AI script writer

A script that already knows what's on screen.

Most AI writers hand you a wall of text and leave the hard part, turning words into scenes, to you. Etchly writes the narration and the scene direction together, so the script is ready to produce the moment you approve it.

The Etchly script and scene plan editor

Fitted to length, word by word

Pick a target length, anywhere from a 15-second hook to a five-minute deep dive. Etchly sets a word budget from the narrator's real speaking rate and your chosen pacing: slow and deliberate, natural, or fast short-form. That way a 60-second video actually comes out at 60 seconds.

  • Targets from 15 seconds to 5+ minutes
  • Pacing presets tuned to each voice's real speed
  • Reading level: simple, general or expert

Scene direction included

Every line of narration is paired with a scene: which layout to use, the on-screen title, which word triggers each reveal, what the illustration shows and which sound effect punctuates it. That direction is what lets one click produce a finished video instead of a rough cut.

  • Layouts: titles, lists, big numbers, compare, characters
  • Word-level reveal triggers
  • Illustration prompts in your chosen style
  • Sound-effect cues
A single scene with narration, layout and illustration direction

Revise in one sentence

Edit any line directly, or ask for a change the way you'd brief a writer: “make the hook punchier”, “add a line about free delivery”, “explain it for beginners”. A revision costs one credit, and only scenes that changed need new art.

Written to perform, ready to post

Scripts are shaped by a real marketing harness: hook types, structures, angles and calls to action (see hooks & structures). Alongside the video you get a title, hook, description and hashtags written for the platform you're posting to.

  • Title, description and hashtags
  • Platform-aware copy for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and Shorts
  • Consistent voice across a whole series
