Video Scripts template
YouTubeYouTube Shorts Script
Create a YouTube Shorts script with a single-value hook 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 YouTube Shorts script (under 60 seconds) about [topic]. The Short should deliver one clear piece of value — a tip, fact, hack, or insight. Hook (0-3s): start mid-action or with a bold claim — no slow intros. Content (3-50s): deliver the value quickly with energy. Payoff (50-60s): the result, surprise, or CTA. Include: exact spoken dialogue, on-screen text overlays, visual/demonstration suggestions, and a suggested title (under 100 characters) that would make someone click. Tone: [tone]. Niche: [niche]. Remember: vertical format, face-to-camera style recommended.
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.
