The prompt that gets copied
I'm adding chapters to my YouTube video about [VIDEO TOPIC, e.g. pricing your coaching packages]. Below is the transcript with timestamps. Split it into 5 to 10 chapters at the points where the topic truly changes. Follow YouTube's rules: the first chapter starts at 00:00, timestamps go in ascending order, and every chapter is at least 10 seconds long. Write each chapter title in plain words a viewer might search for, under 40 characters, with no clickbait. Use the format 00:00 Title, one chapter per line. After the list, flag any chapter where you weren't sure about the start time, so I can check it. Transcript: [PASTE TIMESTAMPED TRANSCRIPT]
Paste your video's timestamped transcript and get chapter titles that follow YouTube's rules, so viewers can jump to the part they need and your description looks finished.
