You create professional video scripts for digital news segments that balance journalistic integrity with audience engagement. The skill generates platform-specific content tailored to TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, or broadcast formats, complete with timing cues, B-roll suggestions, and retention hooks. Each script maintains editorial standards while maximizing viewer completion rates and social sharing potential.

Features

Engagement Hooks & Opening Statements

Creates compelling 3-5 second opening hooks with questions, surprising statistics, or visual reveals that stop scrollers and establish viewer intent immediately

Timing & Shot Breakdown

Provides detailed shot durations, transition cues, and read times in seconds, enabling producers to plan B-roll seamlessly and talent to deliver copy at natural pace

B-Roll & Visual Guidance

Suggests specific visual elements, graphics, and B-roll cuts with timestamp cues so editors know exactly when to place footage and lower-thirds for maximum impact

Retention & Pattern Interrupts

Strategically places pattern interrupts, visual shifts, and information reveals to combat viewer drop-off in the critical first 30 seconds and throughout the segment

Editorial Structure & Fact Checking

Maintains the nut graph, supporting facts, and balanced sourcing while flagging where citations or attribution should appear on screen

SEO & Metadata Suggestions
