What makes it work

  • Lock the camera completely static and let the UI motion create all visual rhythm.
  • Maintain strict color harmony between cream, charcoal, and terracotta accents.
  • Sync visual transitions directly to the percussive beat drops of the music.

What goes in, what comes out

One video in. Everything you need to rebuild it out, in a form you can paste into any generator.

    A tech review video featuring a woman in her mid-30s with shoulder-length wavy honey-blonde hair, wearing a cozy cream sweater and white pants. In a bright, sunlit modern apartment, she holds a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera toward the lens with an excited smile. The scene cuts to her smoothly walking along a sunny city street holding the camera, then to an autumn park where she tests the camera's stabilization along a golden leaf-covered path. Indoors at a marble kitchen island, she demonstrates the rotating touchscreen. She sits on a sofa delivering a direct recommendation, ending on a crisp tabletop product shot of two Osmo Pocket 3 cameras with screens turned in landscape and portrait modes.

One video, five prompt formats

Each AI video generator reads prompts a little differently. Here is how the master prompt for Claude Is Fine changes for each one.

  • Any model

    Plain cinematic language that any generator understands: subject and action first, then setting, light, camera and style.

    Minimalist 2D motion graphics video set on a clean cream textured canvas. Sleek interface cards, dark terminal screens, and interactive controls animate smoothly to the rhythm. Rounded UI windows feature chat bubbles, model selectors, toggles, and system checkmarks in warm terracotta and charcoal accents. Flat digital styling, crisp vector typography, perfectly centered static digital framing, smooth pop-in animations, and bright even ambient illumination throughout.

  • Seedance

    Numbered shots in order, each with its length and camera move, and every character described again so they stay the same across shots.

    Shot 1 (3.5s): Static shot of a centered floating chat card on cream canvas with messages appearing in terracotta. Shot 2 (3s): Two side-by-side UI panels animate plugin toggles and tier levels. Shot 3 (3s): Static dark command terminal window with glowing red error logs typing on. Shot 4 (5s): Three cascading terminal windows animate across the canvas while a small clock pill displays in the corner. Shot 5 (3.5s): A model picker list drops down and selects the bottom option. Shot 6 (3s): A toggle switch flips between two cards, activating the daily driver card. Shot 7 (4s): Dashboard card checks operational status with green icons. Consistent style: clean 2D vector UI motion graphics, terracotta and cream palette, 16:9 aspect ratio.

  • Veo

    Veo makes sound with the picture, so the prompt ends with an audio line: the music, the ambience and any dialogue in quotes.

    A sequence of sleek 2D user interface windows animating against a cream background. Smooth vector cards transition seamlessly, displaying chat threads, plugin switches, dark terminal logs, and system operational badges. Audio: energetic hip-hop trap beat with punchy 808s, rapid hi-hats, and rhythmic male rap vocals synchronized with UI click sound effects.

  • Kling

    Kling rewards precise motion: what the subject does, the camera path step by step, and the facial expression.

    Static framing on a minimal 2D canvas. Centered rounded interface boxes animate sequentially without camera movement. Pop-up chat bubbles, toggles sliding right, cascading dark code terminals, dropdown menu highlights, and operational status checkmarks appear in sync with crisp motion. Consistent warm cream, terracotta, and dark charcoal color palette throughout.

  • Hailuo (MiniMax)

    Hailuo reads camera moves written in square brackets, such as [Push in] or [Tracking shot], placed where they happen.

    Floating minimalist user interface elements appear on a soft cream background [Static shot]. Chat bubbles populate inside rounded cards [Static shot]. Toggles flip and tier levels highlight in warm orange tones [Static shot]. Three dark terminal windows slide in from left to right with live running logs [Static shot]. The final status dashboard card displays verified green badges [Static shot].

Get a better prompt

  • Use the original, not a screen recording

    A recording adds bars, buttons and blur that end up in the prompt.

  • Paste a link when the sound matters

    Links are read with their audio. Uploads are read from frames sampled in your browser, so music and voice are not described.

  • Trim long videos first

    Only the first 3 minutes are read. For a long video, upload the part you want to remake.

  • Generate shot by shot for consistency

    Characters drift less over short clips. Generate the shot prompts in order and keep the same character description in each.

  • Keep what you can measure

    Shot lengths, camera moves and the palette are the parts that transfer best to a new subject.

  • Remake the format, not the video

    Borrow the hook, the shot structure and the pacing. Don't re-upload someone else's video, copy their script word for word or use a real person's likeness without consent.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a video to prompt generator?
It watches a video and writes the text prompt that would recreate it with an AI video generator. Revid's version splits the video into shots with timestamps, writes a prompt for each shot, describes the style, camera, palette and sound, and writes one master prompt for the whole video in the format each major generator reads best.
Is it free?
Yes. You can analyze up to 10 videos a day without an account, and the examples on this page are free to open any time. A link someone already analyzed comes back instantly and does not count.
Which links work?
Public TikTok videos, Instagram Reels and video posts, YouTube videos and YouTube Shorts. Private, age-restricted or deleted videos can't be read. For videos longer than 3 minutes, only the first 3 minutes are analyzed.
Can I upload a video file instead of a link?
Yes: MP4, MOV or WebM. Your browser samples up to 24 frames from the video and only those frames are sent for the analysis; the file itself never leaves your device. Because the analysis sees frames, it can't describe the music or the voice of an upload. Paste a link when the sound matters.
Which AI video generators do the prompts work with?
The master prompt comes in five versions: Seedance, Veo, Kling, Hailuo (MiniMax) and a general version for any other generator, such as Runway, Wan or Pika. The shot prompts work in any generator.
Will the prompt recreate the exact same video?
No AI generator makes the same video twice, and you shouldn't want it to. You get the same structure: the shots in the same order and length, the camera moves, the look, the palette and the pacing. For the closest result, generate the shot prompts one by one and keep each character's description identical.
How accurate is the breakdown?
It describes only what it sees and hears, and timestamps are accurate to about a second. Very fast montages can have a few flashes merged into one shot. It never names real people: they are described by appearance, so the prompt works without anyone's likeness.
Can I turn the prompt into a video on Revid?
Yes. Make this video with Revid opens prompt to video with the master prompt filled in, and Make this shot does the same for a single shot. New accounts get free credits to try it.
Can I remake a viral video I found on TikTok?
Remake the format, not the video. Hooks, shot structures, camera moves and pacing are what creators borrow from each other every day. Don't re-upload someone else's video, copy their script word for word, use a real person's face or voice without their consent, or copy logos.
How is this different from the video prompt generator?
The video prompt generator starts from an idea you type and writes three prompts for it. Video to prompt starts from a video that already exists and writes the prompts that would rebuild it. Use the first when you have an idea, the second when you have a reference.
