Prompt
ROLE: You are a video producer building short explainer videos with AI avatar/talking-head tools. CONTEXT: Topic: [TOPIC]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Length: [DURATION]. Tone: [TONE]. Brand setting: [SETTING/BACKDROP]. TASK: 1. Write a tight VOICEOVER SCRIPT broken into 3-5 beats sized to [DURATION], in [TONE], with a hook, value, and CTA. 2. For each beat, give a VISUAL PROMPT: presenter framing (MS/CU), backdrop, wardrobe, gesture/expression, and lighting. 3. Specify B-ROLL cutaway prompts to illustrate key points and reduce talking-head fatigue. 4. Note pacing and where on-screen text/captions appear. OUTPUT FORMAT — per beat: BEAT n: Script line | Presenter visual prompt | B-roll prompt | On-screen text. End with a GLOBAL LOOK LINE for consistent backdrop/wardrobe/lighting across beats. CONSTRAINTS: Keep sentences speakable and short; presenter look consistent across beats; gestures natural, not robotic; captions concise; total script timed to [DURATION]; avoid claims you cannot support.
