Houseplants with drooping leaves on a frosty winter windowsill

30-second short vertical video

Grok 4.5

[WHY YOUR PLANTS DIE IN WINTER] Your houseplants are not dying from cold. Winter light and dry air are the real killers. Tip 1: Water less. Soil stays wet longer in winter, so roots rot. Check the soil first. [WATER LESS] Tip 2: Move them closer to a bright window. Short days mean less light, and that slows growth. [MORE LIGHT] Tip 3: Keep them off radiators and away from heaters. Dry heat burns leaves fast. [SKIP THE HEAT] Save this for winter plant care, and follow for more simple plant tips.

What is an AI script generator?

An AI script generator is a chat model that writes the words of a video: the hook, the lines and notes on what is shown.

When the script is right, the AI avatar video generator turns it into a talking presenter video with no camera.

Scripts people write

  • YouTube videosHook, points, B-roll notes.
  • Short vertical videosThirty seconds with on-screen text.
  • AdsA problem, the fix, one offer.
  • ScenesScreenplay format for a short film.

Questions about the AI script generator

Short answers about writing video scripts with AI.

Yes. Chat models write video scripts well when you give them a topic, a length and a format. This page sets that up: pick a starter, fill in the topic and send it.

Yes. It runs in the free chat on Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.6 Luna and Grok 4.5, which works without an account and without a card. Guests have a daily limit, and a free account lifts it.

Plan on roughly 150 spoken words for each minute. A 30-second short is about 70 words, a 60-second explainer about 150. Say the length in seconds and the script follows it.

Yes. Use the Short vertical video starter: it asks for a hook in the first two seconds, quick points and on-screen text cues in brackets.

It writes scenes in screenplay format, with headings, action and dialogue. For a whole film, outline it first and ask for it scene by scene, steering between scenes.

Yes. Paste a short script into the AI avatar video generator, pick a presenter and a voice, and it reads your script on camera.

Each free model has its own voice. The table above shows how fast each one answered our briefs; run your brief on two of them and keep the better script.

Yes, as your draft. Check every fact and number, and read it aloud once: a line that looks fine on screen can sound stiff when spoken.
