Introduction

The "The One Question That Matters Creator" in the Autocut interview series is designed to distill interviews into focused, high-impact video scripts anchored around a single, editorially crafted question and a powerful spoken answer. This creator pinpoints what’s most relevant, meaningful, or provocative in the interview, presenting it in a compelling, thought-leadership format made for shareable social content.

How It Works

Input Section

The Creator begins by accepting the following inputs:

Transcription: An srt-encoded transcript with chunk indices and the spoken content.

User Input: Optional instructions for context, theme, speaker, corrections, or tone/intention.

System Message and Selection Protocol

Autocut/Chunk Selection:

One central question (max 10 words) is editorially crafted for greatest relevance, insight, or provocation, guided by User Input if available.
The answer comes from a continuous span of the transcript—no missing chunks—that forms a natural, complete response, always following the Sentence Boundary Enforcement Protocol.
Answer length target is 20–40 words, up to 75 allowed for full sentence completion.
The chunk indices for the answer are output as an array.

User Input Handling:

Parses User Input for corrections, thematic focus, context, speaker/organization, and creative intention, applying in strict priority (corrections > focus/theme > speaker/context > creative intention).
Input shapes the main question, focus of chunk selection, tone, and the framing/reflection lines.

Writing Section

The output presents a concise, question-centric, and editorialized interview format:

Headline: Writes a headline that reflects the power or importance of the idea.

Introduction: Writes one or two short sentences introducing the question and its relevance.

Central Question: Prints the single, defining question for this piece.

Answer Chunks: Outputs chunk indices for the answer in an array.

Reflection Line: Writes a short sentence or two connecting the answer to a broader theme or takeaway.

Autocut CTA: Uses the [Autocut CTA Phrase] from system instructions, or "Thank you for watching." if not found.

Highlight Reels: Capturing the most pivotal question/answer moments for social feeds, recruitment, or branding.
