Video Scripts template

Animated Social Media Video Script

Script an animated social video with scene-by-scene direction for animators. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.

The full prompt

Write a script for a 30-60 second animated social media video about [topic] for [platform]. Style: [animation_style] (kinetic typography, character animation, whiteboard, motion graphics). Structure: Scene 1 — hook with a problem or question (5s). Scenes 2-4 — deliver the message with one idea per scene (10-15s each). Scene 5 — CTA and brand reveal (5-10s). For each scene: voiceover text (timed), on-screen text (key phrases only), visual description for the animator, and transition type. Include a music mood note. Total word count for voiceover: 80-150 words (depending on pace). Tone: [tone].

Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes

Getting the most from video scripts templates

  • Write the hook last, after you know the payoff — then promise exactly that payoff, immediately.
  • Script for speech, not reading: short sentences, contractions, no clause stacks. Read it aloud once before filming.
  • One retention device per 10-15 seconds — a question, a reveal, a visual change. The templates place the slots.
  • The caption is a second hook for sound-off viewers; the video templates pair with caption templates from the social set.
