About ShotPrompt

Last updated: 2026-11-12

Who runs it

ShotPrompt is built and run by an independent developer, not a studio or a company with a team. There is no sponsor or publisher behind it.

Why it exists

People who want to recreate a shot from an AI video often take screenshots by hand, paste them into a chatbot and write down the camera move themselves. ShotPrompt does that in one step: it samples the frames, asks an AI model to describe the shots in order, and formats the result for the video model you pick.

How it works

• Your browser takes one still frame per second from the video you choose, up to 60 frames, and shrinks each so the longer side is 512 pixels.
• Only those frames and their time stamps are sent to our server. The video file is not uploaded.
• The server passes the frames to Gemma, an open AI model from Google running on Cloudflare Workers AI, which writes the description. We do not store the video or the frames.
• The result is shown in your browser as shot cards, a full prompt and JSON.

What it does not do

• It does not analyze sound, speech or music.
• It is instructed not to identify real people in a video.
• It does not promise that any video model will reproduce your clip from the prompt.
• It does not work from TikTok, Instagram or YouTube links. Upload a file you have the right to use.

How it is kept up to date

One person maintains the site. We check that the tool works and that these pages are still accurate when the AI model behind it changes, and when the tool changes. When something important changes, the date on the page changes.
