Written to the clock
A 15-second ad has room for very few words. The script is told to keep the spoken words within the length you picked, so the voice-over is not rushed when you record it.
DFIRST Video script is a video script generator for ads that turns a short brief into a timed script of 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Each scene has its timing, what we see and the narration, and the script ends on one call to action. The spoken words are kept within the length you choose.
Example scripts in the shape the tool returns: time, picture and words for each scene.
0 to 3 s. Visual: a sunlit Barcelona street, heat over the pavement. Narration: “It's that time of the afternoon.”
3 to 8 s. Visual: a hand takes a cold ZESTA Lime from a café fridge; the can opens with a hiss. Narration: “Time for something cold.”
8 to 12 s. Visual: close-up of the bubbles, the can on a café table. Narration: “Sparkling citrus water. Zero sugar.”
12 to 15 s. Visual: the can raised against the sky, ZESTA logo. Narration: “ZESTA Lime.”
Closing CTA: Squeeze the day.
0 to 6 s. A dark street before sunrise. Narration: “Nobody's watching at this hour.”
6 to 14 s. Laces pulled tight on cobalt shoes; the door opens onto wet asphalt. Narration: “You go anyway.”
14 to 24 s. Low tracking shot, the shoes splash through puddles as the sky turns blue. Narration: “Mile after mile, the city wakes up around you.”
24 to 30 s. The runner stops and breathes, KINETRA logo. Narration: “KINETRA.”
Closing CTA: Built for every mile.
Three steps. The first one starts on this page.
Say what the ad is about, where it will run and the line it should end on, then pick 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
DFIRST splits the length into scenes. Each one has a time range, what the camera shows and the narration, and the spoken words fit the duration.
The script is saved to your session and Data Room. Shoot it on a phone, record the narration as a voice-over, or turn the scenes into a storyboard and a film.

Paste the narration into Voiceover for a recorded voice, and the scenes into Storyboard to video, which draws the frames for you to approve before anything is filmed.

About Video script and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.
Describe the ad in the box above: the product, the moment you want to show and the line it should end on. Pick 15, 30 or 60 seconds. DFIRST returns a timed script with scenes, visuals, narration and a closing call to action, written to fit the length.
Yes. Choose 15 or 30 seconds and say in the brief that the video is for TikTok or Reels, and who it is for. You get short timed scenes with the narration for each, ending on one call to action.
Yes. For a YouTube ad or a longer product film, pick 30 or 60 seconds. Put anything the ad must do into the brief, such as showing the product in the first seconds, and the scenes are written from it.
The script is told to keep the spoken words within the duration you choose. Read it aloud once before you record: speaking speed differs between voices and languages, so a line may still need trimming for a fast cut.
Yes, in steps. Paste the scenes into Storyboard to video to see them drawn as frames you approve, and then filmed. Paste the narration into Voiceover for a recorded voice. Nothing is published for you, so you decide what goes out.
Your video script draft waits on this device until your access starts. DFIRST opens to people on the waitlist first.
