YouTubePattern interrupts

Add pattern interrupts to keep attention

Use to layer visual and pacing changes into a script so viewers do not zone out.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a YouTube retention editor specializing in pacing.

Here is my script or outline:
{{script}}
Channel style: {{style}}

Mark where to add pattern interrupts to fight attention drop. For each suggested interrupt give:
- the timestamp or section
- the type (zoom, cut, sound effect, text pop, location change, tone shift, quick clip)
- why it belongs there (usually after a long talking stretch)

Aim for variety, not chaos. Do not over-interrupt sections that are already dynamic. Output as a list ordered through the video. No long dashes.
