Video to Prompt
Extract AI prompts from any video — MP4, WebM, MOV supported.
How the Video to Prompt Generator Works
Our AI video prompt engine extracts 6 keyframes from your video and generates a highly accurate, temporal-aware prompt.
Upload Your Video
Drop any MP4 or WEBM video into the tool. Supports videos up to 100MB.
Frame Extraction
Our engine securely extracts 6 keyframes locally in your browser and creates a storyboard.
AI Prompt Generation
Our advanced vision model analyzes the temporal sequence, lighting, camera movement, and generates an optimized prompt.
Why Video-to-Prompt is a Game Changer
Translating the motion, lighting shifts, and spatial depth of a video into a single prompt is a complex task. Our tool looks at 6 keyframes simultaneously.
By analyzing the storyboard, the AI can detect camera pans, subject motion, and evolving environments, translating them into perfect Midjourney or Stable Diffusion parameters.
- Extracts 6 keyframes automatically
- Analyzes temporal movement and camera angles
- Generates model-specific output for Midjourney, SD, and Flux
Who Uses a Video to Prompt Generator?
Professionals use our tool to convert reference videos into AI-ready prompts.
Videographers
Extract lighting and composition parameters from real video footage to generate AI storyboards.
Digital Artists
Reverse-engineer dynamic scenes to recreate cinematic moments in Midjourney.
ImaginPrompt vs. Manual Video-to-Prompt Workflows
Most creators still screenshot single frames and run them through image tools. Here is how a dedicated video to prompt generator compares.
| Feature | ImaginPrompt | Manual screenshots | Single-frame image tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyframe coverage | ✅ 6 keyframes, auto-extracted | ⚠️ Whatever you capture by hand | ❌ One frame only |
| Temporal / motion analysis | ✅ Camera movement & scene evolution | ❌ Lost between screenshots | ❌ No motion context |
| Privacy | ✅ Frames extracted locally in your browser | ⚠️ Depends on your tools | ⚠️ Full image uploaded |
| Model-specific output | ✅ Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion | ❌ Manual rewriting | ⚠️ Varies by tool |
| Free tier | ✅ 5 extractions per day for guests | ✅ Free but slow | ⚠️ Varies |
A storyboard-aware video to prompt generator captures what single screenshots cannot: motion, pacing, and lighting changes across the clip — translated into one production-ready prompt.
Expert Tips for Better Video Prompts
💡 Trim to the scene that matters
The engine samples 6 keyframes across the whole clip. A tight 5-20 second cut of your target scene gives every keyframe to the moment you actually want to recreate, instead of spreading them across intros and outros.
💡 Prefer clips with consistent lighting
Dramatic lighting changes between keyframes can blur the extracted style. If your video shifts from day to night, split it and run each segment separately for two cleaner prompts.
💡 Match the target model before extracting
Select Midjourney, Flux, or Stable Diffusion before you run the extraction. Each produces different syntax, and re-running with the right target beats hand-converting the output.
💡 Reverse-engineer AI-generated clips
The tool works on AI-generated video too. Save a Sora, Veo, or Runway clip you admire, upload the file, and study the extracted prompt to learn how that aesthetic is constructed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to the cloud?+
No. The storyboard extraction happens entirely in your browser. We only send a highly compressed image grid to our AI engine, ensuring your original video data remains private.
What formats are supported?+
We support standard web video formats including MP4, WebM, and MOV up to 100MB in size.
How does the Video to Prompt tool work?+
The tool extracts 6 sequential keyframes from your video directly in the browser, composites them into a storyboard grid, and sends that image to our AI vision model to generate a detailed, production-ready prompt.
Can I use this tool for free?+
Yes! Guests get 5 free video-to-prompt extractions per day, and registered free-plan users get 10 per day. No credit card required.
Which AI models can I target with the generated prompt?+
You can target General AI, Midjourney v6, Flux.1, and Stable Diffusion. Each model produces optimized prompt syntax for that specific architecture.
Does it work with TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Sora videos?+
Yes. Download or screen-record the clip and upload it as MP4, WebM, or MOV. The tool analyzes the visual content regardless of source platform — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, or AI-generated video.
Can I turn a Sora video into a prompt?+
Yes. Save the Sora clip as an MP4 (or screen-record it), then upload the file like any other video. We extract 6 keyframes, analyze the motion and lighting, and generate a detailed text prompt — useful for studying how a Sora video was prompted or recreating its aesthetic in Midjourney or Flux.
Can I convert a YouTube video to a prompt from a link?+
Not from a link — the tool does not accept URLs. To analyze a YouTube video, download or screen-record the clip first, then upload it as an MP4, WebM, or MOV file up to 100MB. Only upload content you have the right to use.
How is a video to prompt generator different from an image to prompt tool?+
An image to prompt tool analyzes one still frame. A video to prompt generator analyzes a sequence — ours reads 6 keyframes as a storyboard, so the prompt captures camera movement, subject motion, and lighting changes that no single frame contains. For static references, our Image to Prompt tool is the better fit.
