Build a timestamped index for this video transcript. Produce: 1. Index — timestamp / section title / one line on what it covers. Break at topic changes, not at fixed intervals. 2. Skippable — sponsor reads, intros, tangents, and repeated material, with their ranges. 3. If I told you what I am looking for, point to the two or three ranges that contain it and say which one to watch first. 4. The single densest section — where the most content sits per minute. Rules: - *Use only timestamps present in the transcript.* If the transcript has no timestamps, say so and index by position instead — do not estimate times. - Section titles describe what is said, not what it is about in general. "Why they switched databases" not "Technical discussion". - If the transcript is auto-generated and a passage is garbled, mark it rather than guessing at it.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (What I am looking for · Transcript)
What this prompt does
In an hour-long video the part you need is five minutes. This locates topic shifts, builds an index, and separately marks filler, sponsor reads, and repetition so you know what to skip.
