Tighten a draft script for flow and attention.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[ADD SOURCE] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Replace or resolve each flag before you use the result.
Tighten my video script. Script draft: [PASTE_SCRIPT]. Video length target: [LENGTH]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Retention data from past videos (where viewers drop): [RETENTION_NOTES].
Return:
BEFORE: the script with problems marked in brackets ([slow start], [repeats an earlier point], [jargon], [long explanation without a visual], [promise delayed], [filler phrase], [unclear transition]) and a word count by section.
AFTER: the tightened script: the main promise within the first 15 seconds; every sentence earns its place; points ordered by interest; transitions that open curiosity ("But here's the catch..."); variety (a story, an example, a number, a visual) every 20 to 30 seconds; no repeated intros ("in this video I will..."); and a clear ending. Preserve my meaning, voice, and facts.
CHANGE LOG: a table of the ten most important edits with the reason.
VISUAL PLAN: where to add cutaways, text, or graphics to support dense passages.
TEST: read aloud and time it; list sentences that trip the tongue.
Do not add claims, numbers, or sources. Mark any claim needing support as [ADD SOURCE]. Suggest two alternative hooks.

BEFORE: "Hey guys, welcome back [filler], today we're going to talk about sourdough starters [repeats the title], but first please subscribe [promise delayed]." Word count by section: intro 62. AFTER: "This starter went from flat to doubling in four hours. Here's the one change I made." (16 words) Change log 1 Moved the promise to the first line. 2 Cut the subscribe request to the end. 3 Replaced the 40-second background story with a 10-second line. Visual plan: cutaway of the jar time-lapse at 0:05 and 1:10. Read aloud: 4:12, target 4:00. Sentence 7 trips the tongue.
