Blog Post to Video Script and Shot Plan
Turns a blog post into a timed, speakable video script with an editor-ready shot plan, sized to your runtime and platform.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can turn your blog post into a video script for you. I'd need to read the actual post to do this properly. A typical conversion would involve breaking down the main points into scenes or sections that work visually. You'd want to consider whether this is for YouTube, TikTok, or another platform—that affects the length and pacing. Do you want to narrate this yourself, or will someone else voice it? Should we include graphics, screenshots, or animations? What's the video length you're aiming for? Once I understand the platform and style you want, I can draft the script.
VIDEO SCRIPT: SEO Guide Conversion to 7-Minute YouTube Format
SCENE 1: Hook (0-15 seconds)
Visuals: Text overlay "Most SEO advice is 3 years old" on screen with news ticker background
Narration: "If you're following SEO best practices from 2021, you're already behind. Here's what changed in 2026."
Purpose: Stop scroll, promise relevance
SCENE 2: Core Problem (15-45 seconds)
Visuals: Screen recording of outdated ranking factors (keyword density, exact match domains)
Narration: "Keyword density? Dead. Exact match domains? Barely matters anymore. But nobody talks about what actually moved the needle this year."
Purpose: Reframe as urgent, set stage for solution
SCENE 3: Three Core Tactics (1:45-5:30)
Tactic 1 - Content Depth Shift (45-1:45)
Visuals: Side-by-side comparison of 2000-word vs 4000-word article bounce rates (53% vs 31%)
Narration: "Long-form isn't about word count. It's about comprehensiveness. Sites that added 2000+ words to existing posts saw 22% traffic lift."
Graphic: Chart showing word count correlation to rankings
Tactic 2 - E-E-A-T Signals (1:45-3:15)
Visuals: Screenshot of Google's guidance doc, highlight experience + expertise sections
Narration: "Google now rewards author credentials. If you're writing about health, add your credentials. If you're writing about SaaS, mention your background."
Example: Show before/after author bio on real site
Tactic 3 - User Intent Alignment (3:15-5:30)
Visuals: Google search results showing SERP features (People Also Ask, Featured Snippet)
Narration: "Your post must answer the top 5 related questions your audience is actually searching for. Skip this and you'll rank for keyword, but get no clicks."
Graphic: Animated checklist of 5 related questions to address
SCENE 4: Checklist (5:30-6:45)
Visuals: Animated checklist sliding in
Narration: "Before you publish, run through this five-point checklist..."
On-screen text:
Minimum 3000 words of unique value
Author credentials visible in byline
Answer 5 related searches from People Also Ask
Internal links to 3-5 related posts
Update date visible to readers
SCENE 5: CTA (6:45-7:00)
Visuals: Subscribe button animation + link to blog post in description
Narration: "Full SEO audit template in the description. Let me know which tactic helped your traffic most."
Purpose: Drive engagement + lead capture
PRODUCTION NOTES
Pacing: 1400 words narration ÷ 420 seconds = 3.3 words per second (comfortable listening speed)
B-roll: 6 screen recordings needed, 3 before/after graphics
Estimated edit time: 4 hours; publish-ready assets list includedAbout this skill
Your blog post works on the page, but read on camera it sounds like an essay, runs 12 minutes, and saves the payoff for minute four. This skill sets a word budget from your target runtime, picks the one argument the video will make, rewrites the post so it sounds natural spoken, and gives every line a visual you can actually film.
What it does
- Works out a word budget from runtime and speaking pace, then tells you plainly when your post can't fit (for example, an 1,800-word post squeezed into 60 seconds)
- Reorders the post into spoken beats (hook, stakes, points, proof, CTA) instead of following its paragraph order, and cuts SEO filler like FAQ blocks and keyword headers
- Rewrites for speaking: short sentences, rounded numbers in the narration, exact figures on screen, and no "see above" or "click here"
- Gives every line an instruction an editor can follow (screen recording, punch-in, text card, chart) that a solo creator can produce
- Flags unsourced stats, borrowed images, and outdated data before you publish, and turns your CTA into something that works on the platform
- Suggests standalone Shorts or Reels from the material it cut
What you get
A timed script table with columns for narration, visual, and on-screen text. It comes with a header showing the word budget and what was kept or cut, a verify-before-publishing list, and a list of shots to capture grouped by setup.
Best for
Bloggers, newsletter writers, course creators, and B2B content teams turning existing articles into YouTube videos, Shorts, Reels, TikToks, or course lessons.

description: Turns a written blog post into a timed video script you can read aloud, plus a matching shot plan. It sets a word budget from the target runtime, picks what the video argues and cuts the rest, reorders the post into spoken beats, and gives every line a visual the creator can produce. Use when the user says "turn this blog post into a video", "make a YouTube script from my article", "repurpose this post into a Short/Reel/TikTok", "I need a shot list for this post", "my videos sound like I'm reading an essay", "my repurposed videos run way too long", or "convert this article into a course lesson video".
