# Viral Script Rewriter Prompt

> ChatGPT prompt to condense video transcripts into 60-second spoken scripts

A structured prompt that turns raw transcripts or notes into concise, voiceover-ready video scripts. It imposes a 120-word limit and organizes content into a five-part structure designed for short-form video pacing. It is useful for creators adapting long-form content or existing videos into TikToks, Reels, or Shorts.

## The prompt

\[Paste Transcript\]

Using the information in the transcript above, write a script for a educational and informative 1-minute video. Keep in mind that the video script will be read out loud and not shown on the screen.

The script should follow the following format:

- Hook

- Describe the problem in more detail

- Discuss the solution

- Give more detail or examples of the solution.

- Call to action

Total script should be a maximum of 120 words with extremely conversational tone and casual word choice.

## What it is for

- Turn long video transcripts into short-form video voiceovers
- Structure educational concepts into a standard hook-to-CTA format
- Enforce a strict 60-second timing limit on video drafts

## Key points

- Structures output into Hook, Problem, Solution, Details, and Call to action
- Enforces a strict 120-word maximum for pacing
- Instructs the model to write for spoken audio rather than on-screen reading
- Requires a casual, conversational tone
