--- title: "Syntale — Write YouTube scripts in scenes, not paragraphs" url: https://syntale.app/ --- [Pricing](https://syntale.app/pricing) [Contact](https://syntale.app/contact) [Login](https://syntale.app/login) [Start free](https://syntale.app/demo) For YouTubers who script before they shoot # Stop writing video scripts in Google Docs Docs doesn't know what a scene is. Syntale does. Break your script into scenes, attach the shot, the visual, and the notes to each one — and walk into your shoot with a plan instead of a wall of text. [Start free](https://syntale.app/demo) Watch the 75-second demo No card. Free plan, forever. ## You already know this feeling The wall of text. Your script is 2,000 words in one column. Finding "that part in the middle" means scrolling and squinting. The shots live somewhere else. Your visual ideas are in a second doc, a Notes app, or your head. By the time you're filming, half of them are gone. The rewrite you regret. You replaced a paragraph with something punchier, hated it, and can't get the old one back. AI video editor ## Your script, cut into a rough edit in Premiere Plan the video in Syntale: the script, the scenes, the clip each one needs. Open Premiere, hit Build, and the AI assistant hands you a first cut. Every scene is split into shots, every shot is trimmed to the line it covers, and graphics scenes are marked as placeholders. You start editing from a timeline, not an empty sequence.

You still make the calls. Cut to the words It drafts a voiceover from your script and times every shot to it, word by word. Record the real VO later and each scene re-times to it. Finds the moment Point a scene at a 20-minute clip and it finds the seconds that match the line, from a search index of your footage built on your own machine. Your calls win Clips you chose in the storyboard are never swapped. The AI fills only the gaps you allow, and color-labels every clip it picked. Scene markers ## Scenes, not paragraphs Drop a marker and your script splits into a scene. Drag scenes to reorder the whole video. Every scene holds its own notes, its own visuals, its own production details — attached to the words they belong to, not floating in another file. A 9-scene video essay, restructured in about four seconds. And every scene is one click away in the sidebar. Storyboard ## A storyboard that stays attached to the script Each scene becomes a row: visual, location, duration, complexity, notes. Change the script and the board moves with it. When you sit down to shoot, the plan is already written — because you wrote it while you were writing. Every board cell links back to the exact scene it came from. Versions ## Try the risky version without losing the safe one Every paragraph can hold multiple versions. Write the punchy open, keep the clear one, switch between them while you read the whole script back. Nothing gets overwritten. (This is also where the AI rewrite lives — it suggests a version, you decide whether to keep it. It never touches your draft directly.) Three takes on the same hook, side by side. A suggested version lands next to yours — it never replaces it. [Start your first script free](https://syntale.app/demo) ## Docs is free. So is Syntale.

Send it to me Comes as a Syntale project you can open immediately, plus Notion and PDF versions. One email, then you're on the list — leave whenever. Built for YouTubers and video creators who write a script before they record — video essays, tutorials, explainers, faceless channels. Solo creators and two-person teams. Not built for (yet) Feature screenwriters who need industry formatting, and production companies who need call sheets and scheduling. Celtx and StudioBinder do that better than we will for a while. ## Simple, transparent pricing Start free, scale as you grow monthlyyearly ### Free Perfect for trying out Syntale $0 3 projects 10,000 AI characters / month No export Limited version history Scene markers & navigation Storyboard view Community support [Start Free](https://syntale.app/demo) Popular ### Pro For teams and professionals Coming Soon Everything in Free Unlimited projects 200,000 AI characters / month Export to PDF/DOCX/TXT/CSV Project-level version history Priority support Coming Soon ### Enterprise Custom solutions for teams and organizations Custom Everything in Pro Custom integrations & workflows SSO/SAML Dedicated success manager Uptime SLA Priority support Volume licensing [Contact Sales](https://syntale.app/contact) ## Your next video starts as a script anyway Might as well write it somewhere that knows what you're building.
