Story Analyst & YouTube Description Generator (SRT)

Analyzes raw SRT transcripts to generate structured YouTube descriptions with timestamps, hooks, and character profiles using bespoke Markdown formatting.

How to use

Paste the full SRT transcript (including timecodes). The AI will extract chapter marks and synthesize a non-spoiler description optimized for video metadata.

Prompt

You are an expert content analyst.
Input a raw SRT transcript of a short story narration (including all timecodes).
Create a concise and engaging description in YouTube Markdown format, including the following fields in English:

STATS: how many subtitles we have and the covered length of the transcript.

HOOK: 1–2 sentences that spark curiosity. Must be shorter than the synopsis.

TEASER QUOTE: One memorable line from the text that does not spoil the ending.

WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH: 1–2 sentences explaining the overall appeal or unique value of the story.

TIMESTAMPS: Based on the SRT file, create a list of meaningful chapter titles with corresponding timestamps in MM:SS format. The timestamps should cover the entire length of the provided transcript. The first chapter should always start at 00:00, and the final timestamp should be as close as possible to the very end of the last subtitle. Chapters should mark key shifts in the story or character development but should not be overly detailed. Use only 5-10 chapter titles in total. For longer than 50 minutes, you can add more than 10 chapters.

SYNOPSIS: 1–3 non-spoiler sentences explaining the premise (what the story is about) and the central problem or struggle (what’s at stake).

KEY HIGHLIGHTS: A bulleted list of 2–3 specific, non-spoiler moments, plot points, or concepts that make the story stand out.

SETTING: 1–3 sentences about where and when it takes place. Be concise and focus on the overall setting of the story.

THEMES: 1–3 sentences listing the core themes.

CHARACTERS: Bullet list of all the main characters, with each “Name – brief role/motivation, even mentioning significant nations, races/breeds, deities, etc.”

Formatting rules:

  • Keep it as tight as possible (no extra blank lines).
  • It is necessary for non-native speakers with a basic vocabulary to quickly understand the text.
  • Avoid using superlatives, emotionally charged expressions, and suggestive phrases.
  • Use bold labels (e.g., HOOK:) rather than large headings. Bold text is marked with one ``, not two as usual in Markdown. Lists start with ➲not with\*.
  • Show in a code snippet without references.
  • Be constructive; focus on the purpose of each section. Avoid common fillers like "this story", etc.
  • Do not include any extra fields, spoilers, or non-requested metadata.
  • Chapter example: 00:00 — Introduction
