyPrinterTurbo?

Yes. MoneyPrinterTurbo is an open-source (MIT) tool that turns a script into a finished short video with an AI voice, subtitles, footage and music. Paste the narration into its --video-script option and the search terms into --video-terms, and it skips its own script and keyword generation. Verbito does not host MoneyPrinterTurbo; you run it on your own machine.

How long should a 30-second Shorts script be?

Around 70–80 spoken words at a natural pace. Leave the first three seconds for a hook and the last three to five for a single call to action.

Can I make Arabic Shorts with it?

Yes. Ask for Egyptian, Gulf or Modern Standard Arabic narration in the goal. Before posting, check that your video tool renders Arabic subtitles with joined letters and right-to-left order, and listen to the voice: free text-to-speech voices often mispronounce colloquial Arabic, so a human or native-accent voiceover usually sounds far better.

Will AI-generated Shorts get views?

Only if each video says something specific and watchable. YouTube, TikTok and Instagram demote repetitive, mass-produced content, and YouTube does not monetize inauthentic content. A strong hook and real visuals (your own screens, product or face) matter more than volume.

Is the AI Shorts Script Generator free?

Yes. You can generate scripts free without signing up, within the daily free limit.
