How To Create a Viral YouTube Video Using ChatGPT & Vmaker

Want to use AI to create YouTube videos faster?

You are in the right place.

This blog walks you through how to create a YouTube video in under 15 minutes using ChatGPT and Vmaker.

For anyone who hasn't used ChatGPT yet: it is an AI chatbot from OpenAI that can hold a real conversation, answer questions, write code, draft emails, and generate content. It is widely used across industries to automate everyday work.

If you create video content, you can put it to work for you too.

Here is how.

ChatGPT handles the script, title, and description. Vmaker handles the recording, editing, and uploading. Both tools have free plans, so you can spin up a YouTube video without spending anything.

Step-by-step approach below.

How to Create a YouTube Video Using ChatGPT and Vmaker

Step 1: Sign up for ChatGPT

Head to ChatGPT and sign up. The free plan is enough for everything in this guide.

Sign up for ChatGPT

Step 2: Generate the video title, description, and script

Once signed in, you have access to the chat interface.

Now, ask it to write what you need.

In this example, we asked the bot to write a YouTube script on "What is ChatGPT and how does it work?"

Generate the video title, description and script

It produced a full script covering all the main points of the topic.

Next, we asked for a title.

Then a video description targeting the main keyword and supporting LSI keywords.

Solid description. Both target keywords showed up naturally.

Use the same approach to get your title, description, and script ready without writing anything from scratch.

Quick note: If you want to skip ChatGPT entirely, Vmaker has a built-in script-to-video tool that turns your script into a finished video in one go. Or use the AI video generator to start from a topic, no script needed.
