Custom Script

The Custom Script feature gives you ultimate control over your storytelling. Instead of generating a script from a prompt, you paste your own pre-written narration, and Vidrush transforms it into a complete, voice-narrated video with matching B-roll and motion graphics.

This mode is ideal when you have a specific vision, a pre-optimized script, or need to cover a topic with precise wording.

⚙️ How It Works

When you paste your text, Vidrush skips the drafting phase and immediately moves to production.

  • Automatic Settings: The Format and Duration fields are automatically disabled. The AI calculates the exact video length based on your word count and the reading speed of your chosen voice.
  • Word Limit: The maximum input is 5,200 words, which produces an approximately 40-minute video.

🚀 Smart Features: Automatic CTAs

Vidrush now intelligently analyzes your custom script for Calls to Action (CTAs).

  • How to trigger it: Simply write your sign-off naturally at the end of the script (e.g., “Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe for more history mysteries.”)
  • The Result: The system detects this language and automatically applies the Subscribe CTA Overlay or the “What’s Next” animation template to visually reinforce your request.

📝 The “Clean Script” Rules

The most common cause of generation failure in this mode is improper formatting. The AI reads everything literally. To ensure a smooth production, your script must be “Narration-Ready.”

✅ DO (Best Practices)❌ DON’T (Common Errors)
Narration Only: Include only the exact words to be spoken.Stage Directions: Do not include [PAUSE], [MUSIC SWELLS], or [SHOW MAP]. The AI will ignore or read them.
Single Line Breaks: Separate paragraphs with a single press of “Enter.”Tabs & Indents: Do not use Tab spaces to indent paragraphs. This breaks the TTS engine.
Natural Flow: Write numbers and dates as you want them pronounced.Speaker Labels: Remove NARRATOR: or character names.
Consistent Tone: Ensure the writing matches the visuals you expect.Timestamps: Remove (0:00-2:15) markers.
