AI Video Creation Workflow: From Hook to Viral

1/ start with the hook - before opening any tool, write 10 first lines that would stop someone mid-scroll. emotion, surprise, or curiosity. the first 3 seconds decide everything. 2/ script it in chatgpt - once you have the hook, prompt chatgpt to write a 30–45 second script with a clear setup, build, and twist. short, rhythmic sentences work best for retention. 3/ storyboard with reve or similar- drop the script in and visualize each moment. this keeps your pacing tight and your message clear before you hit generate. 4/ generate visuals with veo3 etc - turn the storyboard into scenes: cinematic lighting, expressive faces, fast transitions. keep a new image or motion every 2 seconds - pattern interrupts keep people watching. 5/ animate in sora 2- use sora 2 to bring everything to life. add subtle movement, dialogue sync, and environmental motion that feels handcrafted, not robotic. 6/ edit for rhythm and emotion - layer sound design and quick pacing. trim any fluff. test versions with different opening hooks or music cues. the most viral clips hit hard, then end fast. 7/ analyze and remix - post across shorts, reels, and tiktok. check retention graphs, rework the top 10% of performers, and double down on formats that hit. every viral creator has 10 quiet failures behind each success.
