Top Video Marketing Challenges

Before we look into the AI Video Marketing Tools, let’s have a look at the top challenges Video Marketers face. Here are the top video marketing challenges according to HubSpot:

1. Lack of time to create video content.
2. Difficulty creating an effective video strategy.
3. Inadequate budget to create video content.

How AI Helps You Write Your Video Script

You can now take one of the Video Content Ideas our AI Generator provided as a starting point to start creating your video or you can use our AI YouTube Video Script Generator and go through the process we highlighted for the ideas.

Our Script Generator will help you fine-tune your ideas and will add creativity to your video.

For this example, we’ve selected a 1-minute script. We all know YouTube Shorts are booming, so let’s start with that. We’ve taken the idea we got earlier: ‘Unlock the Power of Video Marketing: 10 Expert Tips’ and started with a professional style.

Let’s see what it looks like:

AI YouTube Video Script Generator Output Examples:

[Cut to black screen with a call to action.]

NARRATOR (V.O.): Start now, the world is watching.

[End Scene: Upbeat music fades as screen slowly dims.]

Now let’s take a more Comedic approach just to see the difference for the purpose of this example:

[Scene: A man (Bob) trying to unlock a huge treasure chest with a small, flimsy key. He struggles as he tries to force the key into the lock.]

Narrator (VO): “Trying to unlock the power of video marketing and failing?

[Bob looks at the camera, shaking his head in disappointment.]

Narrator (VO): “Don’t worry, Bob. We’ve got you covered.”

[Scene: 10 keys suddenly fall from the sky, each with a label: “Know Your Audience”, “Clear Goals”, “Quality Content”, “Strong CTA”, “SEO”, “Promotion”, “Analytics”, “Consistency”, “Engagement”, “Be Authentic”. Bob is surprised.]

Narrator (VO): “These are the 10 expert keys to video marketing.

[Bob picks up the “Know Your Audience” key and tries it in the lock. It fits!]

Narrator (VO): “Start with understanding your audience, their needs and wants.”

[Bob then uses the “Clear Goals” key.]

Narrator (VO): “Set clear goals. Know what you want to achieve with your video.”

[Bob repeats this process with all the keys while the narrator explains each one. With the last key, “Be Authentic”, the treasure chest finally opens revealing a shining “Video Marketing Success” trophy.]

Narrator (VO): “And there you go, Bob! You’ve just unlocked the power of video marketing.”

[Bob looks at the camera, now confidently holding the trophy.]

Narrator (VO): “Remember, if Bob can do it, so can you! So start unlocking the power of video marketing today!”

[Scene: Bob tripping over the treasure chest, falling out of frame, trophy flying. Freeze frame.]

Narrator (VO): “And remember… always keep your humor, it’s a bonus key!”

[End with a wink and a laugh track.]
