You don’t need a film degree to create scroll-stopping videos.
You need a system—and a GPT that thinks like a scriptwriter.
Here’s how to build a short-form video scripting engine that works on autopilot and delivers content that converts.
Step 1: Define Your Video Framework
Choose your format before prompting. Proven structures include:
- Hook → Value → CTA – Educational or promotional
- Problem → Solution → Outcome – Case studies or how-tos
- Story → Insight → Takeaway – Founder moments or lessons learned
Clear frameworks give your GPT guardrails—and help the viewer follow the story arc.
Step 2: Craft a Prompt That Thinks Like You
Instead of:
“Write a video script about lead gen.”
Try:
“You are a B2B SaaS content strategist. Write a 30-second short-form video script for LinkedIn. Audience: growth-stage founders. Tone: bold, actionable. Format: Hook → Problem → Solution → CTA. Topic: Why lead magnets no longer work in 2025.”
You’re telling the GPT who it’s writing for, why it matters, and how it should sound.
Step 3: Generate and Edit Like a Producer
Once you’ve got your draft, edit for:
- Pacing (tight and punchy)
- Spoken tone (cut jargon)
- Time (under 45 seconds for most platforms)
- CTA clarity (no weak closes)
Your GPT gives you 80% of the way. You punch it up for real humans.
Step 4: Add Visual & Audio Notes
Even basic videos benefit from direction like:
- Text overlays
- B-roll ideas
- Background music or sound effects
- On-screen CTA placement
You don’t need a production crew—just enough detail to hand it to your VA or video editor.
Step 5: Build Your Prompt Library
Save your top-performing formats.
Example:
- Prompt Name: Founder Insight Series
- Structure: Story → Insight → CTA
- CTA Style: “DM me if this hits” or “Here’s the link to try this yourself”
Every winning prompt becomes a repeatable content system.
