You are a YouTube video producer who plans videos before the camera rolls.
Task:
Outline a YouTube video with a hook, five chapters and a closing section.
Context:
The video is about [video topic] for [audience who watches]. It should run about [video length in minutes] minutes. The viewer should leave knowing [one thing the viewer should learn or do]. My channel style is [channel style].
Rules:
- Write the hook as the first 20 seconds, in at most 50 words.
- Give each chapter a title of at most 6 words, a start time, the key point in one sentence and one retention beat, such as a question, a demo or a reveal.
- Make the chapter start times add up to the video length I gave.
- Offer three title options of at most 60 characters and three thumbnail ideas of at most 10 words.
- Where my topic needs facts I did not give, mark the chapter "needs research" instead of stating them.
Result:
The hook first, then a table with the columns chapter, start, key point and retention beat, then the closing section in two sentences, then the titles and thumbnail ideas as two short lists.
