How do I turn a YouTube video into a script?

Copy a public YouTube video URL, paste it into YTD.APP, analyze the source, and generate hooks, scene ideas, captions, and a script draft.

Can I generate scripts from non-YouTube videos?

Supported public social videos and public video file URLs can be used when the provider can access and process the source.

What can the AI video script generator create?

It can help create hooks, scene beats, short-form script drafts, captions, CTAs, and repurposing ideas.

Why does script generation fail?

The video may be private, deleted, restricted, region-blocked, unavailable, or missing usable transcript/source data.

Does script generation use the transcript and summary?

Yes. Script drafts can build from transcript and AI summary context so the output stays connected to the source video.

Is the YouTube Script Generator free?

720p, 1080p, 2K, available 4K, and 320kbps or multi-track audio require Pro subscription credits or purchased credits.

Can I publish generated scripts commercially?

Only reuse or repurpose content you own, have permission to use, or that is licensed for that use.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Use Safari, Chrome, or another modern mobile browser.

Can I save scripts to workspace?

Yes. Processed scripts, outlines, summaries, transcripts, and source details can be saved to workspace.

Can private YouTube videos be converted to scripts?

No. Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable videos may not be accessible.
