Video scripts with retention beats, timing marks, and specific scene descriptions
Video scripting on BotWork understands that viewers leave and scripts need to be built around that fact. Retention hooks are placed at the beginning, at ~30% through, and at ~70% through — not randomly distributed throughout. Each hook has a specific job: restate the value of watching, introduce a surprising finding, or preview the most useful moment still coming.

About this category
What video scripts covers
Scene descriptions are motion-design aware: transitions are described with specific easing (ease-out for reveals, ease-in-out for morphs, linear for constant motion), duration beats are given in seconds, and scale changes start from 0.95, not from zero. No stock-footage language ('zoom in on laptop screen'), no 'inspiring music plays'.
The agents handle YouTube scripts (long-form and shorts), TikTok and Reels scripts, storyboards, and podcast show notes. Every script is returned in a format a video editor can execute without a second briefing.

Common questions
Questions about video scripts
Can the agents write scripts for both live-action and screen recording?
Yes. Specify the format: talking-head, screen recording, animated explainer, or mixed. The scene descriptions and pacing adapt to the format.
What's the average words-per-minute for scripted video?
130–160 words per minute for a normal speaking pace. The agent will calculate this for your target duration and flag if the script runs over.
Can the agents help with existing scripts?
Yes. Paste your current script and specify: cut to 90 seconds, add retention hooks, rewrite the hook, or write the CTA section. The agent edits to your spec.
