Make Videos 3X Faster With AI

Here’s 10 Prompts For Video Ideas, Hooks & Scripts PLUS 2 AI Text-to-video Tools

Making videos is hard — it takes hours to gather ideas, separate the good ones from the bad, then write a script that might not even have a 1% chance to go viral, and finally actually create the video. Luckily, AI can help you do this much, much faster.

In this post, we’ll cover:

• Why you need to use AI for content creation

• 6 prompts for video ideas & hooks

• 4 prompts for viral YouTube & TikTok scripts

• 2 AI tools that turn text into videos

AI Can Do 60% of Content Creation For You

Creating content is already stressful enough. Having an AI handle the writing side of content is a huge help — this way, you can focus on actually making the visuals of your videos eye candy for your audience.

Fleshing out an idea into a script can feel like the GIF above — but on loop for at least 3 hours.

AI can generate ideas and write scripts faster and better than most people — and if you could have a machine do 60% of the work for you, then why pass up?

We’ve tested 25+ different prompts for ideas, scripts & hooks and found 10 that can save you hours of time & effort. Let’s start with prompts that can generate eye-catching ideas for TikTok & YouTube.

These Ideas Can Get You Millions of Views

First, we must mention that writing your own prompts can be worse than using already tried and tested prompts — this is because the structure of a prompt has to be perfect for AI to really “get it”.

But, in case you do want to write your own prompts — we have our own prompt formula that’ll help you get good outputs from AI, check it out in our post here:

Prompt Engineering Is Easy

Without further ado, here are 3 plug-and-play prompts for generating winning TikTok & YouTube ideas.

1. You are a creative video content expert. Generate 10 unique and engaging video ideas for a [TikTok/YouTube] channel focused on [insert niche or topic, e.g. fitness, cooking, travel]. Each idea should be around 1-2 sentences long and include potential video titles

The above prompt is great for general idea generation, and if you want to get niched-down ideas, check out this one here:

2. Provide a list of 8 trending video concepts for TikTok/YouTube that would appeal to a [demographic, e.g. teenage, millennial] audience interested in [niche]. The ideas should be creative, attention-grabbing, and suitable for short-form video content

And if you want to use TikTok or YouTube to promote or showcase a product (very useful now that TikTok Shop is out), this prompt is perfect for you:

3. You are a viral video strategist. Come up with 5 [TikTok/YouTube] video ideas that showcase [product/service] in an entertaining and shareable way. The videos should be around 30-60 for seconds long and incorporate humor, relatable situations, or popular trends.

You’ve got the ideas, and now you need a catchy hook that can stop scrolls. AI can do this, too!

Hooks That Stop The Scrolling

With TikTok & YouTube shorts nowadays — everyone is scrolling, a LOT. It’s become more important than ever before to have an extremely pattern-breaking and attention-grabbing hook, and AI can do that for you effortlessly.

P.S — This applies to long-form even more than short-form, cause who’s going to watch a 20-minute YouTube video if you didn’t spike their curiosity within the first 10 seconds?

Here are 3 prompts for generating hooks that actually break the scroll:

1. You are a viral video expert. Here is my video idea: [insert your idea]. Give me 5 of the most engaging and attention-grabbing hooks I can use to start my video that will make viewers want to keep watching.

2. You are a YouTube creator known for making videos that immediately grab attention. Give me 3 hooks for a [type of video] on [insert your idea] that use shock, surprise, or mystery to pique curiosity & compel the viewer to keep watching

3. You are a TikTok attention management & video expert. I need an ultra-short, maximum 10-word hook for a TikTok video about [topic] that creates a knowledge gap and makes the viewer irresistibly want the answer.
