How to Create a Video Script Using a Fill-In Template

If a blank page stops you, a template helps. This page gives you a fill-in-the-blanks structure for creating a video script in minutes, with prompts for each line. It suits explainers, promos, and social videos of one to two minutes.

A Filled-In Example

Hook: What if you could plan a week of meals without a single spreadsheet?
Problem: Most busy parents struggle with dinner because planning takes longer than cooking.
Solution: A meal-planning app (fictional) helps you plan a week by suggesting recipes from what's already in your kitchen.
How it works: Scan your pantry. Pick five meals. Get one shopping list.
Call to action: Try it free this week.

Add a Visual for Each Line

  • Hook: a striking opening image
  • Problem: the frustration in action
  • Solution: the product or service in use
  • Steps: close-ups or screen recordings
  • Proof: a real customer, with consent
  • CTA: an end card

Tweak It Until It Sounds Natural

Templates give structure, not voice. Read the draft aloud and rewrite stiff lines. For turning rough notes into a script without a template, see creating a script from bullet points. For finished examples, see annotated video script examples.
