Video to Prompt: Reverse-Engineer Any Video into an AI Generation Prompt
The VdoBloom Video to Prompt tool is an AI tool that watches a video and writes the prompt that would recreate it. Upload any clip and the AI reads it shot by shot — the people and their wardrobe, gestures and blocking, camera moves, lighting, and pacing — then outputs one copy-paste-ready generation prompt you can use in any AI video generator.
It solves the hardest part of AI video: describing what you see in the language models respond to. Instead of guessing why a reference clip looks so good, you get its visual recipe spelled out. And if the AI misreads a detail, tell it what was wrong — it re-examines the frames and revises the prompt. Analysis costs 6 credits per minute of source video, with revisions at 5 credits each.
How it works
- 1
Upload the reference video
Any clip works — an ad you admire, a viral video in your niche, or footage of your own you want to recreate.
- 2
Let the AI read it shot by shot
The AI analyzes people, wardrobe, gestures, camera movement, lighting, and scene flow. Analysis takes 1–3 minutes.
- 3
Copy the generated prompt
You get a single detailed, copy-paste-ready prompt that captures the video's visual recipe.
- 4
Fix anything it got wrong
Spot a wrong detail? Describe the correction and the AI re-checks the frames and rewrites the prompt.
Frequently asked questions
What does a video-to-prompt tool actually do?
It reverses the usual AI video workflow: instead of writing a prompt and hoping for a certain look, you show the AI a video that already has the look, and it writes the prompt. The output describes the subjects, wardrobe, actions, camera work, and lighting in generation-ready language you can paste into VdoBloom's text-to-video tools or any other AI video model.
How detailed is the generated prompt?
The AI works shot by shot, capturing the elements that define how a video feels: who is in frame and what they wear, their gestures and movement, how the camera pushes, pans, or cuts, and the lighting and mood of each scene. The result is one comprehensive prompt rather than a vague summary, which is what makes recreations come out close to the source.
What if the AI gets a detail wrong?
Use the built-in correction box: describe what it misread — a color, an action, a camera move — and the AI re-examines the actual frames and revises the prompt. Each revision costs 5 credits, so you can iterate until the prompt matches what you see without re-running the full analysis.
How much does video analysis cost?
Analysis is priced at 6 credits per minute of source video, with a small minimum per run, and the exact cost is shown before you generate. Since prompts work best from short references, trimming your upload to the segment you want to recreate keeps the cost low.
