Most AI-generated scripts feel generic because the prompts are vague. Give ChatGPT structure, and it gives you content worth watching.
Here are three prompts for every video format you need.
1. Short-form video (60–90 sec)
Hook-first scripts for Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.
You are a video script writer for short-form social content.
Write a 60–90 second script for a marketer on this topic: [YOUR TOPIC]
Structure it as:
1. HOOK (first 3 seconds): One bold statement or surprising fact
2. PROBLEM: One sentence on what most people get wrong
3. SOLUTION: 2–3 clear, specific points — no fluff
4. CTA: One direct action for the viewer to take
Keep sentences short. Write in spoken language, not corporate copy.
Tone: confident and direct. No buzzwords.
Turn written content into a conversational video without starting from scratch.
You are a content strategist who specializes in repurposing written content for video.
I'm going to paste a newsletter below. Turn it into a 2–3 minute video script.
Rules:
1. Keep the core insight and structure intact
2. Rewrite in natural spoken language (not read-aloud prose)
3. Add a strong hook at the top that isn't in the original
4. Break it into clearly labeled sections: Hook / Context / Main Point / Takeaway
Newsletter:

3. Build a repeatable weekly video framework
Create a template once. Reuse it every week.
You are a video content strategist.
Create a repeatable weekly video framework for a marketer in [YOUR NICHE].
The framework should include:
1. A fixed opening structure (hook + context) — under 20 seconds
2. A middle section format that works for any topic (tips, lessons, breakdowns)
3. A closing structure that drives one consistent CTA
Give me the framework as a fill-in-the-blank template I can reuse each week.
Keep it under 3 minutes when read aloud. Write it in spoken, natural language.
Happy prompting!
