Consistency is what makes captions feel designed rather than automatic. This enforces one ruleset across an entire video.

The prompt

Copy & paste 
Convert the transcript below into burn-in caption cues.

OUTPUT FORMAT
| Start | End | Caption | Emphasis word |

RULES
- Max 4 words per caption card.
- One card must never span a sentence boundary.
- Exactly one emphasis word per card — the word carrying the new information.
  If no word qualifies, leave the emphasis column empty rather than forcing one.
- Numbers always as digits.
- Strip filler: um, uh, like, you know, I mean.
- Minimum card duration 0.6s, maximum 2.0s. Split anything longer.
- Keep the speaker's own wording. Do not paraphrase or improve their grammar.
