Can I paste a video link instead of uploading?

Are uploaded videos public?

No private upload or generated result should be indexed or shown publicly without explicit permission.

What does the result include?

The prompt pack includes a scene summary, main prompt, style, motion, camera, lighting, and editing notes.

Can I use the generated prompt commercially?

You can use your generated text, but you must make sure the source video is yours or properly licensed.

Why did my video fail to process?

What is a video to prompt generator?

A video to prompt generator analyzes a reference video and turns visible creative decisions into text prompts for AI video models. Instead of starting from a blank prompt, you can extract the scene, subject, motion, camera, lighting, style, mood, pacing, and edit rhythm from a video you already like.

Start with a video file, a supported public link, or a built-in example result.

Analyze visible choices

Break down subjects, actions, framing, camera moves, lighting, style, and pacing.

Generate a prompt pack

Get a copy-ready main prompt plus camera, motion, lighting, and editing notes.

Reuse and refine

Copy, download, regenerate, or adapt the output for your AI video model.
