Learn from a film with Deconstruct

Deconstruct watches a film and writes it back out as scenes, shot prompts, a style guide, a story and a cast. It's the quickest way to study how a scene you admire is built, or to start your own film in a style you can point at.

Run it

1. Open Deconstruct and Upload a film, trailer or clip (MP4/MOV up to 500 MB) or Or pick from your library.
2. Choose Detail: Key shots (up to four per scene) or Every shot.
3. Click Deconstruct · N credits. Long films are watched in parts; Stop keeps what's finished.

Read the result

• Scenes & shots: an editable prompt for every shot; ▶ jumps the player to it.
• Style: a style prompt and Avoid list, plus cinematography, lighting, grade, palette, editing and sound notes.
• Story: a Master prompt and synopsis.
• Cast & places: characters and locations with prompts.

Borrow from it

• Use style as project look replaces your look's style, palette and negative prompt with this film's.
• Add N shots to Shot List copies the shots into your plan.
• Per shot, Still to look adds that frame as a style reference, and Video Studio opens the shot ready to generate.

Use footage you have the rights to, and treat the result as a study: borrow a grammar of shots or a palette, not someone else's film.
