Write a punchy script for a short video or reel
You want to make a short video for social media but don't know what to say. Get a script with a strong hook, helpful content, and a clear ending.
Copy this prompt
I want to record a short video about [topic]. Platform: [TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts]. The main thing I want people to learn or feel: [one key takeaway]. My style: [e.g. friendly teacher, funny storyteller, calm explainer]. Please write a 30-60 second script that grabs attention in the first 3 seconds, delivers the main point, and ends with a simple call to action.
When to use this
You have something interesting to share but staring at a camera with no plan is intimidating. A short video script gives you the structure you need to feel confident and keep your message tight.
Why this works
Short-form video lives and dies by the hook — the first 3 seconds that make someone stop scrolling. The AI structures your idea around that hook, then delivers your point efficiently and wraps with a clear action. It's a formula that works, without sounding like a formula.
Follow-up ideas
- "Make it shorter — around 15 seconds, just the hook and the point."
- "Give me a version that's more playful and uses trending audio style."
- "Suggest 3 on-screen text overlays that would work with this script."
