Video to Prompt Generator

Upload a clip and the AI watches all of it, then writes the prompt you would need to make something like it: who is in it, what happens in what order, how the camera moves, the light, and the sound. Copy it, or generate the video right here.

What is video to prompt?

Video to prompt is the reverse of text to video. Instead of writing a description and getting a clip, you give it a clip and get the description back - written the way AI video models read it: the subject, the actions in order, camera movement, lighting, style and audio. It cannot recover the exact prompt someone else typed (no tool can; the same video can come from many different prompts), but it gives you one that makes something close.

How video to prompt works

  1. 1

    Upload a video

    MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 60 seconds. Trim longer videos to the part you want first.

  2. 2

    Pick the model you will use

    Any model, Veo 3, Kling, Seedance or MiniMax H3. Each one reads prompts a little differently, so the wording changes to suit it.

  3. 3

    The AI watches the whole clip

    Cuts, camera moves, the order of actions and the final frame are all checked - not just a thumbnail.

  4. 4

    Copy it or generate

    Edit the prompt if you like, copy it anywhere, or press Generate this video to make it here.

Why use this one

It watches the video, not a screenshot

Tools that grab one frame miss the motion. This one reads the full clip, so it knows a continuous zoom from a real cut and keeps actions in the order they happen.

It does not make things up

If the clip cuts off mid-action, the prompt stops there too. Details it could not see clearly are listed separately instead of being guessed into the prompt.

Written for the model you pick

Veo 3 prompts include dialogue and sound, Seedance prompts are split by shot, MiniMax H3 prompts come in its three-part format.

From prompt to video in one click

The prompt opens in our generator with the matching model already selected - no copying between sites.

Frequently asked questions

Is this video to prompt generator free?

Yes. Sign in and you get 3 prompts a day free, no card needed. After that each prompt costs 1 credit. Making the video from the prompt is a separate generation priced by the model you pick; new accounts get 18 free credits for that.

Can it give me the exact prompt that was used to make a video?

No, and no tool can. The original prompt is not stored in the video, and many different prompts can produce similar footage. What you get is a prompt written from what is actually on screen, which gets you close - then you adjust it.

Can I paste a TikTok, YouTube or Instagram link?

Not yet. Save the video to your device first, then upload the file. Only use videos you have the right to use.

How long can the video be?

Up to 60 seconds and 50 MB. For a longer video, trim it to the part you want to recreate - most AI video models only make 5 to 15 second clips anyway.

Which AI video models does the prompt work with?

Pick Any model for a general prompt that works with Veo, Kling, Sora, Runway, Seedance and others, or pick a specific model and the wording is adjusted to how that model reads prompts.

Does it describe the sound too?

Yes, if the video has audio. It only writes down what it actually hears - speech, music, sound effects. It does not guess lyrics, and if it cannot hear anything it says so.

What is the difference between this and video to video?

Video to prompt gives you a description, and a new video made from it will have the same idea but new footage. Video to video keeps your actual clip - the same motion and timing - and only changes the look.

Do you keep my video?

No. The video is deleted as soon as the prompt is written. We keep the text result so you can see what you made.

What videos can't it process?

Anything with nudity, sexual content, graphic violence or minors in unsafe situations is refused, the same rules as the rest of the site.
