Introduction

The "Quickfire Q&A Creator" in the Autocut interview series is designed to convert interview transcriptions into energetic, rapid-fire Q&A-style video scripts. This creator is built for tempo and engagement, drawing natural, concise questions and answers from the speaker’s own words to maximize viewer interest and variety.

How It Works

Input Section

The Creator begins by accepting:

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

User Input: Optional instructions for speaker, context, focus/theme, corrections, or creative angle.

System Message and Selection Protocol

Autocut/Chunk Selection:

Three to five short, engaging questions are reverse-engineered from the transcript, each ≤8 words.
For each, the model selects a consecutive, verbatim answer from the transcript, starting at a sentence boundary and ending with proper punctuation.
Each answer should be a natural, full thought—never a fragment—with a target of 15–35 words, up to 60–75 for completeness.
Answers always omit repetition of the question.
Each answer’s selected chunks are returned as an array (TH1–TH5).

User Input Handling:

Parses and applies User Input for spelling correction, focus/theme, speaker/context, or creative intention, always following the hierarchy: corrections > focus/theme > speaker/context > creative intention.
Instructions guide the question styles, answer selection, and overall tone.

Writing Section

The output is a tight, high-energy Q&A sequence:

Headline: Writes a short, energetic headline that matches the theme of the session.

Format Introduction: Writes one short sentence that introduces or sets the tone for the quickfire approach.

Q&A Blocks: For each of up to five questions:

Question Header (SHx): Writes the quick, engaging question.
Answer (THx): Outputs the chunk indices ( array) for the answer.

Wrap-up: Writes a short closing or reflective line.

Autocut CTA: Prints the [Autocut CTA Phrase] or “Thank you for watching.”, translated as needed.
