How to use the video script timer.
Calculate and review
Use the main action when needed. Estimated duration in minutes = script word count ÷ speaking rate.
Try a worked example
A 300-word script at 150 words per minute takes about two minutes before long pauses or visual beats.
Check the assumptions
Demonstrations, reactions, retakes and editing rhythm can add substantial time beyond spoken words.
