Part 2. How to Make A Good Video Script with Mistral AI

Using Mistral AI for scriptwriting is simple. The secret to your success is in the way you build your prompts.

Step 1: Sign up and access Le Chat

Go to https://mistral.ai/. Set up your account for free. Find Le Chat in the left sidebar of your dashboard to access it. A plain chat window will open up for you to write in your commands.

Step 2: Write your prompt

In the Ask Le Chat bar, type a clear and specific instruction.

Good video example:

"Write a 45-second YouTube Shorts script about eco-friendly skincare for Gen Z."

Step 3: Include context

To get better results, add extra context:

"Make the tone fun and casual. Add a hook in the first sentence. End with a CTA to follow the channel."

Step 4: Submit and review

Hit Enter and let Mistral AI generate the script. Read the result. If needed, type follow-ups like: "Make it more energetic. Shorten it to 30 seconds and use simpler words."

Step 5: Copy your final script

When you're happy, copy the script and use it in your video editor, either for voiceover, on-camera delivery, or as captions.

How to Make a Good Prompt:

• Clear and Specific: Inform Mistral precisely what you want, whether it's a video script for a tech product review, narration for a humorous TikTok video, or a serious educational clip.
• Include Context: Specify details such as target audience, tone, and medium (e.g., YouTube, Shorts, or TikTok).
• Conversational or Instructional: Structure prompts like: "Write a YouTube video script on..." or "Generate an engaging intro for..."
• Iterate and Refine: "Use upbeat language," "Make it shorter," and "Simplify the words used" are some options to request edits.

Part 3. How to Make a Video from Your Mistral AI Script

While Mistral AI doesn't generate video on its own, it gives you the core element: the script. You need an editor designed for AI-enhanced collaboration to refine that script into a seamless video ready for the audience.

The AI Text-to-Speech (TTS) function in Wondershare Filmora makes it easy to transform your Mistral script into audio that sounds like a professional voiceover with minimal effort. You won't need a voice actor or a recording studio because the AI will perform all the talking.
