Extract a highlight-clip list from a livestream or long talk

Prompt template
I have a long livestream/interview/lecture transcript and want to pick the segments most worth cutting into highlight shorts.

Content topic: ()
Target audience: ()
Highlight tone I want: (e.g., practical knowledge / quotable lines / fun and funny)
Transcript:
(paste it; timestamps are even better)

Please:
1. Pick 5-8 segments suited to 30-60-second shorts
2. Mark each segment's approximate start/end position (use timestamps if available)
3. Give each a click-worthy short-video title
4. Write a three-second opening hook line for each, and why the segment is worth cutting.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into CapCut or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
