Anatomy of a high-retention faceless Short
Every scene has a job. Understanding the structure helps you judge the output and refine it.
Stop the scroll. One bold statement, statistic, or question that creates an open loop the viewer must close.
Establish the problem, stakes, or context. Why should the viewer care about the next 45 seconds?
Deliver the value — the facts, steps, or insight promised by the hook. Dense, punchy, one idea per scene.
Close the loop and direct the action. Like, follow, comment — one action only, stated clearly.
Frequently asked questions
What is a script outline for YouTube Shorts?
A script outline is a scene-by-scene blueprint for a short-form video. It specifies what happens on screen (visual cue) and what is spoken (narration) for each scene, along with the duration of each scene in seconds. For a 60-second Short, a typical outline has 6 scenes of 8–12 seconds each, plus a 3-second hook at the start and a 3-second call-to-action at the end. The outline is the structural layer — it tells you what to say and what to show in what order, before you record or generate anything. For faceless creators using AI video tools, the outline is often the only 'writing' step before handing off to the generation pipeline.
How is this script outline designed for faceless video?
Most script generators write in first-person ('I', 'we', 'my') — which is natural for talking-head creators but sounds unnatural in AI narration. This generator uses third-person or universal framing throughout, designed for AI voice narration and skeleton-character animation. Visual cues are written for simple 2D animation — not 'show the creator walking into a coffee shop' but 'skeleton character sitting at desk, papers piling up' — so they work directly with tools like Leaxor. Narration lines are capped at 20 words per scene to maintain the fast pacing that YouTube Shorts viewers expect. The hook is separated as its own distinct element because it's the highest-leverage part of the video.
What duration should I choose for my YouTube Short?
YouTube Shorts must be under 60 seconds to qualify for the Shorts feed. However, the optimal performing length depends on your niche and content density. 30-second Shorts work well for single-fact explainers, shocking statistics, or quick how-to steps — they have the highest completion rates but leave less room to develop an idea. 60-second Shorts are the most versatile for faceless channels: enough time for a hook, 4–6 key points, and a call-to-action, while still qualifying for the Shorts feed. 90-second Shorts are technically in the Shorts feed if you upload vertically, but they underperform 60-second videos on average completion rate. For new channels, 60 seconds is the recommended default.
Can I use this outline directly in Leaxor?
Yes — the outline is designed to map directly to Leaxor's generation pipeline. In Leaxor, you type a topic prompt, and the AI generates the script, animations, narration, and captions. If you paste your topic with the hook from the outline, Leaxor will use that as the creative direction for the script. More directly: you can use the scene-by-scene structure as a reference while reviewing Leaxor's generated video — if a generated scene doesn't match your outline's visual cue, you can regenerate that scene. The script outline tool helps you think through the structure before generation so you spend less time on revision.
Is the script outline generator free?
Yes — 100% free, no account, no email, no credit card. Generate outlines for any topic at any duration as many times as you want. The tool is powered by GPT-4o with a lower temperature than the hook generator, meaning it produces more structured and consistent outlines rather than creative variations. Each outline includes a hook, all scenes with duration, visual cues, and narration, plus a call-to-action line. The complete output gives you everything you need to understand the video's structure before you generate or film it.
