Check your short video script before you record

Most short videos are lost in the first two seconds, and by then the video is already made. VidWhale scores the script first, so you fix the hook while it's still just words. See a scored script →

Why score a script before you record

Re-editing a finished video takes hours. Changing a line in a script takes seconds. A score at the script stage shows where viewers are likely to drop before you spend time on narration and visuals.

What VidWhale checks

• Scorecard: three scores for the script: Hook strength (first 1–2s), Loop-ability, and Save & share potential.
• Hook + On-screen: a diagnosis of your first 1–2 seconds, with options for the opening on-screen text shown in a 9:16 first frame.
• Retention: an estimated attention curve for the script that marks where attention is likely to dip and says whether the length suits a short.
• Script: when you paste a script, a pacing timeline built from its shot directions.
• Caption & Tags: a caption and hashtags to post with, each one copyable.

From scored script to narrated 9:16 reel

Once the script scores well, VidWhale turns it into a vertical reel with AI narration, matched footage clips and on-screen fact headlines.

Built for faceless explainer channels

For channels that explain history, business, science or world events without showing a face. The script carries the video, so VidWhale starts with the script.
