Write a script for a short explainer video
Turn a confusing topic into a simple script you can use with AI video tools to create an easy-to-follow explainer.
Copy this prompt
Write a 60-second explainer video script about [topic]. Assume the viewer knows nothing about it. Use simple, everyday language. Break it into 3 short parts: what it is, why it matters, and one practical tip. End with a friendly call to action.
When to use this
You need to explain something for work, school, or your small business — like how a product works, a new policy, or a concept your audience finds confusing.
Why this works
The 60-second limit forces clarity. Breaking it into three parts gives the viewer a mental map so they do not get lost. Ending with a call to action makes the video feel complete and useful.
