VidBreak quick start: from video to script
Choose AI video prompts, a story script or a professional episodic screenplay, then create and review your first result.
VidBreak turns an existing video into AI video prompts, a story script, or a professional episodic screenplay. Choose the result you need before starting. For long drama videos, the screenplay workflow can analyze up to 60 minutes in one task.
Choose the result that matches your job
| What you want to do | Choose | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Describe reference footage for AI video creation | AI video prompts | Written subjects, actions, timing, camera and sound instructions. Use them in your chosen generation tool. |
| Read the story, dialogue and action in a short video | Story script | A timed reconstruction, with optional Viral DNA analysis of hooks, pacing and reversals. |
| Study or deliver a drama as episodes | Episodic screenplay | A cast list, episode directory and Chinese or English screenplay body. |
A real task produces the selected format. The public sample lets you switch among three formats to compare them; it does not mean every task generates all three.
Create your first result
- Add a video and choose your output. Start on the homepage, any Tools page, or the setup page. Paste a supported public link for a free 15-second story-script or prompt trial. Sign in for uploads, longer ranges or screenplays; your link and output choice carry into setup.
- Preview the source and confirm the range. Story scripts and prompts accept 8 seconds–10 minutes. Screenplays require a selected range of 5–60 minutes, with episodes of 1–5 minutes. For a range under 5 minutes, choose a story script or AI video prompts. Each output defaults to its longest available range, starting at the beginning of the video. You can adjust it before starting.
- For a screenplay, choose the language and episode mode. Use automatic detection if you want VidBreak to look for original episode boundaries. Each episode is capped at 300 seconds. See episode settings for what happens when a boundary is unclear.
- Check the credit estimate, then start. New accounts include starter credits. Each account can run one task at a time.
- Open the result and compare it with the video. Check important names, dialogue and actions before copying or exporting. For a screenplay, use the episode directory to move through the text.
Example: for a 45-minute drama compilation that you want as a script, choose Episodic screenplay. For a two-minute reference you want to recreate with a video model, choose AI video prompts. The second workflow does not inherit the screenplay’s 60-minute limit.
Try it before creating a full task
The free trial needs no registration and analyzes the first 15 seconds of a supported public video link as a story script or prompt. It is view-only, including after sign-in. Create a signed-in task to obtain a result with copy and export.
The public case pairs a playable, 35-second Tears of Steel excerpt with its original English results from three separate analyses: AI video prompts, a story script with Viral DNA and a one-episode screenplay. The case selector also offers The Last Delivery, a separate, hand-authored three-episode format example with illustrative frames and no playable source film. You can copy sample text, while screenplay Word export is available on real tasks.
