How to use ChatGPT for YouTube Video Creation?

Now that we have a road map for creating a YouTube video. We’ll understand ChatGPT, and later, we’ll explore how to utilize ChatGPT for making YouTube videos.

What is ChatGPT

It is a generative chatbot developed by OpenAI. The tool generates human-like text, images, and voice using prompts provided by users. Basically, users(humans) ask questions, and the chatbot replies in text format. The tool provides relevant data and tries to solve users’ queries in an easy-to-understand manner.

ChatGPT also gives text-to-image responses and has  dozens of pre-built GPTs for specific tasks. Eliminating the manual repetitive work completely.

ChatGPT is trained on a vast amount of data, so users get precise information. However, if the task is complicated, then users can give a specific and accurate prompt. Later in the blog, we’ll also see about prompt engineering.  This will help you get accurate information.

ChatGPT for YouTube Channel Strategies and Ideation

We will utilize ChatGPT to develop a YouTube content strategy and provide as much detailed information as possible.

The prompt:

Act as an expert YouTube content strategist. Help me create a YouTube channel. I am interested in making {add topics of videos you want to make} type content. Explain what this YouTube niche is, give some niche insights, the target audience for this niche, and 5 video topics that are relevant to it.

How prompt helps:

First, we have given a persona to the chatbot, then we told the task. Followed by instructions so that we get a relevant and narrowed answer. Lastly, we asked for 5 examples so that we get an actual overview of what is present on the YouTube platform.

ChatGPT for YouTube Channel Brand Identity

Now that we know our niche, let’s create a brand identity. Why? YouTube has expanded its monetization opportunities. Apart from ad revenue, you can earn from Shopping, BrandConnect (for brand deals), Super Chat, memberships, and YouTube Premium.

Use ChatGPT to create a content plan or road map for your YouTube journey. The tool will help make long-term professional goals.

The prompt:

You are an expert YouTube marketing specialist. I am starting a YouTube channel in {niche}. Create a brand guideline for me and a detailed content plan.

How prompt helps:

The prompt is simple. In a later prompt, you can add details based on your goals. We are working on developing a detailed plan for the next 2-3 years. YouTube requires consistency. Having a plan makes everything work in an organized manner. Also, having a brand guideline helps you easily transition from a YouTube channel to your own business on YouTube.

Using ChatGPT for YouTube Production

You can use ChatGPT for scripting, thumbnail design, titles, descriptions, tags, hashtags, etc. The tool can give you ideas and also write YouTube video scripts for you.

Prompt example for scripts:

Act as an expert YouTube director, help me write a detailed script for a 5-minute YouTube video, on the topic “10 Must-Try Smartwatches of 2025”, the tone should be friendly and informative. Start with an engaging hook and a strong call to action.

How prompt helps:

You can explain to ChatGPT the type of setup you have, such as the camera, microphone, lighting, and editing software. It can tell you scripts along with camera angle, duration, and shot duration. Provide detailed information, and it will give an optimal response, just like a creative director.

ChatGPT has additional capabilities, including Sora and DALL-E, for generating images. You can also create your own AI model for personal tasks in GPTs. You can add instructions and data to get an answer based on the parameters you have set.

Similarly, you can use ChatGPT to generate titles, descriptions, hashtags, and tags.

Personally, I have built multiple projects in GPTs. For each function, for example, I have created a predefined structure. I simply have to paste the topic, and it provides me with scripts, titles, descriptions, and everything else related to my channel’s content.

I even use ChatGPT to create my YouTube promotion strategy. Many YouTubers promote their content, and ChatGPT helps you understand the promotional strategies. Which you can utilize in your campaigns.

Mainly, I have used my VeeFly dashboard for YouTube video promotion because I have adapted to it, and it seems easy to me. Still, I monitor my campaigns and use ChatGPT to analyze data-driven insights.

List of Custom GPTs for YouTube Video Creation

In ChatGPT, you can create your custom versions. You can add instructions and reference data. This will enable you to obtain information based on your specific needs without requiring excessive prompting.

Video Insights (Summaries, Transcription, Vision)

Upload files and get a summary of video content, transcripts, and metadata.

Script Pro: Creates scripts for your YouTube videos.

Shorts and Reels Assistant: Generating short-form video scripts, titles, descriptions, and hook designs.

Video Summarizer: The summary of long-form video content can be generated for topic research and analysis.

SEObot: Tool for keyword research, SEO optimization, and SEO strategy.

Prompt Wizard: Helpful in getting better results from the tool with precise information.

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT

The prompt should be divided into four stages. First, give the chatbot a persona; then, tell it the task; then, define what you want; and finally, ask for factual data or precise examples. If your work involves repetitive tasks, then you don’t have to write them every time. Create a custom GPT for yourself and jump to the main query.

You can categorize prompting into various categories, such as Instructional, Socratic, persona-based, etc. You can also add relevant data, such as PDFs or site links, and ChatGPT will respond considering that data only.

Keep your prompts simple, maintain a consistent tone, and avoid complicating them. One query at a time for better responses.

Conclsuion

Every day, more than 500 hours of content are uploaded to the YouTube platform. To make a successful YouTube career, you need to add videos frequently, consistently, and effectively. This entire process can cause your creativity to burn out. Using ChatGPT at every step makes your production smoother.
