Yap Formatter

Fill in five beats, typed or said out loud. Get back the script, a score and whether it is worth filming.

Fill in the five beats in rough, typed or said out loud, and leave any you have nothing for. It writes the script from them, in your own words, with each beat scored out of 10 and a verdict on whether to film it.

Every yap, five beats

Hover or tap a beat for its test.

Post all 34 this week.

A bad video that gets no views costs you nothing. Thirty four unposted ones cost you four months.
