Video to Prompt:reverse any video into shot-by-shot prompts.
Upload any video and our video to prompt AI detects its visual cut points, then writes a timestamped prompt per shot — action, camera movement and audio cues — ready to paste into Sora, Kling, Runway or our own video generators. Single frames work too: switch to image to prompt mode.

How to convert a video to prompts
From upload to timestamped, shot-by-shot prompts.
Upload your video
Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM — a viral clip, an ad, or any reference footage up to 5 minutes.
Cuts are detected locally
The tool finds visual cut points in your browser and extracts key frames per shot — no upload of the full video.
Get a prompt per shot
Each shot gets a timestamped prompt with action, camera movement and audio cues, plus a full-video master prompt.
Why this video to prompt generator
Built for creators who reverse-engineer footage into prompts.
Automatic cut detection
Visual cut points are detected locally, so every shot gets its own prompt instead of one blurry summary.
Timestamped shot prompts
Each segment carries its time range, shot type, action, camera movement and audio cues.
Master prompt + segments
Copy the full-video prompt for continuity, or grab individual shot prompts to remix.
Continuity locks
Global constraints keep character, wardrobe and lighting consistent across regenerated shots.
Works with any video model
Prompts are model-agnostic — paste them into Sora, Kling, Runway, Pika or our own video generators.
Private by design
Cut detection runs in your browser; only extracted frames are analyzed and nothing is saved as a project.
What creators say
Creators, marketers and editors reversing videos into prompts every day.
I reverse viral intros into shot-by-shot prompts and rebuild them with my own branding — the cut detection is scary accurate.

I feed film sequences in and get usable motion prompts out. The continuity locks keep characters stable.

We deconstruct competitor video ads into prompts for our own spots. The timestamped beats make briefing our editor trivial.

The per-shot camera and action fields are exactly what Sora needs. Best video to prompt workflow I’ve found.

Great for reverse-engineering trailer pacing. The master prompt keeps the whole sequence coherent.

Video to Prompt FAQ
What is a video to prompt generator?
A video to prompt generator analyzes a video and writes text prompts that recreate it in an AI video model. This tool detects the video’s cut points and writes a timestamped prompt for every shot, plus a master prompt for the full clip.
Is this video to prompt tool free?
Yes — you can convert videos to prompts for free after a quick sign-in. Heavier use consumes credits.
Which models do the generated prompts work with?
The prompts are model-agnostic and work with Sora, Kling, Runway, Pika, Vidu, and the video generators on this site.
How does cut detection work?
Cut points are detected locally in your browser from visual changes between frames. Only the extracted key frames are sent for AI analysis — the full video never leaves your device.
Can I convert a single image instead?
Yes — switch to Image → Prompt mode (or visit the image to prompt page) to get one detailed, copy-ready prompt for any image.
