How to Write Video Ad Scripts with AI

Writing video ad scripts that convert is tough. You’ve got three seconds to hook viewers, need a problem solution flow that doesn’t feel pushy, and require a CTA people will want to click. Now, of course, we all know the blank page struggles, rewriting opening lines over and over again.

AI script generators have changed the game from that aspect. They help you generate multiple variations in minutes, adjust tone for different platforms (TikTok and LinkedIn audiences couldn’t be more different), and cut down drafting time significantly.

Speed isn’t the only issue, though. Managing campaigns across Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn means creating platform-specific scripts at scale, something that’s nearly impossible manually. This shift is part of how AI agents are transforming ad operations, handling entire workflows from script creation through campaign launch.

Core Copywriting Frameworks that Drive Results

Every high-performing video ad follows a structure that guides viewers from stopping mid-scroll to taking action.

AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) grabs attention with a scroll-stopping hook, builds interest by highlighting a problem, creates desire by showcasing benefits, and ends with a clear next step. You have three seconds max for that attention phase; you miss it and they’re gone. For short-form video, interest and desire often blur together since you only have about 20 seconds in total, according to Wyzowl's video marketing statistics.

PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solution) starts with a problem that your audience knows well, agitates by showing that it’s costing them (time, money, missed opportunities), then presents your solution. Agitation makes familiar frustration urgent enough to act on now instead of “someday”.

FAB (Features, Advantages, Benefits) moves quickly from what your product does to why it matters to how it improves their life. Don’t linger on features. “Our platform automates ad creation” (feature) should immediately become “which eliminates manual design work” (advantage) and land on “so you launch campaigns in minutes, not days” (benefit).

Before-After-Bridge paints a vivid contrast. The “before” needs specificity: “spending three hours every morning manually adjusting bids across five platforms”. The “after” should be equally tangible: “launching five optimized campaigns in the time one used to take”.

AI Script Generation for Campaign Creation

AI eliminates the blank-page problem and handles structure automatically.

An AI script generator produces complete, framework-based scripts in seconds. When you’re testing different angles or refreshing fatigued creative, this speed matters. 10 manual variations usually takes you a full day. 10 AI variations narrowed down to your best three? Maybe like an hour.

Running campaigns for multiple products or clients makes maintaining brand voice across different audiences nearly impossible. AI generators analyze your inputs like product details, target audience, tone, and voice to create scripts that stay on-brand and adapt to context.

What works on TikTok (fast-paced, trendy, casual) bombs on LinkedIn (professional, industry-specific, authority-building). AI tools reformat your core message for each platform by adjusting vocabulary, pacing, and hook style.

All of this gives you the advantage of velocity testing. Generate twenty options in an hour and identify patterns before spending your media budget. Most campaigns need multiple iterations before finding the winning angle.

AdMove’s AI Script Generator: Market Research Meets Script Creation

Most AI script generators treat script writing as an isolated task. Feed them a product description, get a generic copy back. AdMove takes a different approach by integrating market research directly into script generation.

Market research that informs every line

AdMove analyzes your product URL or catalog to understand what you’re selling, who’s buying, and how competitors position similar offers. It extracts positioning angles from product pages, identifies pain points from reviews and forums, and maps competitive messaging gaps.

The result? Instead of “save time and money” (every ad’s claim), you get hooks like “eliminate the three hours you spend every morning optimizing bids manually,” leaving the tool to identify specific pain points through research.

Marketing angles tailored to personas and platforms

AdMove generates multiple marketing angles for different audience segments and platforms. Selling project management software? You might get an efficiency angle for operations managers, a collaboration angle for remote teams, and a visibility angle for executives. Each comes with platform-specific scripts: quick-hit for TikTok, educational for YouTube, and professional for LinkedIn.

And this is how the same product solves different problems for different people. Manual writing forces you to pick one angle and hope. AdMove enables you to test multiple positioning strategies at once.

Real-time script refinement

The refinement interface lets you adjust tone, rewrite hooks, or modify sections without having to start over. If your opening isn’t grabbing attention, regenerate just that part while keeping the rest. When you’re adapting based on early performance data, these granular controls are invaluable.

Autopilot campaigns

AdMove turns scripts into social media video ads and launches campaign automatically. The app handles creative production (matching scripts to visuals from your brand assets) and campaign setup across platforms, removing the gap between scripts approval and campaign launch, where most operations bog down. 

Creative engine that learns your brand

The creative engine analyzes your existing brand assets and performance data to create ads that match your visual identity. As campaigns run, it learns which creative elements drive performance and weights future generations toward what’s working. If product demos outperform lifestyle footage for your brand, the system automatically generates more demo-focused variations.

Tips and Pitfalls

Start with specific hooks

Your first three seconds determine if anyone keeps watching. Generic hooks like “Are you tired of wasting time?” get ignored. Specific hooks work: “Spending two hours every morning adjusting Meta campaigns manually?” The specificity signals you understand their exact problem.

Keep core message under 30 Seconds

Your full video might run 60-90 seconds, but the problem-solution-CTA loop needs to land in the first 30. If viewers can’t grasp what you’re offering and why should they care in half a minute, you’ve lost them.

Align tone with platform expectations

TikTok aspects casual language, fast-paced editing, and trendy hooks. LinkedIn expects professional framing, industry-specific terminology, and clear ROI discussions. Review AI-adjusted tone for authenticity.

Avoid generic openings and over-promising

“In today’s fast-paced world”, “What if I told you”. No, avoid that; it immediately screams low-quality content. Similarly, promising “10x ROI” or “overnight success” damages credibility. Stick to specific claims. “Reduce campaign setup time from 3 hours to 20 minutes” is both believable and consistent.

Test Multiple Variations Systematically

AI generators produce volume quickly. Use that for structured testing. Generate scripts with different hooks but identical body copy to isolate what opening works best. Test different CTAs while keeping the problem-solution consistent.

Don’t pick your favorite, test systematically and choose based on results.
