We get it

You're an occupational therapist, not a video editor. You don't need to become one.

You can spot a bathroom that won't work for a client in seconds and explain energy conservation in a way that finally clicks. But video probably felt like a different job: cameras, lights, timelines, cutting, captions, music. So it stayed on the "someday" list.

With jajavideo you write (or let AI write) what you want to say. That's it. The built-in director splits it into scenes, picks a visual for every sentence, adds a natural voice-over, music and animated captions. You don't need to be a good speaker or writer either. The prompt on this page writes the scripts from your expertise. You just check that the advice is right for a general audience.

These videos share general information, not personal medical advice.

Why video works for OTs

Most people don't know what an occupational therapist does. A 40-second video fixes that.

Families, carers and referral partners often confuse OT with physiotherapy or don't know they can ask for it. Video lets them learn from you before they ever call.

Explain a confusing profession

One short video can answer the question you hear every week: so what exactly do you do? A clear answer makes the first phone call much easier.

Trust before the first visit

Someone who watched a few of your practical tips already feels they know how you work. The first appointment starts warmer.

Reach carers and families

The person who searches for help is often a partner, an adult child or a carer, not the client. Short videos meet them where they are.

Show the everyday wins

OT is about real life: getting dressed, cooking, returning to work. A short that shows one small change makes the value concrete.

Step by step

From zero to a week of OT videos in one sitting

Copy the OT prompt below

Add your name, your area or setting, and who you usually help. Your details go straight into the prompt.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

You get 10 scripts, each explaining one practical OT idea, each opening with a hook and ending with your name.

Check the advice like you'd check a home visit plan

You're the expert. Fix anything that's too specific for a general audience or not how you'd say it. Five minutes.

Paste all 10 into jajavideo's Bulk tab

Sign up free, open Bulk, paste. The AAA lines split them into 10 separate videos.

Pick a voice, press Generate, then post or schedule

Each video is a vertical MP4 for Shorts, TikTok, Reels and Facebook. Post them at your own pace, or schedule them on the platforms so one goes live each week while you work.

The format

Plain text, a Title: line, AAA between scripts

No scenes, no visual directions. Just what should be said. This is exactly what you paste:

Title: OT tip: the chair height fix nobody mentions
Watch someone stand up from a dining chair and you'll often see them push hard with their arms. Before you buy anything, check the seat height. A simple rule: the person's feet should rest flat on the floor and their knees should sit around hip height, roughly a right angle. If the chair is too low, a firm cushion or a raised seat can make the difference. If it's too high, a small footstool under the feet gives them something to push against. Try it at the kitchen table tonight, with someone standing nearby the first time. Small changes to everyday furniture can make standing up feel much easier. Want a home safety checklist?

The OT prompt: 10 expert scripts in one go

Fill in your details. The prompt updates as you type. Copy it into any AI chat and paste the answer straight into jajavideo.

Prompt for Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini
You are an expert short-form video scriptwriter and an experienced occupational therapist. Write 10 scripts for faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels for an occupational therapist.

About me:
- Name or practice: [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE]
- City or area: online, no specific area
- Who I usually help: older adults and their families
- My focus: home safety and falls prevention
- Language of the scripts: English

Rules for every script:
1. Teach ONE specific, practical idea that a general audience can understand and try safely. No generic ads like "Struggling at home? Call me".
2. The first sentence is the hook: a common mistake, a myth, or a real question families ask. It must keep the viewer watching past the first 3 seconds.
3. 90 to 130 words of flowing spoken narration (about 30 to 50 seconds). Plain language, short sentences. No jargon without a one-line explanation. No scene directions, emojis, lists or headings.
4. Include one concrete detail: a number, a height, a room, an everyday object or a real situation.
5. General education only. No personal medical advice, no diagnosis, no promises of recovery or results. Encourage people to speak to their own therapist or doctor about their situation. Mention that someone should be nearby when trying a new technique for the first time.
6. End with this sentence: "Want a home safety checklist? Search [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE] on Google.". Write any website as words, for example "example dot com".
7. Each script covers a different topic. Mix mistakes, myths, family questions, quick how-tos, home safety and daily routines.

Format (follow exactly):
- Start each script with one line: Title: [topic]: [hook]. The title is not read aloud.
- Then the narration as one paragraph.
- After each script, a line that contains only AAA.

Output only the 10 scripts in this format, nothing before or after. I will paste them straight into jajavideo.

Video 2 · Why the bathroom is the room most falls happen in

Read the script

Title: Home safety: why the bathroom is the room most falls happen inAsk most families which room worries them and they say the stairs. But the bathroom deserves a closer look. It's small, the floor gets wet, and people often move in a hurry. Three simple checks take five minutes. First, is there something solid to hold when stepping in and out of the shower or bath? A properly fitted grab rail is better than a towel rail, which is not designed to take weight. Second, is there a non-slip mat inside the shower? Third, can they reach the towel and the soap without stretching or twisting? None of this is about buying a lot. It's about removing the small risks that add up. Want a room-by-room checklist? Search BrightPath OT on Google.

Video 3 · Getting dressed with one hand: 3 tricks

Read the script

Title: Daily living: getting dressed with one hand, 3 simple tricksAfter an injury to an arm or hand, getting dressed can feel like a mountain. Here are three tricks occupational therapists use. First, dress the weaker side first and undress it last. That way the fabric goes on over the arm that needs more help. Second, sit down to dress your lower half. It sounds obvious, but standing on one leg in a small bedroom is where people wobble. Third, choose clothes with a little stretch or a front opening, at least while things are healing. Loose sleeves and elastic waists save a lot of effort. Try one change tomorrow morning, with someone nearby the first time. Small changes to a routine can make the whole day easier. Want more daily living tips? Search BrightPath OT on Google.

  9. Use a timer to pace a task
  10. Build a short home safety checklist for a parent

Your OT instinct applies here too

What makes a Short get watched

Think of it like setting up a task for a client: one clear goal, the right steps, nothing extra.

The first 3 seconds are the hook

Open with the mistake, the myth or the family question. If the first sentence doesn't earn the reason to keep watching, nothing after it is seen.

Title as Topic: hook

"Home safety: why the bathroom is the room most falls happen in" tells the viewer and the platform exactly who it's for.

One idea per video

Same rule as a treatment plan: one goal at a time. Three tips in 40 seconds means none sticks in the viewer's memory.

Help first, credit last

No "Struggling at home? Call me!" openers. The practical tip earns attention. Your name in the last line earns the follow-up search.

Keep it general and safe

Share ideas that a broad audience can try, with a reminder to check with their own therapist or doctor. That keeps the videos helpful and within professional advertising rules.

More videos, more people who know you

You tell clients that change takes time. So does building an audience. You don't have to post daily, but the more useful videos you put out, the more families and referrers learn your name. Make a batch in one sitting and schedule them at your own pace.

Think bigger

More than marketing: new ways to earn with video

When a finished video costs you a couple of minutes, video stops being a cost and becomes something you can offer.

Add a video series to your practice packages

Families and carers need simple reminders between visits, and many private practices want content for their social pages. Offer a short series as an add-on: you write the tips with the prompt, jajavideo makes the videos, and you deliver them under your brand. Commercial use is included on every plan, and on Unlimited you can put your own logo on the videos.

Example: 4 practices × 12 videos a month = 48 videos
Your cost on Unlimited: $27 a month in total
Your price: whatever a monthly video series is worth to them

Videos for care homes and community groups

Care homes, day centres and support groups often look for simple, friendly content to share with families. A short series is an easy way to support them.

Reach referrers in their language

Working with clinics, schools or community teams that speak another language? Make the same tips in Spanish, Japanese or Arabic. jajavideo speaks 74 languages.

Turn one handout into a set of Shorts

Take a checklist you already give clients and turn it into five scripts. Same knowledge, many more places to be found.

Explain your role to new referrers

A two-minute set of videos explaining what you do and who you help is more memorable than a leaflet when you introduce yourself to a new clinic or school.

Never made a video before? Start here

Every question a first-timer asks, answered

You've never edited a video and never used a system like this. That's fine. Most people who use jajavideo hadn't either. Pick any question below. Can't find yours? Ask Jaja, our agent.

Getting started

I have never edited a video in my life. Can I really do this?

Yes. You never open an editing program, never cut anything and never touch a timeline. You paste text into a box, pick a voice, and press Generate. jajavideo does every video step for you: it splits your text into scenes, picks a picture or clip for every sentence, records the voice-over, adds music and puts animated captions on screen. If you can copy and paste, you can make a video.

What exactly do I need before I start?

Three things: an email or Google account to sign up, a few sentences about a general occupational therapy topic (or the prompt on this page to write them), and a few minutes. No camera, microphone, software, design skills or credit card.

How do I sign up?

Go to jajavideo.com and press "Continue with Google". It takes about 10 seconds. You can also sign up with an email address. No card is asked for.

What's the very first thing I should do after I sign up?

Make one test video before anything else. Open the dashboard, stay on the Single tab, and paste this:

Title: Daily living: why buttons beat zips for practice
Here's a small tip many families never hear. When you're practising dressing at home, start with large buttons before zips. Buttons let the hand see and feel the whole movement, while a zip hides the tricky part. Do it sitting down, at the same time each day, and let the person do the last step alone even if you helped with the rest. Small wins build the habit. BrightPath Occupational Therapy shares general ideas like this every week.

Choose English and any voice, press Generate, and in a couple of minutes you'll see your first finished video. After that, everything else on this page will make sense.

How long until I have my first video?

Usually a couple of minutes per video. If many people are making videos at the same moment it can take a bit longer. You can close the tab: you'll get an email the moment it's ready.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Scripts: what the video says

What is a "script"?

Just the words the voice will say in the video. Nothing technical. For a 30–50 second video that's about 90–130 words, roughly one short paragraph.

I'm not a writer or a speaker. Who writes the scripts?

You don't have to. You have three easy options. One: copy the occupational therapy prompt on this page into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it writes 10 scripts for you. Two: inside jajavideo, type one line like "a general tip about practising dressing at home" and press ✨ Write script. Three: ask Jaja, the script assistant, for ideas in plain words. Your only job is to read the result and make sure the general advice is accurate and stays general.

What's the "Title:" line for?

It names your video so you can find it later. It is never read aloud and never shown in the video. Use the pattern Topic: hook, for example Title: Daily living: the sock trick that saves ten minutes.

Do I write anything about the pictures or scenes?

No. Write only what should be said. jajavideo's built-in director reads your sentences and chooses a matching visual for each one by itself.

How do I make people contact me at the end?

Make the last sentence your credit, for example "BrightPath Occupational Therapy shares general ideas like this every week." The voice reads it out. If you mention a website, write it as words, "brightpath dot com", so the voice says it correctly. Jaja can also add the ending for you if you tell it your practice name or website.

Can I fix a word or a sentence the AI wrote?

Of course. It's just text. Change anything before you paste it into jajavideo. If you notice a problem after the video is made, edit the text and make it again.

What if I run out of ideas?

Use the 30 ideas on this page, write down the questions families ask you most, or reply to the AI in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different general tips." You can also paste one of your own general handouts and ask for five scripts based on it.

Bulk: many videos in one paste

What is Bulk, in simple words?

Bulk lets you paste several scripts at once and get a separate video for each one. Instead of making ten videos one by one, you paste ten scripts in one go and come back to ten finished videos.

How does jajavideo know where one video ends and the next starts?

Put a line with only AAA between scripts. Each script starts with its own Title: line. Here is the smallest possible example, 3 scripts that become 3 videos:

Title: Daily living: one step at a time
When you practise a daily task at home, break it into small steps and let the person do the last one alone. Doing the final step builds confidence for the next try. BrightPath Occupational Therapy shares general ideas like this every week.
AAA
Title: Hand strength: the sponge trick
A damp sponge is an easy way to practise grip at home. Squeeze it, release it, and repeat a few times while the kettle boils. Keep it gentle and stop if anything hurts. BrightPath Occupational Therapy shares general ideas like this every week.
AAA
Title: Sensory: why quiet corners help
A quiet corner with soft cushions can help anyone settle after a busy day. It isn't a reward or a punishment, just a calm place to reset. BrightPath Occupational Therapy shares general ideas like this every week.

Real scripts should be longer (90–130 words), but that's the whole idea: Title, text, AAA, repeat.

Where do I paste them?

In the dashboard, click the Bulk tab (next to Single), paste everything into the big box, choose the language and voice, and press Generate. All videos use the same voice and caption style.

Do I have to write "AAA" myself?

No, if you use the prompt on this page. It already tells the AI to put AAA between scripts, so you copy the AI's answer and paste it as it is.

I forgot the AAA lines. What happens?

If each script starts with its own "Title:" line, jajavideo still splits them correctly. AAA is simply the safest way to be sure.

Can I mix languages in one Bulk paste?

It's best to paste one language at a time, so every video gets a voice that matches. Make the English batch, then the Spanish batch.

Where do I find all the videos afterwards?

On your Videos page. Each one appears as soon as it's ready, and you get an email when they're done. Download them any time within 30 days.

The video itself

Will my face or voice be in the video?

No. The videos are faceless: real images and short clips, a natural AI voice-over, music and captions. Nobody appears on camera, and you never record your voice.

Can I choose the voice and the captions?

Yes. Choose from 300+ natural voices in 74 languages, and from 5 caption styles: Classic, Karaoke, Word Pop, Box Highlight or Two-line.

What if I don't like how a video came out?

Press "Make it again — free". It's made again from the same script with fresh visuals, and it never counts against your free videos.

How long can a video be?

Shorts can run up to about 3 minutes of narration, but 30–60 seconds usually works best. The Unlimited + Long plan adds landscape YouTube videos up to 4 minutes.

What format is the video?

A vertical 1080×1920 MP4, the standard size for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. Make it once, post it everywhere.

Will faceless videos make me look less professional?

Not when each video shares one clear, general idea. People judge a short by whether it was worth their time. A calm, accurate tip with your practice name at the end reads as expertise.

Posting & scheduling

Do I have to post a video every day?

No. Post at the pace that suits you. The simple rule is: the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Two or three a week is a fine start. Steady beats occasional bursts.

I don't have time to upload every day. What can I do?

Schedule them. Make a batch of videos in one sitting with Bulk, then use the scheduling tools that the platforms already give you for free, so one video goes live each day (or every other day) while you work.

  • YouTube: upload in YouTube Studio and choose "Schedule" instead of "Public", then pick the date and time.
  • Instagram and Facebook: Meta Business Suite lets you schedule Reels ahead of time.
  • TikTok: on the TikTok website you can set a future posting time when you upload.

One hour on Sunday can fill the whole week. Platform menus change from time to time, so look for the "Schedule" option when you upload.

Where should I post first?

Start with one platform you already use or where your clients are, often YouTube Shorts or Instagram. Once that's a habit, post the same videos on the others. They're already the right size.

What should I write in the description?

One or two sentences about the tip, your business name, and how to contact you. On YouTube, add a link to your website if your channel allows links.

Does jajavideo upload the videos for me?

No. You download each video and post it yourself, so you stay in control of your accounts.

Results

How soon will I get clients from this?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Like any steady content, video builds up over time. Give it a few months, look at which topics get watched, and make more like those.

How do I know what's working?

Each platform shows you views and how long people watched. Look for videos that keep people watching past the first few seconds, and repeat their topic and opening style.

My first videos got few views. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. New accounts often start slowly while the platform learns who your videos are for. Keep posting at your own pace, make your first sentence stronger, and keep each video to one clear idea.

Do these videos help my practice get found?

They add visibility on YouTube, social platforms and your local business listing, and can keep visitors engaged on pages where they're embedded. No video guarantees reach or referrals, so don't promise that to anyone.

Clients & business

Can I make videos for my clients and charge for them?

Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan, so you can publish videos on your practice's accounts and use video as part of your general education work. Keep every video general and avoid personal advice about a specific person.

Can I put my own logo on the videos?

Yes, on the Unlimited plans. Every video is watermark-free, or carries your own logo if you want it.

Can I make videos in my clients' languages?

Yes, in 74 languages including right-to-left ones like Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Ask the prompt to write in that language, then pick a voice in the same language.

Free plan & price

Is it really free?

Yes. Every day you get 5 completely watermark-free videos, about 150 a month, with no card. After those 5, you can keep making videos with a small "Made with jajavideo" credit.

When do my 5 free videos reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC.

Do failed videos or redos count?

No. Only finished videos count, and "Make it again" is always free.

What do the paid plans add?

Unlimited ($27/month): unlimited watermark-free videos, your own logo, priority in the queue. Unlimited + Long ($47/month): everything in Unlimited plus landscape videos up to 4 minutes. Both are monthly PayPal subscriptions you can cancel any time.
