Turn any video into a script, screenplay or AI prompt set

What is VidBreak?
VidBreak is a screenplay writing tool that turns any video into a script, screenplay or AI prompt set. VidBreak converts uploaded or linked videos into timestamped story scripts, bilingual episodic screenplays up to 60 minutes, or structured AI video prompts.
VidBreak is a video analysis workspace that converts footage you already have into written material: timestamped story scripts, episodic screenplays, or structured prompts for AI video generation. You supply a YouTube watch, Shorts or youtu.be link, a direct public video URL, or an uploaded file, then pick the output format before the task starts. The tool reconstructs plot, dialogue, narration and on-screen action rather than summarizing at a high level, so the result reads like a working document you can edit. Three output modes cover different jobs. Story scripts produce a readable, timestamped reconstruction of dialogue and action for clips from 8 seconds to 10 minutes. Episodic screenplays accept up to 60 minutes in a single task, splitting longer sources by original episode cues (or system segmentation when cues are unclear) with each episode capped at 300 seconds, and output in Chinese or English. AI video prompts describe subjects, framing, camera movement and sound in structured language that can be pasted into a generation tool. An optional Viral DNA layer adds commentary on opening hooks, pacing, reversals and emotional turns, and works only alongside scripts or prompts, not screenplays. In practice, the workflow is short: add a source, choose the output, confirm the time range and the credit estimate, run the task, then review the result against the original footage. Screenplays export to Word; scripts and prompts can be copied, downloaded or rewritten. Credits are purchased once in packs and do not expire, and the cost estimate appears before every run. Source media auto-deletes 24 hours after processing finishes. The product is built for screenwriters (short-drama writers in particular) and for creators using AI video tools who want to study or replicate a reference clip. It sits next to transcription services and general video summarizers, but the emphasis is craft output rather than meeting notes. VidBreak does not render, edit or download video, so production still happens elsewhere.
How do you use VidBreak?
1Open the analyzer and add a source video
Paste a supported public YouTube watch, Shorts or youtu.be link, or sign in to upload a file. Confirm you own the video or have permission to analyze it.
2Choose the output format
Select story script for a timestamped reconstruction, AI video prompts for subject, action and camera descriptions, or episodic screenplay for dialogue-led scripts in Chinese or English.3Set the range and check the credit estimate
Signed-in tasks default to the longest available range: up to 10 minutes for scripts and prompts, up to 60 minutes for screenplays. Review the duration and estimated credits before starting.4Optionally add Viral DNA
For story scripts and prompts, enable Viral DNA to surface opening hooks, pacing, reversals and emotional turns. It is not available for episodic screenplays.
5Review against the source and export
Compare the writing with the footage, then export a screenplay to Word or copy, download and rewrite a script or prompt result.6Compare a sample case before committing credits
The public Tears of Steel case shows the same 35-second clip rendered as a story script, screenplay and prompt set, which helps set expectations for output detail.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Three distinct output formats (story script, episodic screenplay, AI video prompts) chosen before the runAI
- Episodic screenplays handle up to 60 minutes of footage in one task with episode segmentationAI
- Viral DNA adds a craft-level read on hooks, pacing and reversals beyond plain transcriptionAI
- Credit estimate is shown before every run and purchased credits never expireAI
- Source media is deleted 24 hours after processing, which limits retention riskAI
Cons
- Only public YouTube links or an authorized upload work, so private or paid-platform footage cannot be importedAI
- Free trial is view-only and capped at 15 seconds, so output quality must be judged on a very short clipAI
- Viral DNA is unavailable in the screenplay workflow, forcing a compromise for long-form projectsAI
- Credits are one-time packs rather than a monthly plan, so occasional users may overbuy to reach a cheaper per-credit tierAI
- Results have no fixed expiry but the oldest are deleted first once capacity is exceeded, which can cost archived workAI
