Step-by-Step Guide
Define your video concept
Decide on topic, platform, target audience, and desired video length before generating a script.
Write a detailed prompt
Include topic, audience, tone, hook style, and CTA type. More detail produces better scripts.
Generate and compare
Generate 2-3 versions of the script and pick the strongest one. Different angles on the same topic yield different results.
Edit for your voice
Add your unique perspective, adjust language to match your brand, and ensure factual accuracy.
Produce the video
Use the finalized script to create your video. FluxNote takes the script directly into the video production pipeline.
How AI script generators work
AI script generators use large language models (LLMs) trained on billions of words of text to produce original scripts:
Input processing — You provide a topic, target audience, video length, and tone. The more specific your input, the better the output.
Structure generation — The AI creates a script framework: hook (first 3 seconds), setup, main content, and call-to-action.
Content creation — Each section is filled with relevant, engaging copy tailored to video format — conversational, punchy, and visual.
Optimization — The script is tuned for the target length and platform. A YouTube Short script differs significantly from a 10-minute explainer.
FluxNote's built-in script generator goes further — it creates scripts specifically optimized for video, with visual cues and scene breaks that map directly to the video creation pipeline.
Writing effective prompts for AI scripts
The quality of your AI-generated script depends heavily on your prompt. Here are proven prompt structures:
Basic prompt: "Create a 60-second YouTube Short script about [topic]"
Better prompt: "Create a 60-second YouTube Short script about 5 morning habits that boost productivity. Target audience: young professionals aged 25-35. Tone: energetic and motivational. Start with a controversial hook."
Best prompt: "Create a YouTube Short script (45-60 seconds) about 5 morning habits that boost productivity for remote workers. Open with a bold claim that challenges a common belief. Use short, punchy sentences. Include a specific stat or study. End with a question to drive comments. Tone: confident, no-nonsense, slightly provocative."
Key elements to include in prompts:
- Topic and specific angle
- Target audience demographics
- Video length and platform
- Desired tone and energy level
- Hook style preference
- Call-to-action type
Script structures that perform best
Proven script structures for different video types:
The Hook-List-CTA (best for Shorts/Reels):
1. Bold opening statement (3 seconds)
2. Numbered list of points (40-50 seconds)
3. Call-to-action (5-10 seconds)
The Problem-Solution (best for explainers):
1. Present the problem viewers face
2. Why common solutions fail
3. Introduce the better solution
4. Show results/proof
The Story Arc (best for narrative content):
1. Attention-grabbing opening
2. Build tension or curiosity
3. Climax or key revelation
4. Resolution and takeaway
The Controversy Hook (best for engagement):
1. Start with a contrarian opinion
2. Acknowledge the common belief
3. Present evidence for your position
4. Invite discussion
AI generators like FluxNote automatically apply the most effective structure based on your topic and platform.
Pro Tips
- Always start with a hook — the first sentence determines whether viewers stay or scroll
- Write for the ear, not the eye — scripts should sound natural when spoken aloud
- Keep sentences short and punchy for short-form content
- Include specific numbers and examples instead of vague generalizations
- End with a clear call-to-action — follow, comment, or watch next video
