ChatGPT can handle the planning and production “glue” for an AI video: concept, script, shot list, on-screen text, and even edit notes. The actual video frames are typically generated in a dedicated AI video tool, then assembled in an editor. The fastest workflow is: decide your goal and format, generate a tight script, convert it into scene-by-scene instructions, produce visuals and voice, and finish with captions and pacing.
Start by telling ChatGPT the platform (TikTok, Reels, YouTube), target length, tone, and what action viewers should take (visit a product page, join an email list, or compare options). This keeps the script focused and prevents a “rambling” voiceover.
Ask for a hook in the first 2–3 seconds, short sentences, and a natural CTA. If it’s a product video, have ChatGPT write benefits in plain language, plus specific proof points you can show on screen (materials, use cases, before/after, or a quick demo).
Next, have ChatGPT convert the script into a shot list: one row per scene with visual description, on-screen text, voiceover line, and duration (for example, 1.5–3 seconds). This makes it easy to generate clips consistently and avoids mismatched visuals.
Use your preferred AI video generator (or stock footage + AI images) to produce each scene. Then add an AI voiceover (or record your own), drop everything into an editor, and follow the timing ChatGPT suggested. Finish with captions, brand-safe fonts, and a loud-enough music bed that doesn’t mask speech.

Use shorter sentences, vary pacing, and add specific details you can actually show on screen (hands, product close-ups, real locations). Also, keep scenes brief and include quick pattern breaks like a cutaway, zoom, or text callout every few seconds.
