Open-source rea-video reverse-engineers any video shot by shot into filmed, AI-generated or coded, with a remake plan

Original title: JuneYaooo/rea-video: Reverse-engineer any video, shot by shot: filmed, AI-generated or coded, and how to remake it. 逆向一切视频,逐个镜头看是拍的、AI 生成的还是代码做的,再告诉你怎么复刻。

JuneYaooo open-sourced rea-video, which reverse-engineers videos shot by shot to judge whether each was filmed, AI-generated or coded, then outputs a remake plan. The repo reached 5470 stars in 11 days and runs inside Claude Code, Codex or any command-capable agent, requiring ffmpeg and Python 3.10+. Output includes a one-line summary, a remake plan split into what to film, generate and code, and a full report.html with per-shot frames, prompts, lighting and audio breakdowns; hooking up a vision model like Gemini or Doubao improves accuracy and adds a reverse-engineered prompt per shot.

Why it matters

Published by the repo author, it shows how readers can judge each shot of a video as filmed, AI-generated or coded, and get a concrete remake plan.

Left: a TikTok ad shot on a phone. Right: an AI remake with another product. rea-video's verdict: the left is all live footage, one set and two camera positions; the right is all AI, 8 shots across 3 generations.

Quick start

rea-video is built for AI agents. In Claude Code, Codex or any agent that can run commands, say:

Install https://github.com/JuneYaooo/rea-video, then break down this video: /path/to/video.mp4

The agent installs the CLI, learns the workflow and runs the whole thing. You need ffmpeg and Python 3.10+.

Install by hand

brew install ffmpeg            # or: sudo apt install ffmpeg
git clone https://github.com/JuneYaooo/rea-video && cd rea-video
bash scripts/install_skill.sh  # installs the CLI (pip, or pipx / a local .venv if pip is blocked) and links the skill into ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.agents
rea-video --help

You get:

  • a one-line summary, e.g. "41% AI video + 59% code UI, 8 s of real screen recording, library music at 122 BPM"
  • a remake plan, split into what to film, what to generate and what to code
  • a full report.html with per-shot frames, evidence, prompts, camera and lighting notes, and the audio breakdown

You can also hook up a video-capable model (Gemini or Doubao both work) by giving the agent its endpoint and key. That makes the live/AI/3D calls more accurate and adds a reverse-engineered prompt for every shot. It works fine without one; if your agent can see images, it checks the uncertain shots itself.

Reports are written in whichever language you ask in (Chinese or English). The example reports below are in English.

What it can break down

Video type Examples What you get
Live footage Talking-head, tabletop, handheld product demo, vlog, store visit Setups and camera positions, framing, camera moves, lighting (12 setups with gear lists), color grade
AI video Text/image-to-video, AI short drama, AI music video Evidence, a reverse-engineered prompt per shot, how to batch into generations and which model to use
Avatar A portrait driven by audio, lip-sync Which shots are avatar shots, what portrait and audio you need
3D / animation Blender / C4D explainers, product animation, 2D animation, stop-motion Whether to generate with a video model or render from 3D code
Code / template Kinetic type, UI demos, charts, slide-style cards Text, layout and motion timing, ready to rebuild as a Remotion project
Screen recording Software tutorials, web demos Which parts are real material you'll need to record yourself
Mixed / edits AI characters + code UI + real screen capture; live footage with AI edits Each shot judged separately, then reassembled on the original timeline

Besides how the visuals were made, every breakdown also covers:

  • Captions and styled text: start and end of each line (exports to SRT / ASS), plus color, outline and how the text comes in
  • Stickers, emoji, picture-in-picture: where they sit and how long they stay
  • Editing: where the cuts are, how fast, whether they hit the beat
  • Audio: human or AI voice, AI or library music and its BPM, where each sound effect lands
  • Material you'll need to supply yourself: screen recordings, screenshots, product photos

Examples

The sample videos in docs/cases/videos/ are re-compressed to keep the repo small, which strips the TikTok / Douyin platform tags. So if you run them yourself, you'll get different results from the reports below, especially without a vision model. To reproduce them, use the original downloads from the platform.

Mixed-media clip · 19 s · 10 shots AI characters talking + code-built UI + 8 s of real screen recording. The 5 dialogue shots are broken up by UI segments but share one set, so a single generation covers all of them. Video · Report
