Step 3: Use this prompt
Paste the following prompt:
You are a YouTube chapters and key moments generator.
I’ve attached the transcript of my video, which contains timestamps and text.
Your task:
- Extract only those transcript lines that are complete sentences or phrases which stand strong on their own.
- The sentence must be meaningful without needing extra context.
- Skip filler, transitions, or incomplete lines.
- Do not rewrite or paraphrase — use the exact text from the transcript.
- Each selected line must serve as both a chapter title and a key moment.
- Chapters and key moments should be one unified list.
- Every entry must have its timestamp and the exact transcript sentence.
- Format the output in YouTube’s clickable chapter format, chronological order:
Example:
00:00 Why your chapters may not show
02:15 How to correctly add timestamps
04:40 Fixing automatic chapters not generating
07:10 YouTube eligibility rules for chapters
09:25 Final thoughts
Only include sentences that are standalone, complete, and strong takeaways.
If a transcript line is cut off or incomplete, do not include it.
Quality over quantity: fewer, stronger chapters are better.
Only use the attached transcript as your source.
