How to use a YouTube Video Summarizer

Need a summary of your latest video for the YouTube video description or related promotional assets? Here's how to create one.

Step 1: Create your YouTube script with AI

If you don't already have your video script in written form, use Jasper’s Video Script Outline template to create one. Typically, videos are made up of three basic parts: 

  • The setup
  • The conflict
  • The resolution

However, depending on the video type, you can also use other video script templates. For example, you'll likely need to use a different structure for product explainers than for a how-to video. The great thing is that Jasper can instantly create the right type of outline for your video type based on the video title or topic you enter.

Step 2: Summarize your YouTube video script


Once you’ve finished your script, plug it into Jasper’s Text Summarizer template. You can enter up to 800 characters at a time and select from over 25 languages. Jasper will then create a polished YouTube video summary. It's a quick ad effective way to distill the main points of any video!
