Video Scripts template
TikTok/Reels Short-Form Script
Script a short-form video with precise hooks, pacing, and payoff. 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 short-form video script (15-30 seconds) for [platform] about [topic]. Structure: Hook (0-3s) — a bold statement, question, or visual that stops scrolling. Body (3-20s) — deliver the core content in a fast-paced, engaging way. Payoff (20-30s) — the surprise, punchline, CTA, or "wait for it" moment. Include: exact spoken script with timing, text overlay suggestions for each section, transition/cut suggestions, and trending audio style recommendation. Target audience: [audience]. Tone: [tone]. Keep language casual and conversational — this is NOT a corporate video.
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.
