Beat 1 · Hook — Written Last
The hook is extracted from the best line in the body — never written first.
BEAT 1 — HOOK — 0:00–0:12 · YouTube long-form

SPOKEN:
I grew a finance channel from 800 to 47,000 subscribers in eight months.
No paid promotion. No viral luck.
One structural change to every script I wrote.

📹 B-ROLL: Creator at desk, analytics dashboard visible on second monitor — subscriber count rising
💬 TEXT: "800 → 47K SUBS"
⚡ DELIVERY NOTE: Slow, direct. Pause after "eight months." Let the number land.
Hook written after all content beats were locked. The specific result (800 → 47K, 8 months) is the anchor — generic hooks without a real detail consistently underperform.
Beat 4 · Pattern Interrupt — Every 60–90s
Visual, audio, or content shift — mandatory in every long-form script.
BEAT 4 — PATTERN INTERRUPT — 3:20–3:35

SPOKEN:
Here's the stat that made me rethink everything.

📊 GRAPHIC: Full-screen stat card — "65% of viewers who pass 15 seconds watch past 3 minutes. Without a hook: under 45%." — white text on dark background, 3 seconds
🎵 AUDIO NOTE: Music drops to silence for 2 seconds as the graphic appears. Resume at lower volume.
⚡ DELIVERY NOTE: Stop talking as the stat appears. Let the viewer read it. Silence is the interrupt.
Pattern interrupts are flagged at the exact beat — not left for the editor to place. Visual change + audio shift together produce the strongest retention signal.
Short-Form · TikTok / Reels Script
60-second Reels format — 5 beats, value in the first 3 seconds.
BEAT 1 — HOOK [0:00–0:03]
SPOKEN: Your video isn't boring. The structure is wrong.
💬 TEXT: "YOUR STRUCTURE IS WRONG"
BEAT 2 — TENSION [0:03–0:08]
SPOKEN: Most creators write the hook first. That's the mistake.
BEAT 3 — VALUE [0:08–0:48]
Write payoffs first → setups second → hook last.
📹 B-ROLL: Screen recording — script doc, reordering sections
BEAT 4 — PAYOFF [0:48–0:55]
SPOKEN: The best hook is always already in the content.
BEAT 5 — CTA [0:55–1:00]
SPOKEN: Follow for the next script framework.
Every beat timed to the second. B-roll specific enough to shoot without a brief.
Beat 6 · Mid-Point Retention + CTA
Re-commitment at the 50% mark. One CTA — specific, placed after the payoff.
BEAT 6 — MID-POINT RETENTION HOOK — 5:10 (~50% of 10-min video)

SPOKEN:
Now here's the part most people skip —
and it's the reason their view duration stalls at exactly three minutes.

⚡ DELIVERY NOTE: Slow down. Direct eye contact. This is the re-commitment line.

BEAT 9 — CTA — 9:05 (90% mark)

SPOKEN:
If you want the companion checklist I use before every upload — it's linked below.
Everything in this video, one page.

💬 TEXT: "FREE CHECKLIST ↓"
⚡ DELIVERY NOTE: Natural, not desperate. The value is already delivered — this is just a pointer.
Mid-point hook mandatory for any video over 5 minutes. CTA placed after payoff — never before the viewer has received value.
Creator & Editor Notes
Ships with every script — hook variant, word count, platform tip, A/B test line.
Hook written last: ✓
Algorithm signal targeted: watch time + saves (resource link)
Pattern interrupts: Beats 4, 6, 8 — stat graphic, silence, reframe
Real detail: "800 → 47K subs, 8 months" — replace with your own result
Read-aloud note: Beat 3, sentence 4 — rewrite if it sounds like a blog post
Est. word count: 1,340 words → ~8 min 56s at 150 WPM conversational pace
Platform note: 10 min qualifies for mid-roll ads (YouTube Partner Program)
Hook variant B (A/B test):
"The difference between 800 subscribers and 47,000 is one paragraph. Here it is."
Creator Notes ship with every script — never delivered without them.

How it works

How does Video Script work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $15.
What you get

Built for the creator
and the editor.

🎣
Hook written last — extracted from the strongest line in the body, every time.
Earns the next 30 seconds

⚡
Pattern interrupts every 60–90 seconds in long-form — the #1 retention tool on YouTube.
Mandatory · timed · specific
🎯
One CTA. Placed at the correct beat for your video length. Never buried at the top.
YouTube · TikTok · Reels
Who it's for

For anyone who hits
record and wants
people to stay.

✓
YouTube creators whose retention drops at three minutes no matter the topic.
✓
TikTok and Reels creators who improvise and then wonder why the hook didn't land.
✓
Content agencies scripting multiple videos a week across different niches and formats.
✓
Faceless channel operators who need a voiceover-ready script without being on camera.
Not what this is for
✕Video editing or post-production — this is a scripting tool, not an editor.
✕Thumbnail copy or SEO titles — those are separate outputs with their own logic.
✕Documentary or narrative films — scope is platform-format creator content, not cinematic production.

The complete guide to video script writing covers what makes a script built for retention versus one built for length.

"I was scripting videos in my head and wondering why my 10-minute videos died at the three-minute mark. The first script I ran through this skill had four pattern interrupts I'd never have thought to add. Average view duration went from 31% to 58% on the next upload."
