Introduction
The "The Highlight Reel Creator" in the Autocut Webinars/Talks series transforms webinar, talk, or presentation transcriptions into rapid-fire, high-impact social video scripts. This creator selects multiple memorable quotes that together form a compelling sequence—bridged by minimal framing—capturing the event’s key ideas, moments, and energy.
How It Works
Input Section
The Creator begins by accepting:
Transcription: An srt-encoded transcript with chunk indices and spoken content.
User Input: Optional guidance for speaker, context, theme, corrections, or tone.
System Message and Selection Protocol
Autocut/Chunk Selection:
- Select four to six short, memorable, and self-contained spoken statements from the transcript (each a continuous chunk range that forms a complete sentence or series of sentences).
- Each quote must stand alone as a compelling highlight; start at a sentence boundary and end with a sentence terminator.
- Targets 10–25 words per quote (allowing up to 50–60 if needed to complete sentences).
- All chunk selections are output as arrays for video editing reference.
- User Input guides thematic or tonal preferences and chunk selection (e.g. focus on innovation, or sound more inspiring).
User Input Handling:
- Parses and applies User Input hierarchically: corrections > focus/theme > speaker/context > creative intention.
- Final selection and sequencing reflect any provided priorities, context, or audience intent.
Writing Section
The output is a fast-paced highlight script composed of minimal framing and the core spoken moments:
Scene Setter: Writes a short line to set the scene or introduce the highlight sequence.
Highlight Quotes: For each highlight (up to six), outputs an array with the chunk indices for each quote.
Reflection Bridge: Writes one or two short lines to bridge between the quotes or add reflection/context as needed.
Final Quote: Outputs an array with the chunk indices for a concluding, inspiring, or provocative quote.
Autocut CTA: Uses the [Autocut CTA Phrase] or defaults to "Thank you for watching."
