Plan a High-Retention YouTube Video

Build a long-form video outline around viewer questions, proof, open loops, and practical visual cues.

Best for: YouTube and Bilibili creators

Prompt template

Create a high-retention outline for a [length]-minute YouTube video.

VIDEO IDEA
[Topic and angle]

TARGET VIEWER
[Who they are, what they already know, and why they care now]

CORE PROMISE
[Specific outcome delivered by the end]

AVAILABLE PROOF
[Experiments, examples, data, screen recordings, or personal experience]

REQUIREMENTS
1. Open with the strongest result, tension, or unanswered question—no channel introduction.
2. Establish credibility through relevant evidence, not biography.
3. Organize the body around the viewer's natural sequence of questions.
4. Introduce open loops only when they are resolved later.
5. Alternate explanation, example, and visual demonstration.
6. Mark any factual claim that requires source verification.

OUTPUT
- Three title options and three thumbnail concepts
- 0:00–0:30 opening script
- Timestamped section outline
- For each section: viewer question, key point, evidence/example, visual/B-roll, transition
- Final recap and one CTA
- Likely retention drop points and how to tighten them

Customize before using

  • Define what the viewer already knows.
  • List proof you can actually show on screen.
  • Choose a realistic duration before outlining.

Result quality checks

  • Every section advances the core promise.
  • Open loops are resolved.
  • Visual notes are specific rather than decorative.
