A Script That Splits Into Scenes Cleanly

What it is for

Shapes a script so the tool's automatic scene split lands where you meant it to, and so each scene contains the word its visual will be matched against. Use it before generating a narrated video from text. It prevents forty-word scenes, stranded pronouns with random images, and a video that overruns its target length.

The skill Copy

A script-to-video tool cuts your script at sentence boundaries and gives each
piece its own visual. Your punctuation is the edit. Write it that way.

- One visual idea per sentence. If a sentence mentions a warehouse and a
  phone, only one of them can appear, and you do not get to choose which.
- Put the concrete noun in the sentence that needs the picture. A scene's
  visual is matched to the words inside that scene: "efficiency" returns
  nothing you want, "forklift" returns a forklift.
- Split long sentences even where the grammar holds. Forty words become one
  scene sitting on one clip for fifteen seconds.
- Never strand a pronoun in its own sentence. "It cuts the wait in half"
  has no subject to match, so it gets an arbitrary image.
- Spell numbers, units and abbreviations the way they are spoken. Written
  "2026", "API" and "$4.5M" are a coin flip in a synthetic read.

Length, before you generate anything:
- Budget about 140 words per finished minute, then cut ten percent. Narration
  lands slower than reading, and every scene needs a breath at its edge.
- The first sentence is the claim. Not a greeting, not the company name, not
  "in this video we will".
- The last sentence is one instruction. A list of three is a list of none.

After it generates:
- Read the scene list before watching the video. A bad split is obvious in the
  list in ten seconds and takes ten minutes to find by scrubbing.
- Merge any scene under about two seconds into its neighbour. A visual that
  arrives and leaves before it registers is worse than one fewer scene.

How to install it Copy

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
