What are video scripts in Looky?

Video scripts in Looky are for owners, founders and consultants who talk more easily than they write and want to show up on Reels, Shorts, TikTok or LinkedIn video. You record a voice note in Looky or pick a topic. Looky transcribes the recording, you approve the transcript, and Looky writes a 30, 60 or 90 second script from your words and approved knowledge: a hook for the first seconds, spoken text in short sentences, shot ideas, on-screen text and a call to action. The same recording can also become a LinkedIn post or an article. You edit and approve the script, then record the video yourself: Looky doesn't make videos.

From idea to recording

How does Looky write a video script?

Options

How does Looky compare with other ways to get a video script?

Looky's video scripts fit when you want scripts from your own words and knowledge, with approval, next to the rest of your content; a general AI chat is quicker for a one-off script, and a video agency also films and edits.

Where the alternatives are better: a general AI chat is faster and cheaper for a single script; a video agency delivers a finished, edited video; dedicated voice-note apps focus on LinkedIn text posts and may fit if that is all you need.

FAQ

Questions about video scripts

All questions

Does Looky create the video or a voiceover?

No. Looky writes the video script with hook, spoken text, shot ideas, on-screen text and a call to action. You record the video yourself, with your own face and voice, which is what makes short videos personal. Looky doesn't generate videos, avatars or voiceovers and doesn't publish videos to any platform.

Can I use a voice note to create a video script?

Yes. Record a voice note in Looky, or upload an audio file of up to 50 MB (m4a, mp3, wav or webm). Looky transcribes it, you correct and approve the transcript, and only then can you create a video script, a post or an article from it. Looky builds on your words and adds no stories or results that are not in your material.

What is in a Looky video script?

A Looky video script has a hook for the first seconds, the spoken text in short sentences, a list of shot ideas, lines of on-screen text and a closing call to action. Scripts are written from your approved knowledge and brand voice, and you can edit every part before you approve it.

How long are Looky video scripts?

You choose 30, 60 or 90 seconds, and Looky fits the spoken text to it at about 2.5 words per second, so a one-minute script has roughly 150 spoken words. Read it aloud once before recording; if it runs long, use the shorten action on the passage.

Which languages do Looky video scripts support?

English and German. German scripts address viewers with the informal “du”. You can translate a script between English and German in the editor, for example to record the same video in both languages.

Can a client approve a video script before recording?

Yes. Video scripts are reviewed as a whole item under the workspace's approval settings. Agencies can require a client approval, so the client approves or requests changes through a link before anyone films. If the script is edited after approval, it goes back for a new decision.

Can the same idea become a post or an article too?

Yes. The topic you pick for a script can also become a LinkedIn post, a blog article or another format in content creation, all written from the same approved knowledge. Each item is reviewed and approved on its own.
