A short script is not a long script read quickly. It needs one tension, one understandable proof, and a close that follows naturally.

This breakdown assumes an unfamiliar product and a cold audience. The timestamps guide editing; they are not a rigid formula.

0–5 seconds: a scene, not a claim

Open on the moment before the product: “Every time I put it away wet, it smelled strange the next day.” The line contains an object, a behavior, and friction. The brand name can wait.

5–14 seconds: discovery and mechanism

Introduce the product in use and explain why it may work in one sentence. If the mechanism cannot be made clear that quickly, the video may need a different structure rather than faster delivery.

14–24 seconds: visible proof

Show a reasonable before and after or a controlled use comparison. Captions may identify one detail, but they should not compete with the action or turn the screen into a feature list.

24–30 seconds: conclusion and next step

Return to the original friction, then use a proportional CTA such as “I linked the one I use.” The close works because it completes the story instead of introducing a new sales voice.
