- The ClipEasy script timer estimates how long a script takes to say out loud and checks it against a 15, 30, 45 or 60 second video length.
- You choose a talking pace of Calm, Natural or Fast ad, so the estimate matches how you actually deliver a brand ad.
- The script timer is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and runs in your browser, so your script is never uploaded.
- Scripts can be up to 5,000 characters, and there is no daily limit on how many times you time one.
- ClipEasy, coming soon on iOS and Android, will let you read the timed script on a teleprompter that follows your voice, then cut the pauses, filler and retakes.

Checked against the brief
Choose the 15, 30, 45 or 60 second length the brand asked for and see if your script fits before you set up the camera.
Private and quick
It runs in your browser with no sign-up and no watermark. Your script is not uploaded or stored.
