Make a YouTube Video

Script it, edit it like a doc and make the thumbnail.

You start withA voice memo of you talking through the video idea
You end withA thumbnail and a timed script that pays it off, ready to film and edit in Descript
Step 1

Use Descript

Turns your voice memo into text, then edits the video by editing its transcript.

Open Descript

Save it as idea-talk.md. Import the memo into Descript, click Export, choose Local export, then Transcript, set Format to .md and give the file to your agent.

Step 2

Give your agent the Canvas Design skill

Makes the thumbnail as a PNG from your idea.

The skill is in this folder, at skill/canvas-design. Copy it into your agent's skills folder, or install it from its maker:

npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill canvas-design

Save it as thumbnail.png. Attach thumbnail.png, put its title in {{Video idea and title}} and paste idea-talk.md into {{Your notes, facts and stories}}.

Step 3

Run the YouTube Video Script prompt

A timed script written to be spoken, from your own notes.

Any capable chat assistant writes this well; pick one that takes long pastes, since detailed notes are what make the script sound like you.
