The 4-beat Shorts script template you fill in 5 minutes

The 4-beat Shorts script template you fill in 5 minutes
Stop staring at a blank page. Drop your topic into this skeleton.
— Beat 1 (0-3s): the claim or conflict, no preamble — 'Most caption apps are wasting your money'
— Beat 2 (3-8s): the stakes or 'why you' — make them feel the cost of not knowing
— Beat 3 (8-40s): the payoff in 3 concrete steps, one sentence each
— Beat 4 (last 3s): the loop-back or a single CTA, never both
Tool: any notes app. Don't buy a 'script generator' for a 4-line format.
Verdict: write the hook last, after you know the payoff — it's easier and sharper. Skip AI script tools here; the format is short enough to out-write them. Not for people who improvise 60-second rambles.
