UGC script writer: from brief to teleprompter
Say what the video is about. Get hooks, a timed script and a post caption, then read it off the teleprompter while you film.
How does a brief become a script?
Write a UGC script from your product brief: AI hooks in different angles, a timed script, a caption with hashtags, then a teleprompter to read it on.
Five steps, each with a free tool you can use now.

AI edits the take
Pauses cut, every word captioned.
See how it works, in detail
- 1. BriefWhat you sell and who it's for. The brief template has the questions.
- 2. HooksOpening lines in different angles from the hook generator.
- 3. ScriptTimed beats from the script template.
- 4. CaptionThe post caption and hashtags.
- 5. ReadOn the teleprompter, at your speed.
How many words fit in 15, 30 or 60 seconds?
At 150 words a minute, a relaxed talking pace, a 30-second script is about 75 words.
Words that fit at 150 words a minute
| 15 s video | 38 words |
|---|---|
| 30 s video | 75 words |
| 45 s video | 113 words |
| 60 s video | 150 words |
Seconds × 150 ÷ 60. Our 30-second test voice ran at 148 words a minute overall and 187 while talking (pauses left out), measured from its word timings.
Why write three hooks?
The opening line decides who keeps watching. Export one video with three openings and let the numbers pick.
Three versions of one stand-in ad from UGCLive's export, only the hook changed. How to test them: scaling ads with UGC.
What does reading it on camera look like?
The script scrolls at your speed while you film, and holds its place between takes.
UGC script writer questions
Is the script writer free?
The free tools are, with no sign-up: our AI hook, caption, hashtag and idea writers take up to 20 requests a day per visitor. In the web editor, hooks written for your video come with a plan.
Does it write the whole script?
The script template builds the timed beats and you write the lines; our AI writes hooks, captions and ideas. In the UGCLive app, Write my version on an analyzed video writes a full script on that video's pattern.
How long should a UGC script be?
About 38 words for 15 seconds and 75 for 30, at a relaxed 150 words a minute. Read it aloud with a timer before you film.
Can I test more than one hook?
Yes. Put your hooks in the editor's Hooks panel and export A/B/C versions of the same video, only the opening changed.
Do I need a teleprompter?
No, but it cuts retakes: reading the line means fewer fumbles to cut later. The free online teleprompter works with a webcam, and the app has one built into the camera.
How we made this page
The hook and phone pictures are screenshots of the UGCLive app and frames of its export (a stand-in squeegee ad, only the hook changed). The word counts are seconds × 150 ÷ 60; the measured talking speeds come from the word timings of our synthetic test clip 01.
