Scripts Overview

Scripts are writing documents for your videos. Use them for full word-for-word scripts, loose outlines, interview plans, scene beats, talking points, or reusable formats.

The useful part is that Scripts live beside the rest of the production work. A Script can link to an Idea, sit in the same Channel as its calendar events and thumbnails, and stay reviewable by your team.

Where Scripts Live

Every Channel has a Scripts page. This is the main gallery for the Channel's documents, including blank Scripts, user-made Script templates, and preloaded frameworks.

You can create a Script in two common places:

• From the Channel's Scripts page.
• From the Scripts tab inside an Idea window.

Use the Scripts page when you are starting from the document. Use the Idea window when you are already planning a specific video and want the Script linked immediately.

Preloaded Scripts vs Script Templates

Preloaded Scripts are built-in frameworks for repeatable video structures. They are not tied to your Channel until you create a Script from one.

For example, a stair-stepping framework helps structure a video that builds from simple to advanced, cheap to expensive, beginner to expert, or problem to solution.

Script templates are templates your team creates. Use them for house formats, recurring series, sponsor reads, livestream run-of-shows, or any structure you reuse.

Link a Script to an Idea

Linking a Script to an Idea keeps the writing attached to the video it supports. That makes it easier to jump between the Idea, Script, Calendar Events, and other production details.

You can link a Script while creating it from an Idea, or use Link to Idea from the Script editor if the Script started on its own.
