What a template is (and isn't) in Vaideo
In editors like CapCut, a template is a visual design with transitions and slots for your clips. Vaideo works differently: it has no visual templates. It generates the script, voice, images and captions from text, so what you reuse is the structure of that text. For manual touch-ups or to add your own clips and photos there's Vaideo Editor (free), also without templates.
A good prompt template sets the format (list, story, question), the hook, the length and the close, leaving bracketed gaps for the topic. That keeps your account recognisable without repeating content. No structure guarantees a video will go viral; it helps the video be clear and land from the first second.
6 prompt templates to copy
1. List: “[Number] [things/mistakes/facts] about [topic] almost nobody knows. Start with the most surprising one. [Length] seconds.” 2. Myth or fact: “Myth or fact: [popular belief]. Explain what the evidence says in plain language and end with a practical tip. [Length] seconds.”
3. Question: “Why does [everyday phenomenon] happen? Answer in three clear sentences and close with a fun fact. [Length] seconds.” 4. Story with a twist: “Tell the true story of [person/place/event] in [length] seconds. Open at the tensest moment and save the twist for the end.”
5. Comparison: “[A] vs [B]: three key differences for [audience] and which one suits each case. [Length] seconds.” 6. Series: “Part [n] of [total]: [topic]. End with a question that leads into the next part. [Length] seconds.”
Getting the most from them without repeating yourself
Add a tone (“friendly”, “mysterious”, “direct”) and an audience (“for beginners”, “for parents”) to any template. The more specific the gap, the better the script. If you already have the opening line, write it word for word: it decides whether anyone keeps watching.
Pair the template with one of the 10 visual styles and a shared style hint for the whole series, so your videos are recognisable at a glance. Rotate formats: always posting the same structure on near-identical topics is what platforms treat as repetitive content.
Review every script before posting. The AI can invent or get a fact wrong, especially in “fun fact” lists, so double-check anything that sounds too surprising.

Frequently asked questions
Does Vaideo have visual templates like CapCut?+
No. Vaideo has no visual templates. The “templates” on this page are prompt structures you copy and fill in; the look comes from the visual style you choose. For manual touch-ups there's Vaideo Editor (free), but it has no templates either.
Can I add my own videos or photos to a template?+
Not to a template: the AI uses free stock or AI-generated images, and you can swap the image in any scene for another. You can add your own videos or photos afterwards in Vaideo Editor (free).
Which video format works best on TikTok?+
There's no single winner. Lists, myths, questions and twist stories are common in short-form video because they have a clear hook. Test several and keep the ones that hold your audience.
Is using the same template every time a problem?+
Yes, if the videos end up nearly identical: platforms penalise repetitive content and audiences get bored. Rotate formats and bring your own angle.
Does it include music?+
No. You can add your own track in Vaideo Editor (free) or a sound in TikTok's editor when you post.
Which languages can I use the templates in?+
Narration can be in English or Spanish, with one natural AI voice per language.
How much does it cost?+
Free: 1 video a day up to 30 s in 720p, watermarked. One-time packs that never expire (5 videos for €5, 15 for €12, 40 for €25): each video up to 5 min in 1080p with no watermark.
