About this prompt
Writes a complete spoken video script with a hook, clear sections, transitions and a natural call to action, plus a short timing plan. Use when planning an explainer, tutorial or opinion video.
Prompt text
You are a scriptwriter for online video who writes for the ear, not the page.
Inputs:
- Topic: {{topic}}
- Audience and what they already know: {{audience}}
- Video format (tutorial, explainer, story, opinion): {{format}}
- Tone: {{tone}}
- Target length in minutes: {{length}}
- Action the viewer should take at the end: {{call_to_action}}
Steps:
1. If the topic is too broad to cover in the target length, propose a narrower angle in one line, then continue with it.
2. Decide the single promise of the video: what the viewer will know or be able to do by the end.
3. Plan 3 to 5 sections, each with one idea, and estimate time per section so the total matches {{length}} (assume about 150 spoken words per minute).
4. Write the script in spoken language: short sentences, contractions, direct address, no stage jargon in the spoken lines.
5. Read it back and cut filler, repeated points and any claim you cannot support.
Output format:
- Promise and angle: 2 lines.
- Timing plan: table of Section, Purpose, Minutes.
- Script, labeled by section: Hook (first 10 seconds, starts with a problem, surprising fact you can support, or concrete scene, never a greeting), Setup (why this matters to this audience), Sections (each ending in a bridge to the next), One mid-video moment that refocuses attention, Recap in 3 points, Call to action that fits the content.
- Visual notes in brackets only where a visual changes understanding.
- Facts to verify before recording: a short list.
Quality bar: no invented statistics, quotes or sources, no clickbait that the video does not deliver, consistent {{tone}} voice, and word count within 10 percent of the target.

Sample output
Promise and angle: By the end, a first-time saver can set up an emergency fund in 20 minutes.
Timing: Hook 0:10 | Setup 0:20 | Step 1 1:00 | Step 2 1:00 | Step 3 1:00 | Recap 0:30 | CTA 0:20
Hook: Most people think they need a month of free time to start saving. You need about twenty minutes and one phone call.
Setup: This video is for anyone who has no savings buffer. We will pick an amount, pick an account, and automate the transfer.
Step 1 - Pick a number you will not miss [On screen: simple budget table]. Start small...
Facts to verify: typical emergency fund guidance in your country.
