What is a video to prompt generator?
A video to prompt generator watches a video and writes the text prompt that would recreate it with an AI video model. Video2Prompt does this scene by scene: it describes the subject, action, framing, camera movement, lighting and style of each shot, and gives you one prompt for the whole video.
Extract a prompt from any video
Upload a clip or paste a TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, Douyin, Xiaohongshu or Kuaishou link. The AI watches and listens, then writes the prompts.
Prompts per scene, not just one
Long videos don't fit in one prompt. You get a prompt for every scene plus a full-video prompt, so each shot can be regenerated on its own.
Written for your model
Pick a prompt style — Seedance 2.x, MiniMax H3, Kling or Runway — and the wording follows what that model responds to best.
How to convert a video to a prompt
From a reference video to prompts you can paste into any AI video tool.
Upload or paste a link
Drop an MP4, MOV or WebM file (up to 30MB and 5 minutes) or paste a public video link.
Choose the prompt style
Pick the AI video model you want to use and the output language, or let it follow the video's language.
