§ 01 · The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

The gatekeeping ends today. MetricsMule opens by playing the viral AI videos everyone is seeing then pivots hard: those creators never share the prompts. Two methods follow, one embarrassingly simple, one a full meta system that returns a V2 cinematic upgrade on command.

§ · Stated Promise

§ · Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 00:49

01 · Hook + AI video showcase

Opens with viral AI clips over reaction-cam. Frames the problem: creators gatekeep their prompts. Promise: I end that today.

00:49 – 02:08

02 · Method 1 - The embarrassingly simple way

Screen share of ChatGPT. Drags video file in, types: This video was made in Seedance 2.0, give me a prompt that can recreate it. ChatGPT returns a multi-scene prompt with style, camera, lighting, and audio sections.

02:08 – 03:46

03 · Method 1 results + Magnific/FreePik recreation

Ports the extracted prompt into Magnific (FreePik), tags his AI character, generates a 10-second recreation. Side-by-side comparison shown. Declares Method 1 successful but basic.

03:46 – 04:14

04 · Bridge - teasing the better way

Calls Method 1 common sense. Teases the upcoming prompt generator as something that does it better AND delivers a V2 10x upgrade.

04:14 – 05:23

05 · Method 2 - AI Video Engine Database

Opens his Everything Bundle database. Shows the meta system prompt for Seedance 2.0 prompt generation. Notes all prompts are free on metricsmule.com/blog.

05:23 – 06:22

06 · Method 2 in ChatGPT - paste system prompt + upload video

Pastes full meta system prompt into ChatGPT. ChatGPT asks for video upload. Returns full video analysis with meta tags, camera tokens, motion descriptors, style keywords, then the full recreation prompt.

06:22 – 07:29

07 · Results + V2 cinematic upgrade

Shows recreated video side-by-side with original. Triggers V2 by typing yes to ChatGPT follow-up. Gets Hollywood camera directions, stronger realism, advanced cinematography.

07:29 – 08:28

08 · V2 generation in HiggsField AI

Pastes V2 prompt into HiggsField AI, changes hair color to blonde, tags his AI character. Generates and shows the cinematic upgrade result.

08:28 – 08:52

09 · CTA + outro

Subscribe reminder. Free prompt generator link in description. Fade to closing AI-generated clip.

Gatekeeping-Buster Hook

Open by naming the thing everyone wants but nobody shares, then immediately promise to share it. Creates instant authority and goodwill.

Steal for Any tutorial video: They never show you the [X]. Today I will.
§ · Quotables

Lines you could clip.

00:24
"The actual creator never shares what prompts were actually used. Well, today, that ends."
Tight authority claim, no setup needed, punchy closer → TikTok hook
02:08
"Give me a prompt that can recreate it. I mean, that's pretty embarrassingly simple and common sense."
Self-deprecating simplicity reveal → IG reel cold open
07:10
"Would you like a V2 cinematic upgrade with more advanced Hollywood-level camera directions, stronger realism, motion design, and basically more advanced cinematography?"
The upgrade ask - reads like a movie trailer → Newsletter pull-quote

§ 04 · The Script

Word for word.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch metaphor analogy story
00:00HOOKHow do you create videos like these? Because the clock strikes twelve. On the floor,
00:05HOOKthe Lakers have a chance to tie or take the lead here in the final minute. You may see some impressive AI videos online, but the actual creator never shares what prompts were actually used And it's a great ball from shore.
00:21HOOKTo create that video, aka their gatekeeping. Well, today, that ends because I'm gonna show you how to instantly reverse engineer any AI video that you see.
00:31HOOKSo think I should go in, Eric? Not without me.
00:39HOOKAnd make sure you hit the subscribe button because this is only the beginning. In future videos, I'll show you how to do this using Gemini gems, custom GPTs,
00:47HOOKor clawed projects. But today, let's start here. I'll first show you the easiest way.
00:52It's actually common sense, but many people don't actually know that you can do this. While others of you may say, yes, I've been knowing this for a long time. Nothing new to me.
01:02And that's okay too. Because after I show you this very simple trick, I'll then give you an incredible prompt generator. One that you can use over and over again as a meta system prompt for any video you want to reverse engineer.
01:16Okay. So to start, I first said I want to reverse engineer this video right here.
01:21You could see it. Here it is on your screen. Now this was made in c dance two.
01:24Again, it does a great job with multi shot generated videos, all within just one single prompt. So for example, I'm on x right now, and I went ahead and expanded this video to take up the full screen.
01:36Let's say for an example, we have another video that we like. Say something like this. So if you can't actually download the video by right clicking on it, what I would recommend is just on your computer, go ahead and take a screen recording of it.
01:48And so that's how you're able to actually get the video that you want to reverse engineer and duplicate. So what I did was I said, I wanna reverse engineer this one that you see right here. Okay?
01:59Take the actual screen recording or download the actual video. So now all you have to do, and again, this is the easiest most common sense way is come over here in the chat GPT. Go ahead and paste this in right here.
02:11This video was made in c dance two. Give me a prompt that can recreate it. I mean, that's pretty embarrassingly simple and common sense.
02:18Right? You'd be surprised though how many people don't know you can actually do this. But again, this is just one easy way.
02:24I'll next show you this incredible prompt generator that will do it even better, but not only that, then give you a v two ten x upgraded version. I'm a prompt generator. So now what you would do is take the video and now just simply drop it right here directly in the chat.
02:40Go ahead and now submit it. There it is. We now instantly
02:43get the actual prompt that was used to generate this. Now look how amazing this actually is. It even breaks it down with the scenes.
02:51Scenes one through five, five different multi shot scenes. You can see the prompt is pretty long comparable to the original one, and then I get the style camera lighting audio even. Okay.
03:00So now what I'll do is come over here into a tool. Right now, I'm gonna be in Magnific aka FreePic. Now with that same exact prompt, here is the prompt over here again in chat GPT.
03:11Copy the whole thing like that. In Magnific, I went ahead and pasted it in over here on the left hand side.
03:16All you have to do is select a tool to where you have c dance two available. There it is right there. The only thing different I changed was I just went ahead and added my specific character.
03:26My AI character right here. I tagged her and now we're gonna go ahead and generate this one. Okay.
03:32And so now check this out. Here's our video. Now this one's only ten seconds.
03:35The original one was fifteen, but nonetheless, look how good this actually turned out.
03:47So I was definitely successful in reverse engineering that prompt. And now when you look at the two videos side by side, you could see it did a pretty good job. So that's the easy basic way.
03:58CTAHonestly, pretty common sense even though some people didn't know you could do that. But now let me show you this amazing prompt generator that's gonna instantly create the prompt that you should use, but then provide you with a version two, an upgraded version.
04:15CTAReady for the best prompts? Okay. So we're gonna head over here into my new AI video engine database.
04:21CTANow this database is available via the everything bundle. I have been adding hundreds of prompts to these databases almost every single week. If you don't have the everything bundle yet, I'll drop a discount code in the description below.
04:33CTAThat way you can get a good percentage off. You gotta get this. Now, these prompt generators are system prompts aka
04:40CTAprompts that generate prompts or prompt engineers. Go ahead and open up the whole thing just like this. There it is.
04:46CTAHOOKThere is the full entire prompt. Go ahead and copy the whole thing just like that. And now one thing I will mention is that any prompts I share in these videos are always available 100%
04:55HOOKfree via the links in the description, which will take you to my blog pages right here. Every single blog post contains tons of prompts and prompt generators. So for this one I'm sharing today specifically, I'll include this in the c dance prompt generators post right here.
05:11HOOKThere are gonna be a ton of different prompts in these drop down boxes that you could use over and over again. And you can see as far as the prompt generators, we are gonna have hundreds of these prompt generators. Tons of these
05:24specifically, giving you anything from viral video engines. So now the first thing we'll do is go over into chat g p t and paste in the full prompt just like this. Now with long text, it's gonna display as an attachment.
05:36You can also select show in text field, and now that way you can make sure you have the whole entire thing in here. Now once it's all in there, just select that send prompt button just like that. And now right away, the first thing you'll be asked is upload the video that you want analyzed.
05:50So the video I'm gonna go ahead and upload is gonna be this one right here. And Stowe must end the save on that same goat from the NBA.
05:57And so now that is exactly what I did. There it is. I uploaded the video right here.
06:01There is the full file. Okay? And now instantly, it's gonna give me the full video analysis,
06:06which will be incredibly helpful because ultimately, you want the prompt, but now this time, you're gonna get a ton of keywords you can use for yourself for new and future AI video prompts. Look at this.
06:18Scroll down, and once you go through all these meta tags and tokens, different camera shots that are gonna be so helpful for you to use in the future, even if you don't wanna duplicate this sort of a video, you could just copy and paste any of these and use them in future videos. But as we scroll all the way down, we're now gonna get the full prompt.
06:35There it is. Right here. Now go ahead and hit copy.
06:38Okay. So after pasting in that prompt, look at the video I just got now.
06:51Incredible. Now when you look at the two side by side, you could see it did a pretty good job reverse engineering this. But now let's test out the version two upgraded version.
07:01Okay. So now back in chat GPT. This is gonna be the important question right down here below at the bottom.
07:07Simply, would you like a v two cinematic upgrade with more advanced Hollywood level camera directions, stronger realism, motion design, and basically more advanced cinematography.
07:18Now all you have to say is simply yes. And just like that, look. I now get the v two cinematic
07:24upgraded prompt. It's gonna take these videos, the original one and the one I just created, and hopefully make it even better with a version two cinematic version style.
07:35Let's go ahead and copy this one right here. Okay. And now I'll use Higgs Field AI for this one.
07:40There is the full prompt on the left hand side pasted in. Now again, what I'll do now is I actually added my specific character as well. That way I can tag her.
07:49So on the left hand side, let's see where it says woman. I'll just change up the hair color from brunette to blonde like that. Okay.
07:55Blonde woman. Now, I'll tag my specific character who is in there. That way, I'm guaranteed to get this image that's up here uploaded.
08:04Now, let's go ahead and generate this one. And now just like that, look at this. Here is an upgraded version.
08:10The v two upgrade, in my opinion, it really is. This
08:18turned out fantastic. And remember, check the links in the description for this prompt generator. But if you like this video, please remember hit that subscribe button.
08:27CTAI'll see you next time.
