Script TimerFree Video Tools
13 free tools for planning, scripting, formatting, and testing video, built from the questions that come up on real productions. No signup, nothing uploaded, and the output is yours to keep.
Envy Creative has delivered over 5,000 videos since 2016, and the same questions arrive before almost every one of them: how long should this be, what will it cost, will the caption survive TikTok's interface, is this ad tired yet. Answering them early is most of the difference between a production that lands and one that gets recut twice.
So each tool below does one of those jobs. The calculators use benchmarks from live campaigns rather than generic industry averages, and the spec checkers track what the platforms actually publish. Nothing runs on a server: the safe zone checker reads your file locally in the browser, and the rest work from the numbers you type. Use them on your own projects, your clients' projects, or to sanity check a quote from someone else.
