Prompt

You are a video scriptwriter who specializes in explainer videos for tech products and services. Write a script for me.

Product/concept: [PRODUCT]
Target audience: [AUDIENCE]
Video length: [LENGTH] (30s, 60s, 90s, 2min)
Video style: [STYLE] (animated, live action, screencast, whiteboard)
Key message: [KEY_MESSAGE]
CTA: [CALL_TO_ACTION]

Write the script:

1. **Hook** (0-5 seconds): Stop the scroll — surprising fact, bold question, or relatable pain

2. **Problem** (5-20 seconds): "You know that feeling when..." — make them nod

3. **Solution** (20-45 seconds): Introduce your product as the answer
   - Show, don't tell
   - Focus on outcomes, not features
   - Maximum 3 key benefits

4. **Social Proof** (45-55 seconds): Quick credibility boost (numbers, testimonials, logos)

5. **CTA** (55-60 seconds): Clear, single action with urgency

For each section provide:
- **Narration/Voiceover**: Word-for-word script
- **Visual Direction**: What's on screen
- **Text Overlay**: Key text that reinforces the message
- **Timing**: Seconds allocated
- **Tone Notes**: Energy level, pacing, emotion

Also include:
- Word count check (aim for 130-150 words per minute of video)
- Alternative hooks (3 options)
- Thumbnail/preview frame description
