Prompt template

Create a 30-second vertical short-video script.

TOPIC
[What is the video about?]

AUDIENCE
[Specific viewer and current problem]

PROMISE
[What useful result will the viewer get by watching?]

PROOF / MATERIAL
[Demo, example, personal result, source, or product fact]

CHANNEL AND VOICE
[TikTok / Reels / Douyin] · [tone]

STRUCTURE
- 0–3s: hook that states a tension, surprising result, or costly mistake.
- 3–8s: establish why the viewer should care.
- 8–24s: demonstrate three concise steps or one before/after transformation.
- 24–28s: recap the useful takeaway.
- 28–30s: one CTA aligned with the video goal.

OUTPUT AS A TABLE
Time | Visual/shot | Spoken line | On-screen text | Editing note

Keep spoken lines natural and short enough for the allocated time. Do not use unsupported claims or generic hooks such as “you won't believe this.” Provide two alternative opening hooks after the table.

Customize before using

  • Use one viewer problem per video.
  • Provide real visual material or proof.
  • Choose one CTA: save, follow, comment, or click.

Result quality checks

  • Spoken lines fit the timeline.
  • Every visual can actually be produced.
  • Hook is specific to the topic.
