Writing scripts can often be a time-consuming and challenging task that requires a lot of effort and time. It can sometimes feel overwhelming to come up with creative and engaging content, especially when you have tight deadlines to meet.
To make this process easier and more efficient, AI Studios has incorporated ChatGPT into our script editing toolkit. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT can assist you in generating ideas, refining your scripts, and speeding up the overall scriptwriting process.
This how-to guide is designed for the in-editor AI Content Writer in AI Studios video editor. However, we also offer a standalone AI Text Editor if you would like to just edit text. To find this, please navigate to Dashboard > AI Generator > Text Generator or follow this how-to guide.
How to Write Scripts Better and Faster using AI
Step 1: Find the AI Script Assistant
Open your video project in AI Studios and scroll to the script editor at the bottom. Look for the icon with the OpenAI logo. That’s the AI Script Assistant. Click it to open the tool.
Step 2: Enter Your Prompt
Use the text bar at the top of the menu to describe what you want. You can ask the AI to write a new script, improve your existing one, or correct grammar and tone.
Here are some examples of prompts you can try:
"Fix grammar and make this sound more confident [copy-paste of current script]"
"Edit this to sound more casual and friendly. [copy-paste of current script]"
Step 3: Regenerate or Apply Your Script
After the script is generated, you can decide what to do next.
Click Apply to insert the script into your editor if it meets your needs.
Click Regenerate to try a different version or adjust your prompt for a better result.
Step 4: Review the Script
Once the script appears in your editor, click Listen to hear it read aloud by an AI avatar. This helps you check the tone, pacing, and overall flow. Make sure the voice and script work well for your video.

Best Practices and Things to Avoid When Using an AI Text Generator
Best Practices:
✅ Be Specific with Prompts: Clearly outline what you need, such as "Generate a video script with only speaking parts in paragraph format."
✅ Focus on Tone and Style: If translating scripts, specify nuances like formal or informal language to match the target audience appropriately.
✅ Break Down Large Tasks: If creating long scripts, break them into smaller sections for better accuracy and easier review.
✅ Iterate for Clarity: Use the "Regenerate" option multiple times and refine prompts to get the most accurate script.
✅ Preview Frequently: Regularly click "Listen" to hear how the script flows, ensuring smooth delivery by the AI avatar.
Things to Avoid:
❌ Avoid Overloading Prompts: Asking for too many complex tasks at once can lead to generic or confusing results. Break it down step by step.
❌ Relying Solely on AI Accuracy: Always fact-check the AI-generated content, especially for data, names, and dates.
❌ Neglecting Cultural Differences: When translating, ensure to capture idiomatic expressions and local nuances to avoid miscommunication.
❌ Skipping Edits: Even if the AI script looks good, review and edit to fine-tune the flow and ensure natural readability.
