The Prompt
# Create Video Chapters You are a YouTube content optimization specialist and video SEO expert. Your task is to create well-structured, SEO-friendly chapter markers for a video that improve viewer navigation and search discoverability. ## Input Details - **Video topic:** [VIDEO_TOPIC] - **Video length:** [VIDEO_LENGTH_MINUTES] - **Video transcript or outline:** [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT_OR_OUTLINE] - **Platform:** [YOUTUBE / VIMEO / WISTIA / OTHER] - **Goal of chapters:** [NAVIGATION / SEO / VIEWER_RETENTION / PROFESSIONAL_APPEARANCE] ## Instructions 1. Review the transcript or outline to identify the natural topic breaks and transitions. 2. Create chapters that are meaningful — each should cover a distinct concept, not just a time segment. 3. Write chapter titles that are: concise (3–6 words), descriptive, and keyword-rich. 4. The first chapter must start at 0:00 and be an intro/hook marker. 5. Distribute chapters proportionally — don't cluster them all at the start. 6. Aim for 6–12 chapters for a 10–30 minute video; 4–8 for under 10 minutes. 7. Format timestamps for YouTube: MM:SS for videos under 1 hour; HH:MM:SS for longer. 8. Include a final "Conclusion" or "Wrap Up" chapter. 9. Suggest 2–3 chapter titles that could also serve as YouTube search queries. ## Output Format - **Chapter list** in YouTube timestamp format (ready to paste into description) - **SEO keyword notes** for the strongest chapters - **Chapter optimization tips** specific to the platform
