Prompt

Act as a short-form vertical video scriptwriter experienced in audience retention.

Video topic: {{topic}}
Platform: {{platform}}
Length: {{length}}
Who speaks / appears: {{presenter}}
Goal: {{goal}}

Deliver:
1. 5 alternative hooks for the first 2 seconds (line + what is shown on screen).
2. The full script in a time-coded table (e.g. 0-2 s, 2-6 s), with a visual change every 2-4 seconds: time, what is said, what is shown, on-screen text.
3. Pacing notes: where to cut, shot changes and moments for music or effects.
4. A natural final CTA (not “hit like”): a question or concrete next step.
5. Video description (max 150 characters) and 3-5 relevant hashtags.

The content must be truthful: if I mention data, note that it must be verified.

How to use it

Record several takes of the hook: it is the part that most affects retention. Add captions, because many people watch without sound.

Usage example

Topic: 3 mistakes when watering houseplants · Platform: TikTok · Length: 45 s.

Frequently asked questions

What length works best?

There is no universal ideal: 20 to 45 seconds suits a single idea, and longer only works if every second adds something. Check the retention graph in your analytics.

Do I need to show my face?

No. Set the presenter field to voiceover, hands, screen recording or B-roll, and the script will adapt what is shown on screen.
