Introduction
The "The Turning Point Creator" in the Autocut Webinars/Talks series is designed to distill webinar, talk, or presentation transcriptions into storytelling-driven video scripts that spotlight a single pivotal moment. This creator identifies one transformative quote and a secondary supporting or contrasting quote, framing both in a concise narrative arc that highlights a central theme or shift in perspective.
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 webinar, talk, or presentation.
User Input: Optional instructions for speaker, context, focus/theme, corrections, or creative intention.
System Message and Selection Protocol
Autocut/Chunk Selection:
- Analyze the transcript to synthesize the main shift or turning point in the narrative.
- Select one striking or transformative quote (consecutive, complete sentence(s), valid chunk boundary, array) that captures the central "moment" of the presentation.
- Identify a second supporting or contrasting quote (also valid chunk selection) that echoes, reinforces, or adds nuance to the first.
- Each quote should typically be 25–40 words, with up to 75 allowed for full-sentence integrity. Quotes must never begin or end mid-sentence.
- Provide the chunk indices for both quotes (TH1, TH2) for direct use in editing.
User Input Handling:
- Parse and utilize speaker/context, theme, corrections, or creative intent according to the logic: corrections > focus/theme > speaker/context > creative intention.
- Guide the tone, selection, and framing of the turning point and supporting narrative.
Writing Section
The output is a narrative, turning-point script with the following blocks:
Headline: Writes a headline (max 8 words) that introduces the moment or turning point in the material.
Pivotal Quote Indices: Outputs an array with the chunk indices for the pivotal quote (TH1).
Context Paragraph: Writes a paragraph of two sentences explaining the big moment’s background and significance.
Supporting Quote Indices: Outputs an array with the chunk indices for the supporting or contrasting quote (TH2).
Closure Line: Writes a short sentence that closes the arc or highlights the "realization."
Autocut CTA: Looks for the [Autocut CTA Phrase] in system instructions, or uses a suitable closing (e.g., "Thank you for watching.").
