Reverse-Engineer Any Viral Video with ChatGPT, Then Recast Yourself via Seedance

The author shares a three-step workflow to "Shazam" almost any viral video and recreate it with yourself as the star:
- Step 1: Download the target video from any social platform with a free downloader tool.
- Step 2: Upload the video to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini along with a photo of yourself and prompt: "Look at this video frame by frame, then create a prompt for Seedance 2.5 to recreate this video perfectly, using me from the reference photo as the main character."
- Step 3: Paste the generated prompt into a video tool (e.g., Syllaby, the author's affiliate link) to render, schedule, and publish across social platforms.
The core trick: use a multimodal model's frame-by-frame understanding to write high-fidelity prompts for a video generation model, automating deconstruct-recast-replicate content production.
