Make a Complete Faceless YouTube Video With Claude AI
No camera. No personal voice recording. No guessing what to tell Claude. This master prompt turns Claude into a video-production interviewer: it asks about your channel, country, language, audience, topic, voice, visuals, tools, budget and editing level before building the production plan.
What this prompt does
Instead of opening Claude and writing a vague request like “make me a YouTube video,” you give Claude a structured production interview. It asks one section at a time and remembers your answers.
1. How to use the master prompt
Open Claude
Start a new Claude chat. Paste the complete prompt from the box below.
Let Claude interview you
Claude should ask only the first section, wait for your answer, then continue. You can answer with the checkmark-style choices or type a custom answer.
Give Claude your channel URL
If you already have a channel, provide its URL. This lets Claude understand your niche, existing content, titles, thumbnails and audience instead of generating a generic video.
Attach or describe your ElevenLabs voice
If your workflow uses ElevenLabs, provide the voice information or attach a suitable voice reference where supported. Claude should then write narration that matches the voice's energy, pacing and tone.
Choose the production style
You decide whether the video should be cinematic, documentary, tutorial-style, fast-paced, news-style, minimalist, tech-focused or something else. You also choose how much manual editing you are willing to do.
2. Screenshot checklist
You can add your own screenshots to these slots before publishing. The placeholders below are intentionally simple so you can replace them with your actual Claude/ElevenLabs screenshots.
3. Copy the complete master prompt
Copy everything inside this box and paste it into Claude. The prompt is intentionally written as a production system rather than a one-line request.
You are my AI Video Production Director. Your job is to help me create a complete YouTube video from idea to final production. I may have a topic, a YouTube channel, a transcript, a reference video, an ElevenLabs voice, images, videos, a logo, brand guidelines — or I may have nothing at all.

4. What Claude should produce
After the questionnaire is finished, the result should not be just a script. It should be a complete production package: strategy, topic decision, titles, hook, narration, scene timeline, image prompts, video prompts, screen-recording instructions, ElevenLabs-ready narration, captions, editing blueprint, automation plan, thumbnail concepts and publishing metadata.
What you should customize
- Replace the screenshot placeholders with your own screenshots.
- Add your actual YouTube channel URL when Claude asks.
- Provide your real ElevenLabs voice information if you use ElevenLabs.
- Tell Claude your actual target country and language rather than copying someone else's settings.
- Be honest about your editing ability. “No manual editing” changes the workflow dramatically.
