5-column Gab AI Deck recipe for solo YouTubers

YouTube Growth Stack wires the four highest-leverage parts of every video — title, thumbnail, opening hook, and script — into a single deck. Column 5 generates a B-roll image pack so you have visuals ready before you even hit record. Run the deck before any shoot; you walk in already knowing what the video looks like end-to-end.

How to use this recipe

  1. Click "Use this recipe" to clone the 5-column deck into your account.
  2. Drop the topic and target retention curve in column 1; it generates 6–10 title variants graded by click-through potential.
  3. Run thumbnail concepts in parallel — three to five images sketching the visual hook.
  4. Once the title-thumbnail pair is locked, write the opening 15 seconds (hook) and the full script in column 4.
  5. Generate the B-roll image pack in column 5; spec aspect ratio (16:9) and the shots you need so the model produces coherent variants.

YouTube Growth Stack FAQ

How many title variants should I generate?

8–12 per video. Pick three you like; A/B them through YouTube's built-in test (or a tool like TubeBuddy) on go-live day.

Will the thumbnails match my channel style?

Pin a thumbnail style brief (palette, typography, face/no-face, expression) and reference it explicitly across every thumbnail run. Save the deck as a recipe — your style stays consistent across every video.

Can it produce shorts as well?

Yes — fork the deck into a 9:16 short variant. The same hook can drive both a 60s short and a 15-minute long-form, which is the most common YouTube growth pattern in 2026.

Does it suggest tags?

Add a chat column dedicated to YouTube SEO (tags, description, end-screen CTAs). Save the deck as a recipe to keep the SEO discipline consistent.

How do I match the script to actual recording?

Don't read the script verbatim — use it as a guardrail. Spec teleprompter-friendly phrasing in column 4 so the lines come out conversational on camera.

Can the B-roll pack include stock footage?

The image pack is generated; for stock footage, layer Pexels / Storyblocks in your editor. Generate concept variants in the deck so you know what to look for.
