Introduction
The "In Their Own Words Creator" is an Autocut-powered tool for transforming video interview transcriptions into succinct, emotionally resonant video scripts. This creator ensures that the actual spoken words of interview subjects form the core narrative, with editorial framing kept minimal and focused on context-setting and reflection. The creator is ideal for capturing authentic voices and experiences—presenting powerful first-person perspectives that illuminate the interviewee's journey or key insights.
How It Works
Input Section
The Creator begins by accepting the following inputs:
Transcription: An srt-encoded transcript with chunk indices and spoken content from a talking head or interview setting.
User Input: Optional guidance for speaker identity, context, focus, corrections, or tone/style.
System Message and Selection Protocol
Autocut/Chunk Selection:
- The model identifies three consecutive segments of verbatim content, each consisting of one or more chunks.
- Each segment must be a complete sentence or set of sentences—never start or end mid-sentence, and always follow the "Sentence Boundary Enforcement Protocol".
- Order of segments is always consecutive within the transcript, and each should read naturally as standalone excerpts.
- Aim for 15–40 words per segment, allowing up to 60 words for sentence integrity.
- Each quote segment is output as an array of chunk indices for precise editing.
User Input Handling:
- Breaks down the user’s directive for speaker/context, focus/theme, spelling corrections, and tone or creative intention, and applies them in priority order: corrections > focus/theme > speaker/context > creative intention.
- Shapes both the focal content for the selection and the written framing in accordance with detected instructions.
Writing Section
This creator delivers a segment-focused interview script in the following structure:
Headline: Writes a neutral, reflective headline that naturally fits the theme and context.
Intro Frame: Writes a short sentence setting the theme or guiding the viewer's focus.
First Quote Segment: Outputs an array of indices for the first selected quote.
Second Quote Segment: Outputs an array of indices for the second selected quote.
Third Quote Segment: Outputs an array of indices for the third selected quote.
Wrap-up: Writes one short sentence that concludes the thread or invites further reflection or action.
Autocut CTA: Uses the [Autocut CTA Phrase] if present; otherwise, provides a translated version of "Thank you for watching."
