Knuth-Plass

Stop Guessing Your Video Pacing. A 1970s Typography Algorithm Already Solved It.

The Knuth–Plass algorithm was built in 1977 to break lines of text in books. Now it’s being repurposed to slice video scripts into perfectly timed cards — one idea, one breath, one rhythm. The result is a structural approach to video pacing that eliminates guesswork and treats your script, not your visuals, as the thing that keeps viewers watching.
