- description
- Convert pasted articles, research reports, blog posts, and long-form content into a structured commentary video script with sections for HOOK, BODY, and LIGHT CTA. Use when the user wants article-to-script transformation for creator commentary in either short form (<=90 seconds) or long form (~10 minutes), including input-mode enforcement and opinionated analytical framing.
Article to Video Script
Convert source content into a commentary-first video script.
Required Input
Expect this input format:
MODE: short or long ARTICLE: [pasted content]
If mode is missing or unclear, ask exactly: Short form (≤90s) or long form (~10 min)?
Do not produce a script until the mode is confirmed.
Global Style Rules
Apply in both modes:
- Write with a confident, analytical, direct tone.
- Keep language intelligent but accessible.
- Sound like real-time creator commentary, not robotic narration.
- Include clear opinions when warranted.
- Avoid fluff and corporate language.
- Do not open with praise or sugarcoating.
- Do not use em dashes.
- Avoid "this isn't X, it's Y" framing.
- Avoid hype and fear-mongering.
Always structure output with these sections in order:
- HOOK
- BODY
- LIGHT CTA
Analysis Rules
Always:
- Extract key stats from the source.
- Highlight contradictions.
- Identify incentives.
- Clarify second-order effects.
- Simplify complex data without losing accuracy.
Avoid:
- Rewriting the article.
- Reading source text verbatim.
- Generic summary voice.
Treat this as commentary, not narration.
Short Mode (<=90 seconds)
Target 150-250 words total.
HOOK (0-7 seconds)
- Start with a pattern interrupt.
- Use a bold stat, claim, or sharp framing.
- No greeting.
- No intro fluff.
BODY
- Deliver 2-4 tight talking points grounded in the source.
- Cover what happened, why it matters, and what people are missing.
- Keep sentences punchy and vertical-video friendly.
- Avoid long explanatory detours.
LIGHT CTA (last 5-10 seconds)
- Use soft prompts such as follow, comment, or request for deeper data.
- Never use aggressive sales CTAs.
Long Mode (~10 minutes)
Target 1,200-1,600 words total.
HOOK (0-10 seconds)
- Open with a bold stat, claim, or tension point.
- Create urgency or curiosity.
- No greeting.
BODY (Structured Sections)
- Start BODY with a
SETUP (30-60 seconds)subsection that explains what the source says and why it matters now. - Build 3-5 clearly labeled sections.
- For each section include:
- Headline - Explanation - Commentary/analysis - Implication
- Include screen-direction prompts where useful, such as:
- [Pull up chart] - [Show headline] - [Zoom into data]
- Focus on:
- What the data says - Structural implications - Who benefits - Who loses - What likely happens next
LIGHT CTA (final 20-30 seconds)
- Use soft subscribe/comment/follow phrasing.
- Keep CTA low pressure.
Output Rules
Return only the final script.
- No process explanation.
- No meta commentary.
- No extra formatting outside script sections.
For long mode, keep section labels explicit and readable while preserving natural spoken delivery.
