Look for a complete idea
In a tutorial, a useful candidate might start with the problem, show one fix and end with the result. A punchline without its setup needs a different start point. These are editorial examples, not a promise that a clip will go viral.
Before you use the result
- Keep transcript time zero aligned with sequence time zero before sending markers
- Check whether the clip still makes sense without the surrounding conversation
- Markers identify ranges; they do not export or assemble a finished vertical video
