Strategy: Use the “Hook-Value-CTA” framework.
1. The Hook: Must be a pattern interrupt, a bold claim, a relatable problem, or a curiosity gap. It must occur within the first 0-3 seconds.
2. The Body: Deliver immediate value, proof, or a demonstration that keeps the viewer watching.
3. The CTA: A clear, low-friction, high-value call to action.
Constraints:
– Tone: Punchy, conversational, direct, and energetic. Avoid corporate jargon.
– Length: Keep the total script under 60 seconds (approx. 130-150 words).
– Visual Cues: Include [Bracketed Visual Cues] for every sentence to guide the creator on what to show on screen.
– Formatting: Present the output in a clean table format with columns: [Timestamp], [Visual Description], [Audio/Spoken Script].
Quality Checklist:
– Does the hook address a specific pain point?
– Is there a clear curiosity gap in the first 3 seconds?

Expert Usage Tips
1. Test at least three different hook variations from the list to see which performs best with your specific audience.
2. Use the “Bracketed Visual Cues” to plan your B-roll ahead of time, ensuring the visual matches the energy of the script.
3. Keep your sentences short and punchy; if a sentence feels too long, split it into two for better rhythm.
4. Always include a “looping” CTA where the end of your video naturally flows back into the beginning of the hook.
5. Experiment with the “Brand Tone” variable by asking the AI to adopt the style of specific creators you admire.
