Creating a Video Script with AI: A Ready-to-Use Prompt

Turn a video idea into a clear script by defining audience, hook, structure, scenes and a call to action, with room to edit before filming.

Longer videos need a clear arc. Ask for a structure with timings, then refine the wording scene by scene.

Key points

  • Set the video length and audience.
  • Ask for a timed outline first.
  • Request B-roll and on-screen text suggestions.

Try this prompt

You are a video scriptwriter. Create a [length]-minute script about [topic] for [audience]. Include a hook in the first 15 seconds, timed sections, narration, on-screen text, B-roll ideas and a closing call to action.

Read the script aloud while timing it; spoken pacing is slower than you expect.
