Video / Plan a 30-second tutorial

YouTube short script prompt

Turn verified notes into a short script with a hook, three scenes, and one useful takeaway.

The prompt

Context
I am producing a short tutorial about [topic]. Source notes: [your verified notes].

Audience
[specific audience and experience level]

Goal
Teach one useful idea in a 30-second video.

Constraints
Use natural spoken English. Use only the source notes. Do not invent facts, results, or testimonials. Mark missing information as [CHECK]. Keep narration around 60–75 words and flag if it needs more time.

Output
A hook, three scenes with narration and on-screen text, and one practical takeaway. Separate narration from production notes.

How to use

  1. Replace every bracketed field with relevant, non-sensitive context.
  2. Paste your own source material and specify the audience.
  3. Copy the prompt into your preferred assistant and review its response.
  4. Read the narration aloud and time it before recording.

Example input

Audience: first-time founders. Topic: planning three weekly posts. Notes: create a table with Idea, Due date, Status; choose three questions customers actually ask.

Example output

Illustrative example written for this guide—not a recorded model result.

Hook: Too many ideas, but nothing published?
Scene 1: Create three columns: Idea, Due date, Status.
Scene 2: Add three questions your customers ask.
Scene 3: Give each a date and update the status when it is ready.
Takeaway: Plan three useful posts before adding more ideas.

Tips

Read the narration aloud and time it before recording. Ask for one targeted revision at a time and keep track of which instruction improved the draft.
