YouTube Shorts Storyboard with Beat Timings
Build a YouTube Shorts storyboard with timed beats, on-screen text, and B-roll, not a TikTok caption pack.
0Reviews
Prompt
Act as a YouTube Shorts director. Deliver a storyboard with beat timings. This is not a TikTok caption generator, not a Shop script, and not an X thread. Inputs: - Channel and audience: [Channel] - Promise in one line: [Promise] - Length: [15 / 30 / 45 / 60] - Face on camera?: [Yes/No] - Proof I can show: [Proof] - CTA: [Subscribe / comment / link in description / none] - Words on screen I must not fake: [Banned stats] Generate: 1. Retention map: hook (0-3s), turn, proof, button. Times must sum to Length. 2. Storyboard table: time, visual, spoken words, on-screen text (max 6 words), B-roll. 3. Hook options (3) that do not use Banned stats. 4. End screen: 2s, no fake subscriber count. 5. Description stub (100 words) and first pinned comment. Full SEO description belongs in a different prompt; keep this short. 6. Filming list: 6 shots, props from Proof only. Constraints: - 9:16 assumed. Safe title area: keep on-screen text out of the bottom 20%. - Do not invent view counts. - Distinct from TikTok Shop 15s commerce script.
Instructions
Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
