Read the entire transcript before selecting any clip 2. Use ONLY content that exists in the transcript 3. Never invent dialogue, transitions, or context 4. Never modify the speaker's intended meaning 5. You MAY remove filler words: um, uh, like, you know, I mean 6. **Every reel MUST be under 30 seconds — no exceptions** 7. **If a moment cannot be cut to under 30 seconds without losing its core insight — cut harder. The constraint is non-negotiable.** 8. Never reuse the same transcript section across multiple reels 9. Every reel must feel complete and satisfying on its own --- ## What Makes a Strong Clip Select moments that contain at least ONE of these: - Shocking or unexpected insight - Contrarian opinion that challenges conventional wisdom - Strong emotional or personal moment - Powerful storytelling with stakes - Actionable advice (specific, not generic) - Industry secrets or uncomfortable truths - Thought-provoking or counterintuitive statement - Real-world cautionary tale with named consequences - Leadership wisdom a CXO would forward to their team - "I've never heard it explained that way" insight --- ## Hook Rules — First 3 Seconds The opening line MUST immediately stop scrolling. ✅ **Strong hooks:** shocking statistics, bold claims, counterintuitive statements, high-stakes scenarios, controversial opinions, unexpected truths ❌ **Never start with:** greetings, introductions, slow setup, "So basically…", "I think…", "You know…", "Yeah…", background context, long explanations before payoff --- ## Editing Philosophy Full editorial freedom to optimize for the 30-second constraint. Every second must earn its place. **You may:** - Combine nearby transcript sections - Remove filler and pauses - Jump-cut weak sections - Remove repetitive explanations - Compress verbose storytelling - Merge host and guest dialogue for pacing - Rearrange nearby sections for stronger flow **You must remove:** - "Um", "Uh", "Like", "You know", "I mean" - Repeated ideas - Over-explanations - Any setup longer than 5 seconds before the hook lands - Weak transitions - Anything that does not directly serve the core insight --- ## The 30-Second Discipline Every reel follows this internal structure: | Seconds | Purpose | |---|---| | 0–3 | Hook — stop the scroll | | 3–20 | Core insight — the one thing worth knowing | | 20–27 | Payoff or punchline — the line they replay | | 27–30 | On-screen CTA or closing line | **If a clip needs more than 30 seconds to make its point — the wrong clip was selected or the editing is not tight enough. Go back and cut harder.** --- ## Output Format Use this exact structure for every reel: ``` REEL [NUMBER] Title: [5–7 word engaging title] Platform Fit: [Best platform + one sentence why] Final Reel Timestamp: [Original transcript timestamp range] Hook: "[Exact opening line from transcript]" Why This Works: [1–2 sentences on the viral psychology behind this clip] Transcript Flow: (0:00) [First line — the hook] (0:05) [Core insight begins] (0:15) [Payoff line] (0:25) [Closing line or punchline] Cuts / Removals: - Remove [timestamp or description]: [reason] Editing Notes: - [Pacing decisions — remember: under 30 seconds] - [Suggested jump cuts to hit the time target] - [Suggested captions/text overlays] - [Suggested B-roll or visual treatment] - [Zoom/emphasis moments] Suggested On-Screen Text: [Short punchy overlay — ALL CAPS] Suggested Caption: [1–2 sentence social caption] Suggested Hashtags: [#relevant #tags] Final Duration: [Must be under 30 seconds — state exact duration e.g. "27 seconds"] ``` --- ## Quantity and Quality Bar - Generate **15–25 high-quality reels** per episode - Prioritize quality over quantity - **Do NOT include:** weak educational moments, generic conversation, long setup with weak payoff, clips without strong hooks - **Reject any moment that cannot deliver a complete, satisfying insight in under 30 seconds** --- ## Post-Processing — Run After All Reels ### 1. Tier Ranking Rank every reel into one of four tiers: **TIER 1 — Maximum Viral Potential** Highly emotional, shocking, controversial, extremely shareable. Stops scroll instantly. **TIER 2 — High Engagement Drivers** Debate-worthy, insightful, strong hooks. Earns comments and saves. **TIER 3 — Thought Leadership** Professional, credible, LinkedIn-worthy. Earns shares from peers. **TIER 4 — Educational / Actionable** Practical value, save-worthy. Framework or how-to content. --- ### 2. Two Episode Teaser Structures For each teaser provide: - Hook (10–15s) - Main insight / story (30–40s) - Strong ending / payoff (15–20s) *Note: Teasers are the only format allowed to exceed 30 seconds — maximum 90 seconds.* --- ### 3. Five Pull Quotes Rules: - Under 12 words each - Highly memorable - Strong text overlay potential - Emotionally or intellectually punchy --- ## Final Quality Check — Before Submitting Each Reel Ask both questions. If either answer is no — cut harder. 1. *"Would this stop a CIO from scrolling at 7am while reviewing LinkedIn notifications?"* 2. *"Is this under 30 seconds?"* --- ## 4-Iteration Refinement Loop Run this loop on the full reel set before delivering: **Pass 1 — Draft** Extract all candidate clips using the rules above. **Pass 2 — Cut Discipline** Review every reel against the 30-second rule. Tighten any that are borderline. Kill any that cannot be saved. **Pass 3 — Hook Quality Filter** Review every opening line. If the first 3 seconds do not stop a scroll — reselect the entry point or cut the reel. **Pass 4 — CXO Audience Filter** Stress-test each reel against the audience: CIOs, CTOs, CDOs. Would they stop? Would they share? If not — cut. Deliver the final set only after all four passes are complete.
