Direct answer
Can AI Recreate a Viral Video?
Yes, if you have the video file. On Reviral you add the clip as a reference video, and a video model that accepts reference videos uses it as a guide for motion, camera and timing while your prompt swaps in your own product, person or place. Seedance 2.5 takes up to 10 reference videos, 30 pictures and 10 audio clips in one render.
It is not a copy button. The reference guides the model, and your words decide what changes. Watch every result and adjust the prompt.
Reviral does not import TikTok, Instagram or YouTube links today: upload the video file itself.

The button on this page opens step 1 with Seedance 2.5 picked.
- 01
Add the reference video
Open the video studio and add the clip under references (MP4 video, up to 60 MB each). It becomes Video 1. Seedance 2.5 takes up to 10; add product pictures too if you have them.
- 02
Say what to keep and what to change
Write one prompt that names Video 1 and says what to follow from it (camera move, pacing, the action) and what is new (your product, person, place, words). Or open the Director panel, describe the idea, and press Use this prompt.
- 03
Render and compare
Pick 9:16 for TikTok or Reels and press Generate. The 30-second 720p option with references costs 125 credits (about $1.56). Watch it next to the original and change one line of the prompt at a time.
Plan it before you render
What Gets Copied and What Changes?
A reference video gives the model a guide. Your prompt decides which parts it follows and which parts are yours. Name each part in the prompt.
| Part of the video | Follow the reference | Make it yours |
|---|---|---|
| Hook (first 2-3 seconds) | The kind of opening move, such as a fast push-in or a hand reaching into frame | What appears: your product, your face, your words |
| Pacing | How often the shot changes and how fast things move | The length: up to 30 seconds in one render |
| Camera | The camera path: push-in, orbit, handheld follow | The place the camera is in |
| Action | The movement: a pour, an unboxing, a dance step | Who or what does it |
| Look | Light direction and colour mood, if you ask for them | Your brand colours, set in words or reference pictures |
| Words and sound | Nothing: write your own | Your own script, voice, captions and music |
A reference video guides the model; it does not guarantee an exact match. Check every frame before you publish.

Rights note
Which Videos Can You Legally Recreate?
Only use references you are allowed to adapt: your own videos, videos you have a licence for, or clips whose owner has agreed. Copying someone's whole video, their face or their voice without permission is not allowed on Reviral.
Recreating a format is different from copying a video. A hook style, a camera move or a pacing pattern is a format; the original creator's footage, music and likeness belong to them.
Prompt example
How Do You Write a Prompt That Recreates a Video?
Name the reference and the parts to follow, then describe what is new. Example: "Follow the camera move, pacing and hand action of Video 1, but show my own product: a green glass water bottle on a wooden desk. Keep the same number of cuts as Video 1. Warm morning light from a window on the left."
Change one thing per render. If the camera is right but the product looks wrong, add a product picture as a reference and say "the bottle in Image 1".
