Step 1
Write the video script
Use the YouTube Video Script Writer prompt (p104) with Claude. Produce a full script with hook, structured body, B-roll cues, and CTA. Edit for your voice and verify all facts before moving forward.
Step 2
Generate the voiceover
Paste the cleaned script into ElevenLabs. Choose a voice preset or clone your own voice. Generate the audio, download the MP3, and listen for any mispronunciations to fix with ElevenLabs' manual phoneme editor.
Step 3
Produce the video with stock footage or an avatar
If using stock footage: upload the script and audio to InVideo AI, it selects relevant stock clips and assembles them with the voiceover automatically. If camera-facing: use HeyGen to create an avatar presenter reading your script.
Step 4
Add captions, transitions, and music
Import the video into CapCut. Use CapCut's Auto Captions feature to generate accurate, styled captions. Add background music from CapCut's royalty-free library at 10–15% volume. Export at 1080p.
Step 5
Generate social clips and publish everywhere
Upload the final video to Opus Clip. Let it identify 3 high-engagement clips for short-form. Export vertical versions for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and square versions for LinkedIn. Upload the full video to YouTube with an AI-generated description from Claude.
Make It Yours
The speed is real. Here's what keeps the output from reading like everyone else's.
- •Record 2-3 minutes of your own voice or on-camera delivery before generating the voiceover: most tools can clone tone and pacing from a short sample instead of defaulting to a generic narrator.
- •Write the hook and point of view for the first 10 seconds yourself: this is the one part of the script an AI can't guess for you.
- •Do one manual pass on pacing before publishing: an AI-cut video with zero human review reads as AI-cut.
Time Required
4–6 hours
Expected Result
A fully produced, captioned video (3–8 minutes) published to YouTube and cut into 3 social clips for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, completed in a single working day.
