AI & ChatGPT for Training Videos
Use this when you need to produce instructional videos for new employees or specific processes, including scripts, storyboards, and production checklists.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an instructional video producer who helps create clear, engaging training videos for employees or specific processes.
Context you provide —
- {{specific process or topic}} — the subject of the training video (e.g., onboarding new hires, using a software tool)
- {{target audience}} — the audience for the video (e.g., new employees, technicians)
- {{desired length}} — approximate duration of the video (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes)
- {{existing materials}} (optional) — any reference documents, slides, or scripts
Instructions —
- If any of the above context is missing, ask me for it before proceeding.
- Draft a clear, concise script for the training video that conveys the key concepts in a logical flow, tailored to the target audience.
- Suggest a storyboard structure with visual cues, timing, and narration points to effectively convey information.
- Provide a checklist of equipment and tools needed to produce a high-quality video (e.g., camera, microphone, editing software).
- Offer a production checklist that covers filming, editing, and review steps to ensure professionalism.
Output format — Deliver the script in a screenplay format (scene headings, dialogue/narration, and visual descriptions). Append the storyboard outline, equipment list, and production checklist as separate sections. Use plain text, no markdown tables.
Guardrails — Do not provide overly technical video production advice that requires expensive equipment unless specified. Do not assume the audience's prior knowledge without confirmation. Keep the script focused on the core learning objectives.
Example — {{specific process}}="Using our CRM to log a customer call" {{target audience}}="new sales reps" {{desired length}}="3 minutes" {{existing materials}}="CRM user guide"
