🧩 Step 1: Understand What Makes Short-Form Videos Work

Short-form videos succeed because they grab attention fast, deliver value, and end with an action.

✅ Core Elements of a Great Short Video Script:

1. Hook (0–3 sec): Capture interest instantly.
2. Value (4–45 sec): Deliver useful, funny, or emotional content.
3. CTA (46–60 sec): Encourage viewers to like, share, or comment.

💬 Example:

“Stop scrolling! Here’s how AI can help you write an entire blog in 60 seconds…”

💡 Step 2: Use ChatGPT to Generate Script Ideas

AI tools like ChatGPT can generate creative, platform-specific script ideas in seconds.

🧠 Prompt Example:

“Generate 3 short-form video ideas about digital marketing trends for 2025. Each idea should include a hook, main message, and call-to-action.”

You can refine your results using Excel to track engagement metrics and choose the most effective concepts.

🎥 Step 3: Structure Your Script for Maximum Engagement

Once you have your idea, use ChatGPT or Excel to outline your script in a simple table format.

💡 Use Power BI to later analyze which videos perform best by engagement rate or watch time.

🧠 Step 4: Generate the Script Text with ChatGPT

Ask ChatGPT to expand your outline into a full short-form script.

Example Prompt:

“Write a 60-second Instagram Reel script that teaches beginners how to use AI for content marketing. Use a friendly, energetic tone.”

You’ll receive a ready-to-read script with scene directions, camera cues, and transitions.

💬 Pro Tip:

Use Figma to visualize your video layout — scene by scene — before recording.

⚙️ Step 5: Add Voice and Visual Suggestions

AI tools can also help you decide how the video should look and sound.

Tools to Try:

• ChatGPT → Generate voiceover text and tone suggestions.
• Canva Video Editor → Add animations and captions.
• CapCut or Descript → Automatically sync AI voiceovers with visuals.

💡 Example:

“Use upbeat background music + white text overlay on bold backgrounds for tech topics.”

📊 Step 6: Test and Optimize Using Analytics

Once your video is published, analyze its performance using:

• YouTube Studio or Instagram Insights for engagement data.
• Excel or Power BI to compare reach, watch time, and conversions.

By reviewing your analytics weekly, you can refine future AI prompts and improve your script quality.

🧭 Step 7: Automate Your Script Creation Workflow

Want to produce multiple video scripts quickly?

Create a template-driven workflow in ChatGPT:

Prompt Template:
"Write a short-form video script about [TOPIC] for [PLATFORM]. 
Include: Hook, 3 key points, and a call-to-action in under 60 seconds. 
Tone: [Friendly/Professional/Inspirational]."

💬 Bonus Tip:
