Pacing Benchmark Spoken Rhythm Standard

How many words fit into a 60-second video script?

A 60-second short-form script requires between 130 and 150 spoken words at an average conversational pace of 2.2 to 2.5 words per second. Documentary essays pace at 130 WPM, standard explainers pace at 150 WPM, and high-energy shorts allow up to 165 WPM. Any script exceeding 175 words for a 60-second video forces breathless delivery and spikes viewer drop-off.

• 30-Sec Reel: 65–75 words
• 60-Sec Short: 130–150 words
• 90-Sec Explainer: 200–225 words
Industry Benchmark Screenplay Format Standard

How many minutes of screen time does one script page equal?

In standard film industry formatting (Courier 12pt font, 1.5-inch left margin, 1-inch right margin), one formatted screenplay page equals approximately one minute (60 seconds) of screen time. Dialogue-heavy scenes play faster at 45 to 50 seconds per page, while action-heavy or suspenseful sequences average 75 to 90 seconds per page.

• 15-Page Short: ~15–18 mins
• 60-Page TV Pilot: ~52–58 mins
• 105-Page Feature: ~1 hr 45 mins
