Produces a timed talking-head script with a hook, spoken-language phrasing, and one b-roll suggestion per section, sized to your video length.
The prompt — fill the [BRACKETS]0 copies
Write a script for a [LENGTH IN SECONDS]-second talking-head video for [PLATFORM, E.G. YOUTUBE / TIKTOK / LINKEDIN]. The speaker is [WHO IS SPEAKING AND WHY THEY ARE CREDIBLE, E.G. A PHYSICAL THERAPIST WITH TEN YEARS OF PRACTICE]. Topic: [TOPIC]. Audience: [WHO IS WATCHING AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW]. Goal: by the end, the viewer should [ONE SPECIFIC OUTCOME, E.G. UNDERSTAND WHY X HAPPENS AND TRY ONE FIX]. Structure the script in four parts and label each with its running time: 1. Hook (first 3 seconds): open with the viewer's problem or a concrete claim, not an introduction of the speaker. 2. Setup (next 15-20 percent): state why the problem happens, in one or two sentences. 3. Body: 2-4 points maximum, each one sentence of claim plus one sentence of example or instruction. 4. Close: restate the single takeaway and give one call to action: [CALL TO ACTION]. Write in spoken language: short sentences, contractions, no jargon the audience would not use themselves. Cut any sentence that cannot be said in one breath. Assume a pace of [WORDS PER MINUTE, DEFAULT 150] words per minute and make the total word count fit the video length. After the script, add a two-column list: for each script section, one b-roll shot or on-screen text suggestion that could replace the talking head for 2-4 seconds, described concretely enough to film or generate.
