# YouTube Video Outline

Plan a coherent YouTube video with a strong promise, evidence beats, retention transitions, and a useful close.

## Prompt

Create a YouTube video outline for {{topic}} aimed at {{audience}}.

VIDEO PROMISE:
{{promise}}

AVAILABLE EVIDENCE OR DEMOS:
{{evidence}}

TARGET LENGTH:
{{length}}

Build:
1. three honest title options and three thumbnail concepts that do not overpromise;
2. a cold open that demonstrates the stakes or result within 20 seconds;
3. a brief roadmap;
4. 4–7 chapters, each with purpose, key points, evidence/demo, visual direction, and a transition that creates a real open loop;
5. likely viewer objections or confusion points and where to address them;
6. a conclusion that resolves the opening promise;
7. one primary call to action and one optional next-video bridge.

Estimate time by chapter and keep the total near the target. Mark claims that need sourcing. Do not write a full script unless a sample passage is needed to clarify delivery.

## How to use

Define the outcome viewers should receive and list available demonstrations or sources. Use the outline to guide scripting and production, not as a substitute for fact checking.

## Examples

Example input: a 10-minute video teaching designers how to test AI image prompts with controlled variables.

Expected output: titles, thumbnail directions, timed chapters, demonstration beats, objections, sourcing flags, and a resolved close.

## Variables

- topic: The video subject.
- audience: The target viewer.
- promise: The concrete result the video should deliver.
- evidence: Available sources, examples, footage, or demonstrations.
- length: Approximate runtime.
