Prompt · October 31, 2026
Below is the transcript of a long video I've already published: a podcast, a webinar, an interview or a talk. I want to cut it into short vertical clips for [platform, e.g. TikTok, Reels or Shorts], each [clip length, e.g. 30 to 45 seconds].

Find up to [number of clips] moments that work for someone who never saw the full video. A good moment makes one clear point, starts without needing earlier context and ends on a line that lands. Skip intros, sponsor reads and anything that only makes sense with slides on screen.

For each clip, give me:
1. Start and end timestamps, and the length in seconds.
2. Why it stands alone, in one sentence.
3. The first spoken line as it is, and whether it works as a hook. If it doesn't, write a text hook for the first two seconds, under eight words.
4. What to trim inside the clip: filler, a tangent or a false start, with timestamps.
5. Three on-screen captions for the key lines, under six words each.
6. A post caption under 150 characters and one question that invites comments.

Then rank the clips by the strength of their opening line and tell me which one to post first.

Rules: quote the transcript exactly and don't put words in the speaker's mouth. If a clip needs a line from elsewhere in the video to make sense, say so and drop it. If the transcript has no timestamps, point to the nearest line instead and tell me.
