Write Viral Video Scripts with AI
A great video starts with a great script. AI can draft scripts quickly, but you need to know the structures that work to prompt it correctly.
Structure of a 30–60 second short video
- Hook (0–3 seconds): a line that makes people stop scrolling
- Problem: name what the viewer is dealing with
- Solution: 2–3 concise points
- Close: invite viewers to follow or comment
Example prompt
"Write a 45-second TikTok script on 3 ways to save on electricity in summer. The audience is homemakers, the tone is friendly. Start with a surprising hook, split it into scenes, and describe the visuals for each scene."
Hook formulas that work
- Ask a question: "Did you know..."
- Use clear numbers: "3 ways to..."
- Challenge a belief: "What you do every day might be wrong..."
- Lead with the result: "My electricity bill dropped by half because..."
Long video scripts for YouTube
Have the AI outline first, such as an introduction, 3–5 main sections, and a conclusion, then write one section at a time. Add your own stories and experiences to bring the video to life. Read more in Start a YouTube Channel with AI.
Make the script conversational
Tell the AI: "Rewrite this in conversational Thai, like people chatting, with short sentences that flow when read aloud." Then try reading it aloud before recording.
Turn it into a video
Add a voiceover to the script, see AI Voiceovers, then edit following the steps in Make Short Videos with AI.
Sample short script
Hook: "Your AC is set to 25 degrees and your bill is still skyrocketing, because you forgot this."
Point 1: "Clean the filter every two weeks so your AC cools faster."
Point 2: "Run a fan alongside it so you can set a higher temperature and still stay cool."
Point 3: "Close the curtains in the afternoon so the room heats up less."
Close: "Try it and tell me how much your bill dropped. Follow for lots more money-saving tricks."
Checklist before recording
- Can the hook be said within 3 seconds?
- Are there any hard-to-pronounce words?
- Is every sentence truly necessary? Cut anything that doesn't add value
Summary
A good script needs a strong hook, concise content, and a clear ending. Let AI draft it, then add your personality. For ready-made prompt sets for creators, see Content Creation Skill.
