ReelDNA
ReelDNA is an AI-powered video production studio that reverse-engineers what makes a creator's content go viral and then directs your next video in that exact proven style.
Core trick
Gemini watches reference videos frame by frame to extract cut rate, hook, and shot types, then a planner writes a scene blueprint in that style.
Description
ReelDNA is an AI-powered video production studio that reverse-engineers what makes a creator's content go viral and then directs your next video in that exact proven style.
The Problem: Every day, thousands of creators — and brands who know their product inside out but have no idea how to make it go viral on social media — publish videos that flop. Not because the idea was bad, but because the execution was wrong. The hook came too late. The pacing dragged. The shot types didn't match the platform. The difference between a 4M-view video and a 2K-view video from the same creator often comes down to a handful of specific, repeatable patterns patterns that are invisible to the human eye but detectable by AI.
The Solution: ReelDNA uses Gemini 3.5 Flash's multimodal video understanding to watch any creator's reference video frame-by-frame and extract their creative DNA — hook formula, cuts-per-minute, shot types, narrative arc, and audio signature. It then uses the Antigravity managed agent to direct a brand-new 7-scene production blueprint in that creator's exact style, applied to your idea. Imagen 4 generates a pencil-sketch storyboard frame for each scene in parallel. The result is a complete, shoot-ready production document: every scene has a shot type, exact dialogue, on-screen text, and audio cue — specific enough for a real director to execute on day one.
No video editing experience required. Upload a reference video or pick from 6 built-in creator archetypes (Vox, MrBeast, MKBHD, Ali Abdaal, Nas Daily, Kurzgesagt) and describe your idea. ReelDNA does the rest in under 30 seconds.
README excerpt
# ReelDNA ### AI-powered video production planning **Turn a video idea into a creator-inspired, scene-by-scene production blueprint.** ReelDNA combines a reference video's storytelling patterns—or an editable creator-style preset—with your idea to plan what to film, say, show, and hear. The project includes a browser-based storyboard studio and standalone Python experiments for extracting creator “DNA” and generating production directions. ReelDNA plans a video; it does **not** render a finished video or generate an audio track. > **Compatibility notice — September 10, 2026:** The checked-in image integration targets `imagen-4.0-fast-generate-001`. Google's [deprecation schedule][google-deprecations] lists August 17, 2026 as its shutdown date. Treat sketch generation as a legacy integration that needs migration, not a guaranteed working feature. The server catches individual sketch failures and can still return the text storyboard.
