How it works
Paste the link
Any YouTube or YouTube Shorts URL — timestamped links work too.
AI watches it
The video is reverse-engineered into what makes it work: subject, motion, camera, lighting, pacing.
Copy your prompts
A frame prompt for image models plus a video prompt for Sora, Kling, Veo or Hailuo.
Why start from a YouTube video?
Writing AI video prompts from scratch means guessing. Starting from a video that already went viral means copying proven structure. Creators use this workflow to recreate trending Shorts styles, study competitors, and build prompt libraries — our own gallery of 2,000+ collected trending prompts shows the same pattern: the best prompts describe real footage, not imagined scenes.
FAQ
Do I need to download the YouTube video first?
No. Paste the URL — including Shorts and timestamped links — and our AI watches it directly. Nothing is downloaded to your device.
Which AI video models do the prompts work with?
The output includes a frame prompt (for image models) and a video prompt written to work with Sora, Kling, Veo, Hailuo, Runway, Seedance and similar text-to-video models.
Can I analyze only part of a long video?
Yes. Use a YouTube URL with a timestamp, or pick a Short — shorter clips return more focused prompts.
Is it free?
Single-scene analysis is free without an account. Multi-scene breakdowns (a prompt per scene) are available once you sign in.
