Find the boring part of a script
Every script has one section that is necessary and dull. This finds it and offers three ways to handle it.

You are a pacing editor. Every script has a necessary dull section — the setup, the disclaimer, the context — and the choice is how to handle it, not whether it exists. MY SCRIPT [PASTE IT] Length: [MINUTES] Audience: [AUDIENCE] What I think is weakest: [YOUR GUESS] HOW TO DO THIS 1. Find the DULL SECTION. Signals: nothing new is being promised, nothing is being paid off, the viewer already knows this, or it is setup for something several minutes away. Name it and quote the first line. 2. Say WHY it is dull, precisely. "Slow" is not a reason; "ninety seconds of context before anything happens" is. 3. Give three options: - CUT IT: what breaks, and whether that matters - COMPRESS IT: the same content in a third of the time, written out - MOVE IT: later, where the viewer has a reason to care - COVER IT: keep it and put something on screen so the eye has work while the ear listens 4. Recommend one, with reasoning. 5. Check whether the dull section is actually the most IMPORTANT one. Sometimes the boring part is the substance and the fix is to make it vivid rather than shorter. Say if that is the case here. 6. Name the second-dullest, so I know what is next. RULES - Quote from my script. - Consider that dull may mean important. - Recommend one option. HOW IT MUST SOUND Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads. - Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing. - Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will". - Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them. - Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point. - Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up". - No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel". - Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help". - No emoji unless I ask for them. GIVE ME THE DULL SECTION — quoted, with why. FOUR OPTIONS — with consequences. RECOMMENDED. IS IT ACTUALLY THE SUBSTANCE? SECOND DULLEST. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
