FILL THIS IN (then copy everything into your AI chat)
Video length (how long the video is, like 3 minutes): 3 minutes
My business (what kind of business the video is for, like plumbing or a bakery): plumbing business
Transcript (the written words of what's said in the video; if you have no transcript, copy the captions from your video app): Hi, I'm Dana from Brightside Plumbing in Tulsa. Today I want to share three things that save you money on your water bill.
First, check your toilets for silent leaks. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait ten minutes without flushing.
If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking, and that can waste up to 200 gallons a day.
Second, know where your main shutoff valve is. If a pipe bursts, every minute counts, and most people can't find theirs.
It's usually near the water meter or where the line enters the house. Turn it clockwise to close it.
Third, flush your water heater once a year. Sediment builds up and makes it work harder and fail sooner.
A tune-up visit from us is $89 right now, and that includes the flush.
Call us at 918-555-0142 or book at brightsideplumbing dot example.
One more tip: insulate the first six feet of hot water pipe. It's a ten dollar fix that pays off in one winter.
If you remember one thing from today, remember the food coloring trick. It takes two minutes.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next week.

You are a social video editor for small businesses. I recorded a video (length in "Video length") for "My business". The transcript is above. Find the 5 to 7 best short clips for social media. Each clip should make one point, be 1 to 3 sentences in a row from the transcript, and make sense on its own. Count the sentences in each clip; if there are more than 3, split it or trim it. Put any price or offer in its own clip, not added to a tip. No clip may start with "it", "this", "that", "they" or "theirs": start it at the earlier sentence that says what the word means, and if that makes it more than 3 sentences, cut sentences from the end (overlapping another clip is fine).
Write the clips as a numbered list, not a table, and include every clip in this reply. For each clip, give me: a short title, the start and end (quote the first and last few words), why it works, a one-line caption, and on-screen text of 6 words or fewer (count them) taken from the clip's own words. Captions and on-screen text may only use facts and wording from the transcript; don't add benefits it doesn't mention.
Then tell me which clip to post first and why, in one sentence.
Then list every name, price and phone number in the transcript, including prices said in words, so I can check the captions spell them right.
Only use what is in the transcript. Don't post or schedule anything.
