How I Write & Use SCRIPTS for YouTube Videos

Nothing spectacular but since a few of you have asked, why not share it, right...? 🤷🏻‍♂️😎🔥

That's a cool approach and way less stressful. I may adapt that into something for me. Thanks!

Thanks for this! Short and to the point.

Loved this video man! Thank you.

As a YT rookie, I started without teleprompter. Or any scripts. I just thought to myself I'm gonna improvise as I do when talking to people. But boy was I wrong. It would take me an hour or more to record 10 minutes of usable footage. So a couple of months ago, I got myself a teleprompter, and got into habit of writing scripts. Probably the best investment into my channel ever. A 10-minut video now has like 20 minutes of footage, so I also lose way less time in editing. Not going back anytime soon, although I do have to work on my presentation. Which will come with time and practice. Thanks Joris, you're a big inspiration and source of knowledge!

Thanks for this!

That is exactly what I needed! I'm also a non-native English speaker and I find it difficult to speak spontaneously the whole script. It's hard, but manageable.

🎉 - building concepts and bullet points with Keywords first..... fantastic. And not skipping broll.
Great video bro - subbed 🎉

You have no Idea how much you've helped me. It might seem simple to you but this doesn't come naturally to me. I always spoke the script word for word and you can see me looking at the teleprompter and there are tons of jump cuts 😅

👍👍

I use same method, thanks for the idea with yellow parts! How often do you usually repeat a part before you are satisfied?

Amazing advice! It's definitely help on my scripts for my travel vlog in my channel 🙏

What a Timing! I was working on the script for my next video and then got notification about this! The keyword tip , Really Helpful

I have to admit I do the scripts but I feel very scripted when I use them, I try to remember pieces but also get tongue-tied, I think I will give your tips a try sounds like it works better.👍

Wonderful technique Joris! I make my videos exactly as you do, I use keywords on the script and then create the concept directly in recording!

I just like your character man! Dope guy!

Long awaited scripting method. Love your transparency bruh. ❤

DUDE!!! This is brilliant!

Thanks. Good food for thought :)

I am doing that in a similar way. Mostly technical so i have a lot of notes.

Nice!!

This is exactly how I do it, but I still need to practice how to be a bit more comfortable and “free” on camera. Thanks for the video!

I really appreciate that this video isn’t 18 minutes long :)

how do you do thubmnails? is there a free versoin of it or replacement

Thank you for sharing. It is an inspiration for non-native speakers.

I went from fully scripted, right to totally unscripted, then back to fully scripted.. I think I might switch to "talking points" style notes instead

This has me motivated to try talking to camera 🫡

Thanks for sharing your approach! It's enlightening to see how others structure their process. I've been on the hunt for "the right way" for my own work. Currently, I use a table in my writing program with three columns: the exact script, the visual elements like effects and memes, and the audio cues. Always evolving and learning!

Great! Can you tell the power of the light :) ?

Ahh, short segments! That is where I'm going wrong in talking-head— trying to do really long takes. Yeah, why try long takes when I end up cutting due to all the mistakes anyway?! I like the tip on yellow highlighting the B-roll but I don't have my B-roll script within the A-roll script, just this symbol— [B-roll] —to let me know I expect to add some B-roll there. That is because I haven't nailed down yet what B-roll I will actually be able to find at my 3rd-party resources. Also, I have a never-used teleprompter still in the box because it just seems like too much hassle and effort. IMHO, you do things really right, and I don't. So I appreciate this particular video you have shared and will be giving it a lot of thought as I Hermans-ize my process. Thank you.

Hi Joris, I have a question. How to set up a yoga studio for streaming or recording lessons? Thank you

I do something similar for presentations. You have only the key information available. What’s the take home message, so what, and then add meat to the bones. Then practice until it’s fluent.

Great advice - thanks as always, Joris 🙏🤘
