# Write a 60-second script about our new feature Canonical URL: https://getvidiyo.app/prompts/write-a-script-for-my-next-video Last updated: 2026-10-08 > TL;DR: Type "Write a 60-second script about our new export feature" and Vidiyo drafts a hook-first script in short spoken sentences, at about 130 to 160 words a minute, and saves it to a card on your content board with a brief and a planned date if you give one. You can then film from the script. ## What to say > Write a 60-second script about our new export feature Category: Publishing ## What Vidiyo does 1. Reads your board, existing scripts and any notes, links or files you attached. 2. Writes a script with the hook in the first line and one idea per video. 3. Sizes it to the length you asked, at about 130 to 160 spoken words a minute. 4. Saves it to a new or existing content card, with a brief and a planned date if you give one. A video that starts as a script is easier to film and faster to edit. This prompt drafts one in your editor's own board, so the idea, the script and the finished video stay on one card. ## What does Vidiyo do when you say this? Vidiyo drafts a script with the hook in the first line, one idea per video, in short sentences meant to be spoken. It sizes the script to your target length, at about 130 to 160 words a minute, and saves it to a card on your content board with a brief. If you give a planned date, it adds that too. The board is part of Vidiyo: cards move through Idea, Scripting, Filming, Editing, Scheduled and Posted. When you later edit the video, the card links to the project, and the captions for your posts get written from what the finished video says rather than from this draft. ## How do you phrase it? Give the topic, the length and anything the script must include: - "Write a 60-second script about our new export feature" - "Three Reel scripts on editing tips for founders, 30 seconds each" - "Turn this changelog into a 45-second script" (with the file attached) - "Rewrite the hook on Tuesday's card" - "Plan five ideas for next week and put them on the board" Pasting notes, attaching a changelog, or giving a link makes the script specific to your product instead of generic. ## How would you do this by hand? By hand, you'd write the script in a document, count words to estimate length, copy it into your planning tool or notes app, then keep the two in sync as it changes. The writing is the same work either way. What changes is that the draft starts from your notes and lives on the same card as the edit and the posts. ## What should you check afterwards? Read the script out loud once. Spoken sentences that look fine on screen can trip you up on camera. Cut any line you wouldn't say in your own words, and make sure every claim and number is right. Once filmed, the transcript, not the script, becomes the source the edit and captions work from. ## Honest limits - Vidiyo has no teleprompter yet. Read the script from the card or another screen while you record. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where do the scripts live? On cards on your content board. Each card has a brief, a script, a stage from Idea to Posted, and a planned date, and it links to the video project once you start editing. ### Does a planned date schedule anything? No. A planned date is for your own calendar. Posts are only scheduled when you ask Vidiyo to schedule them through Buffer. ### Can it write from a link or a document? Yes. Attach a text or Markdown file, or give a public link, and the assistant reads it as source material for the script. ## Related - [A content calendar that schedules your videos](https://getvidiyo.app/features/content-calendar-and-scheduling) - [Video hook](https://getvidiyo.app/glossary/video-hook) - [How to write a video script for a product demo](https://getvidiyo.app/blog/write-a-video-script-for-a-product-demo) - [Write the post captions for Instagram, LinkedIn and X](https://getvidiyo.app/prompts/write-post-captions-for-each-platform) Download Vidiyo for Mac (free during the beta): https://getvidiyo.app/download
