YouTube Video Script Outline Generator
Generate a video script outline from a topic or video title.
Our YouTube outline generator lets you quickly create an outline on any topic, so you can get ready to hit “record” and put your content out there. Whether you want some help developing your existing ideas or you’d like to create outlines from scratch, the video outline generator is here to help.
Some YouTubers work from a line-by-line script—but many prefer to have a clear outline and talk more spontaneously. This tool is designed to give you a detailed enough outline that you can head straight to recording your video (or podcast).
How to Use the Free YouTube Outline Generator (AI-Powered)
The YouTube Outline Generator is really quick and easy to use. Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Enter Your Video Topic or Title
The tool needs to know what your video is all about—so pop in your topic (or your title) here as a starting point. Be as clear and specific as you can.
Not sure about your topic or title yet? Use our YouTube Video Ideas Generator for brainstorming and the YouTube Video Title Generator to come up with a great title.
Step 2. Choose Your Tone & Writing Style
You’ll be adding a lot of your own tone and personality as you record your video, so you might well be happy to stick with the “Default” tone and style option here.
If you want something a little different, there are 20 preset tones & styles to choose from, like “Casual”, “Fun & Quirky”, “Professional”, and “Persuasive”. Just pick one that suits you from the dropdown list.
Step 3. Select the Language for Your Outline (Optional)
If you’re recording in a language other than English, you’ll probably want your outline to be in that language, too. RightBlogger supports over 100 different languages. Just click the dropdown list and scroll down or search for your preferred language.
Once you’re happy with the options you’ve selected, go ahead and hit the “Generate” button. The AI will instantly write your script, improving your title, and giving you clear and well-structured talking points, as well as a call to action and outro suggestions.
Bonus: Use My Free YouTube Recording Checklist Along With This Tool
Having a great script in hand is a huge step toward being ready to record … but there are some other crucial things you need to do too!
Here’s my personal checklist for making sure you’re set up to record a high-quality video.
- Let family members (or anyone who lives with you) know that you’ll be recording—ask them not to interrupt
- Soundproof your room as much as you can, e.g. by shutting the door and windows
- Close any tabs or apps on your computer that you don’t need for the recording
- Take a look at what your camera is seeing: do you need to clear any clutter from your room or adjust the camera?
- Adjust your lighting if you need to, e.g. by turning on extra lights or positioning a ring light in front of you
- Make sure your mic is working well (before you start recording!)
- Have your slideshow or any props ready to go
- Go through a few simple vocal warmups to make sure your voice is strong
- Turn off anything that might make a noise and put your phone on silent/airplane mode
- Record a very short test video to be sure your recording software is working fine
- As you begin the actual video, allow a few seconds of silence at the start (helpful for removing ambient noise when editing)
- Just before you begin on your script, double-check that you pressed record!
How Does the YouTube Video Outline Generator Work?
The AI video outline generator can create a detailed outline on any topic of your choice.
To get the most from it and produce the high-quality content you need, it’s helpful to know how to take advantage of its different features. Let’s dig into those, including the advanced options.
1. Video Title/Topic (Be Clear and Specific)
First, you’ll need to give the AI the title or topic of your video. While the script outline generator will do its best with a vague topic, you’re more likely to get the results you want if you’re specific.
For instance, “Europe Vacations” is a bit vague. “Top 10 European Vacation Destinations for Families With Young Kids” is much better.
Tip: Struggling to narrow down your topic? Run the tool with your broad topic, then pick a specific subheading from the outline to run through the tool again. E.g. when we went with “Europe Vacations”, the first section was on “Why Visit Europe?” which could make a good topic.
2. Tone & Writing Style (Make Your Outline Sound Like You)
Hopefully, you’ll be adding plenty of your personality and brand during the actual recording—but if you want your outline to match your style and vibe, then choose a suitable option from the Tone & Writing Style dropdown.
Here’s a quick look at the difference tone can make. We used the title “Top 10 European Vacation Destinations for Families With Young Kids”.
“Professional” tone:
Introduction
- Start with a warm, friendly greeting.
- Mention how traveling with kids can be fun but requires planning.
- Tease the list: “We’ve gathered ten amazing places in Europe your whole family will love!”
- Briefly explain the focus: child-friendly attractions, ease of travel, and family-oriented activities.
“Fun & Quirky” tone:
Intro (30-45 seconds)
- Start with a fun question: “Planning a European trip but worried about keeping those tiny humans entertained? I got you!”
- Briefly explain the video: “I’ll show you 10 awesome spots in Europe perfect for families with young kids. Think less stress, more memories!”
- Tease the #1 destination: “Stick around for the top spot—it’s got castles and ice cream. A double win!”
As well as the 20 preset tones, you can create your own styles using MyTone. This premium RightBlogger feature (available on the Unlimited plan) lets you add custom tones to your account, which you can then use in any tool. Just select your MyTone from the dropdown list:
You can create your MyTone based on a writing sample (e.g. an existing script) or even from a YouTube video you’ve recorded.
3. Language (Great for Non-English / Multilingual Channels)
If you’re recording videos in a language other than US English, go ahead and select your language from this dropdown. Your script will be automatically created in the language of your choice.
Note that you can also choose from 4 varieties of English here: US, UK, Canada, and Australia. So if you want your script to talk about your favourites instead of your favorites, just choose accordingly!
Here’s a script we generated in Spanish:
4. Keywords to Include (Add Your Primary Keyword Plus Any Secondary Ones)
By clicking the “Keywords to Include & Point of View & More” link, you’ll open up the advanced options for the video script outline generator.
It might seem odd to think about including keywords in your script outline, but it’s useful in a couple of ways:
- If you’re using the outline as the basis of your YouTube video description, or as part of a blog post announcing your video, you’ll want to have your primary keyword in there.
- To further improve your video SEO, you need to say your keyword at some point, so it can appear in the autogenerated transcript. This is taken into account in YouTube’s ranking algorithm.
You can type in as many keywords as you want, though if you add several, the tool may not be able to incorporate them all into your outline. Just separate your keywords with commas.
The AI worked our keywords naturally into the script:
5. Point of View (Are You Focusing on Yourself or on the Viewer?)
Do you want to primarily talk about your experience (using the first person point of view, “I”), talk directly to your audience (the second person, “you”), or use a more detached and neutral point of view (the third person, “they”)?
The AI will make a sensible choice for you, based on your topic—but if you have a specific point of view you definitely want your script to use, just select it here.
6. Target Audience (Who is Your Video Aimed At?)
Who is your video aimed at? Let the AI know about your target audience and it’ll tailor your script to match.
For instance, a video aimed at experienced travelers with kids will cover different content to one aimed at first-time, nervous travelers.
You can simply describe your audience in natural language—the AI will understand perfectly.
In the script we generated, the AI included specific content aimed at this audience, e.g. suggesting:
Closing Remarks
Encourage viewers:
- “Traveling with kids might feel daunting, but Europe offers so many awesome options. With a little planning, it can be a trip your family will never forget.”
7. Additional Instructions (Give the AI Any Extra Requests or Constraints)
Do you have any special requests for the outline script generator?
Perhaps your videos always start with a funny anecdote, and you want to make sure the outline includes that in the script template. Or maybe you want the AI to avoid including a particular country as you already have a video covering vacation destinations there.
Just add any special requests in the Additional Instructions section.
In the generated content, the AI followed our instructions:
Introduction
Start with a funny anecdote:
- “Before taking my first trip abroad with kids, I thought I could pack light. Two hours in, the stroller was piled with snacks, toys, a car seat, and my sanity was nowhere to be found. Sound familiar?”
8. Creativity (Adjust the Slider if Needed)
The AI is automatically set to use a balanced level of creativity during the content creation process. This means that your script shouldn’t be overly predictable and bland … but it also shouldn’t be too wacky and unusual.
If you want to adjust how creative the AI is, simply move the creativity slider.
YouTube Video Outline Generator FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Got questions about how the video script outline generator works? Here’s everything you need to know.
What Should I Include in a YouTube Video Outline?
If you’ve not created an outline for a video before, it can be tricky to know how to structure it. The AI outliner handles this all for you, but if you want to create your own outline for your video content, here are some key sections to include:
- Introduction: Greet your viewers and explain what your video is going to be about, in an engaging way that encourages them to keep watching.
- Key Points: Structure your outline into a series of key points (you might want to use subheadings so it’s easy for you to follow as you’re recording). This section will be the bulk of your outline.
- Closing Remarks: Round off your video by highlighting a key point or tip or giving some encouragement.
- CTA (Call to Action): Ideally, encourage your viewers to do something (e.g. “like and subscribe”).
- Outro: You might have closing music or a specific form of wording you use at the end of your videos.
