Transcripts
1. Intro: A lot of people believe that they can just
go into Chat GPT, ask you to write a script, and it's going to give you a gold script in
the first attempt. Well, I wish it was that easy, but generally, it's not. In this video, I'm going to help you write better
scripts using AI. AI can give you
words in seconds, but today you're going
to learn how to turn those words into a personality
that doesn't feel robotic. Views don't come from
uploading more videos. Views come from
making people stay, and the staying part usually comes from the script.
So let's begin.
2. Turn Idea into Hook: Turning idea into an angle. AI just doesn't help
you write a script. It's also going to help you
with packaging your script. When I say packaging,
I'm talking about the angle that you're
going to give this script. For example, you have to think
like an attention seeker here or like someone from
media or someone from news. How they can, for example, a lot of news channels
you must have seen. They give the most Mundane, the most boring news, but they give it an
interesting angle or an interesting perspective. So people look at it more. A lot of YouTube birds
do that as well. They make topics on Mundane things, Mundane
everyday things, but they give it an angle in such a way that it
becomes more watchable. And then your video suddenly improves in
terms of engagement. The thing is people
react to emotions. Can take AI's help to expand a video into multiple
different angles. For example, there is
a controversy angle. There is a hidden truth angle, even though many people seem to not like the hidden truth angle, but it gets great
views and it retains people a lot better or no
one is talking about this, even though literally
everyone is talking about this blatant lie, but it gets people
talking about your video. It gets people to your video. It's partially clickbait,
but it works really well. These are the angle
of the videos. You should really work towards what angle do you
want to present the video? There is mystery angle, there is comedy angle, there is investigative angle. There are multiple angles, and you should use AI
to discuss options. All you do is you
going into Chat GPT, write about your video
idea and ask it to generate multiple angles that
can help the video succeed. And then you pick the best angle that you
think is most suitable.
3. Full Script using AI: Script using AI. Any AI script will
become better if you build it in layers rather
than one giant output. For example, if you
go to Chat GPT right now and a lot of people are
making this exact mistake, they're going into hat GPT. They're asking you to write a ten minute video script for AI or whatever topic
they have in mind, write a YouTube video discussing AI and the length should
be 10 minutes and boom. They just want and they just recite this script like parrot. It doesn't work that way. AI is not going to give you
great answers in just one go. Whenever you try to push AI to write do more and more
in one single prompt, it's going to fail because
AI is designed that way. It's not going to help you if you load it with a
huge task in one go. So what you do you fragment it. You give it smaller task in succession to be able to
write a better script. So let's talk about what should
be your ideal succession. Let's begin. First is you're going to turn
your topic into a hook, which means the
angle of the video, which was the previous module, you're going to turn your video and you're going to
give it an angle, like a controversy,
angle hidden truth, angle, nobody talks about
this or whatever, whatever. This is the angle of the video. The first point should be to
give an angle to the video. Now you're going to
talk about the outline. Now you're going to generate
an outline of this script. You don't generate the script
word for word just yet. Generate an outline first. The basic talking points, the pointers that
you should talk about that you're
going to generate. It doesn't take that
much energy for hat GPT, so it's going to give you
great talking points here. And now you write the script for each talking point
separately and one by one. So AI doesn't feel
that constrained, and it doesn't stop midway, and it's going to give
you a much better result. Also, please note
that the script AI writes is going to
be too robotic. And I don't think there
is a way to fix that. It's always it's not going to sound human most of the time. So what you have to do is you have to do some
heavy lifting here. Edit the sentences yourself, copy the entire thing
into Microsoft Word or whatever software text
based software you have, and edit the sentences in a way that you could say
in front of the camera. For example, I don't use
the word often a lot. I use the word generally
instead of often. Replace the word This is just one example
that I gave you, but you can do that with pretty much all the output that Ta GPT gives you for the
script of the course. Not the course, but the
script of the video. Say the script in your own
way, add your personality. Because that is
what makes people stay and makes people
keep watching. Now, I'm going in
a tangent here, but a lot of people use AI to write voiceovers
for their videos. All they do is write a script using AI like hat GPT or Gemini, stick it into 11 Labs, which is an AI voice software, and just add some clips to
the video and upload it. The thing is, some
of these creators have even gotten
successful a little bit. But the thing is it's not
going to last long because people want to have
a personal one on one connection with the
creator they choose to follow. It's very important for your video or your script
to have human elements. Without human
elements, it's just robot creating content
for you and nothing else. Human connection is the most
important thing in a script, and that is something that only you can add to the script. HAGPT can't do that
for you just yet. Content alone doesn't
win on YouTube. Personality, along with
good content does. And personality comes from
you using your own voice, your own humor, your
own way of talking. A lot of YouTubers, if you just look past if you just look through a list of all the YouTubers
that you follow, you're going to notice you don't just follow them for content, you follow them for
the way of talking, or maybe they're funny, or maybe they just have an insanely unique
perspective on things. That is very important. In the future, even
though AI has arrived, human content will
still be important. When I say human content, I mean content
that is performed, that is presented by a
human in a humanly way. Overly relying on AI
can make things life.
4. Hook Writing with AI: Writing with AI. The first ten to 30 seconds decide whether someone will stick around or will
leave the video. This is why a hook
isn't just an intro. It's a tension switch. Hook is kind of the
angle of the video. Hook gives your video
an emotional switch. For example, instead of saying, I just bought a new phone
or I have a better example, I just updated my
iPhone. This is a post. This is just a thought. But instead of that,
you say in your video, Everyone suggested me to update
my iPhone and I hate it. Then you begin talking about the disadvantages and advantages or whatever, the
software update. These type of things can work wonders for the
retention of your video. You have to invoke
emotions in your video. Also, never start a
video with Welcome back. In this video where
we'll be talking about whatever stuff
people are doing. You don't start
off with the topic at hand and introduce
yourself later in the video. Don't introduce yourself in the first 30 seconds
of the video, introduce yourself
after 30 to 40, 50 seconds into the video. Also, please note that AI doesn't understand what
makes people laugh. Humor and cringe are pretty subjective things
in their own right, and you have to do the
heavy lifting yourself. I tried using AI to
write a comedy sketch or a funny script,
and it subbed. It was the definition of
cringe. It was terrible. And I tried multiple
times, multiple prompts, multiple comedy styles,
and it just didn't click. Also, just as an explanation, a lot of people seem
to think that AI can write full scripts. It can't. When I say full scripts, I mean the script is never going to sound human by itself. You have to take the
responsibility and you have to do the heavy
lifting of converting that robotic sounding text into proper human speech because
that is super important. That is going to be very important for your
YouTube journey. What a lot of people
think is they can just create any
script with YouTube, blurt it out like a parrot standing in front of the camera. I'm sorry, but it's
not going to work. You're going to look horrible, you're going to sound
horrible because those sentences
that AI generates, it's not the way people talk. Even if what a lot
of people do here is write the tone should be
this or write like a human. They just prompt AI to
write like a human. If AI knew how to
write like a human, it would already be writing
like a human, but it doesn't. So go figure. It can't
write like a human. You have to do the heavy
lifting here at least for the next few years because AI is still in its pattern
recognition stage, so it cannot write like a human. Even if you ask AI to
write a 5-year-old, write the script
like a 5-year-old in simple English or whatever, it's still going to
sound like a robot, a tiny robot, a child robot, but a robot nonetheless. The onus is on you to
make this script more enjoyable and to give the
script a flair a personality. Since we are content creators, it's our responsibility
and not AIS.
5. Basics of Research: Now it's time to
do some research before you give
the prompt to AI, and this is the easiest part of the lot because it's
the most abstract. It's going to look different
for different people, but different topics,
different subjects. I personally do not rely on AI for the bulk
of the research. I do my own research myself through Redit
Google and YouTube, and then you go onto AI and
do some research there. It should always be your
research and then AI's research. You don't rely on AI's research completely because they
hallucinate a lot. Also, one thing to note, sometimes people's comments
can add a lot to the video. You just go to read it, you go to YouTube, or you go to any social media
like Instagram or whatever. Oh I mean, generally, Instagram's
comments are terrible, but read it and YouTube. These two platform you should
scour, I think is the word. You should go to these platforms and look for people's comments. Sometimes people's
comments can give incredible perspective
in your videos and add a lot to your video. You can just add the comment
as it is on your video or you can just show the comment and talk about
that particular thing. For example, iPhone overheating. You can just go on to read it
and read people's comments. Sometimes it's very enlightening and they can add a lot of
perspective to your video. For example, adding
personal anecdotes. For example, let's say
you're making for example, let's say you're making a video about cards being expensive or cars only having screens and no analog
switches anymore. You can just go to read it, you can just go to H Tube and share public comments
in your video. So they add a lot of perspective and a lot
of depth in your video. Comments are a big, big thing and should feature
heavily in your research. At this research stage, collect as many talking
points as you can.
6. Prompt Template: For example, here is a
prompt that I wrote, and I think you can follow
this prompt as well. So I'm planning to create a
video on iPhone overheating, search the web for talking
points that I can use. This video will be 15 minutes. So search for as many
points as you can. Here are things I want to be want to be a
part of the video. My phone overheats a lot, especially on newer software. I'm using an iPhone 12 on IS 26, and it heats like crazy. Almost never charges about 80%. At first, I thought it happens
because my phone is old, but I saw many
posts on red saying the latest iPhones are struggling with
overheating, as well. Show some solutions in the video and reasons why phones overheat, add talking points from your side that I can
talk about in the video. Here is the format that you are going to follow
for your particular topic. Also, because this
is an example, I didn't do enough research
for this topic and I didn't add enough talking
points from my own side. Your prom should look
at least twice as long. Do your own research, prioritize your
own research more, and the video will become
more human and the video will become a lot better and pretty
practically more unique. Then after AI generates
the talking points, prompted to write
detailed scripts for each talking 0.1 by one, because we all know what
happens when we prompt AI to write huge text transcript. It fails, and it gives
garbage results. So just follow this now, write a script for
place to talking point, write in simple English and
video friendly sentences. Video friendly sentences generally mean
shorter sentences. It's pretty helpful for beginners because
if you're going to have to say huge long sentences
without cuts on video, it's pretty damn difficult. So video friendly
sentences if you want. If you want to create
a ten minute video, prompt AI to write a 15
minute video script, otherwise, the
content it generates. It will usually be done
in a shorter time frame. Also, never try to generate
the entire script in one go. AI becomes dumber the longer data it's
generating in one go. For example, if you
wanted to create a ten minute video and you ask AI to write a ten
minute video script, generally, the script will be over in just five to 6 minutes. And that's what I have
experienced in the past. So always add some time because you're also
going to remove some redundant stuff
that AI suggest or will try to make a
part of the video, right. Not everything AI suggest
will be gold mine. Now, after you're done with the script with writing
the entire thing, it's time to move on
to the packaging, to the hooks, the first
30 seconds of the video. Now, AI will give you a by default hook with
the previous prompt. But here, you're
going to talk about multiple hooks, generating
multiple options. For example, you can
just write a prompt, give me 12 hook options. You can reduce the
number of options if you want to create more
sentences, longer hooks. For example, in this example, I'm using 12 hooks. Give me 12 hook options. Tone should be urgent
but not clickbait. Format should be punchy, one to two sentences each
curiosity, first explanation. Second, you just going to make the viewer curious about the topic that you're
going to talk about. That's what the
hook is all about, and it's one of the most important aspect of
creating a video.
7. Outro: This course wasn't about
letting AI do all the work. It was about you steering it
so it sounds more natural. Now you know how to turn
a simple topic into a clickable angle
and write hooks that make people
glued to the screen. You don't have to hope
people watch anymore. Your writing gives
them a reason to. You just learn to use
AI as a co writer, not as a replacement because now you're not
just creating scripts, you're creating watch time, and that's what YouTube
loves. Thanks for watching.
