Generations remaining today: 2
What you put in, what comes back
Three inputs
A topic in a few words, one of 12 styles from Fun Facts to Horror to Business, and a target length anywhere from 10 to 120 seconds on the slider.
A timed draft
Lines stamped [0:00], [0:05] and so on, labeled Hook, Main Point and Call-to-Action, each followed by a Visual note. Our 30-second test about octopus intelligence came back with about 70 spoken words.
Written by GPT-3.5 Turbo
An older OpenAI model with no live view of TikTok, so anything it calls trending is a guess. It also repeats popular simplifications: our test said octopuses have nine brains. Check every fact before you record.
Four edits before you hit record
Time it out loud
The timestamps are the model’s estimate, not a measurement. Read the spoken lines with a stopwatch; most people land near 150 words a minute, so a 30-second video holds about 75 words.
Replace the first sentence
Generated hooks tend to open with "Did you know", which viewers have heard countless times. Swap it for the most surprising specific in the script, stated as plainly as you can.
Move hashtags to the caption
The draft often ends its call to action with a few hashtags. Nobody should say those out loud. Cut them and write the post text separately.
Treat Visual lines as a shot list
Notes like "show a diagram of an octopus" are for you or your editor. Collect them into a separate list of shots, then delete them from the text you will narrate.
For the post text itself, the free TikTok caption generator writes a short caption from the same topic.
Rather not film it? Blipix's Script template turns your text into a narrated video with an AI image for each beat. Everything in that box is read word for word, so paste only the spoken lines, without timestamps, labels or Visual notes. On the free plan the script must be 75 to 112 words. The text to video page shows how it works.
A 30-Second TikTok, Second by Second
Thirty seconds is about 75 spoken words. Here is how to spend them, using the octopus script from our test as the example, and what changes once you go past a minute.
0 to 2 seconds: one claim, no greeting
Five or six words that state the most surprising thing you have. "An octopus can open a jar from the inside" beats "Did you know octopuses are smart". If the viewer has to wait for the interesting part, many will not.
2 to 10 seconds: why they should care
About 20 words of context that turn the claim into a question the viewer wants answered. This is where you name what is at stake: how, why, or what it means for them.
10 to 25 seconds: the evidence, one beat per picture
Around 35 words, split into two or three short sentences. Plan one visual change per sentence, which is roughly how the generator’s Visual notes are spaced, so the screen never sits still for long.
25 to 30 seconds: close or loop
Either ask one specific question people can answer in a word, or write a last line that leads straight back into the first one so the replay feels natural. A drawn-out goodbye is the one ending that never works.
Past one minute: add a second hook
TikTok's Creator Rewards Program only counts videos longer than one minute. If you write for that length, open a new question around the halfway mark so viewers who came for the first answer stay for the second. The TikTok money calculator shows whether the longer format is worth it for your views.
