Clone any video into yours
Paste a link to any short-form video that works, and BrandU rebuilds it with your content: the script, the shots, the captions, the voiceover, the B-roll, the effects. You edit the script — not a timeline — then render finished vertical videos.
What is video cloning?
Video cloning means using an existing video as a reference and rebuilding it with your own content: same structure, your product. It's how you start from a video that already works — not from a blank prompt.
What can you clone?
A video's strength comes from how its parts work together. BrandU breaks a reference into eight structural parts and lets you rebuild each one with your own material.
| Dimension | Kept from the reference | Rebuilt with yours |
|---|---|---|
| Script structure | The order of the argument | Your product and selling points |
| Shots / scenes | How shots connect | Your footage and product |
| Captions | When and where they appear | Your copy |
| Voiceover | Tone and rhythm | Your voice |
| B-roll | Where it cuts in | Your material |
| Effects | How they appear | Your brand feel |
| Pacing | Information density | What you emphasise |
| Format | Vertical ratio | Your platform |
What is reproduced is these structural dimensions — the soul — not the footage itself. You swap in your own material.
A video becomes a reusable format, not a one-off
Once BrandU breaks a video down, it is no longer just a finished clip — it is a production logic you can keep editing and reuse: swap components, change lines, render again.
How to clone a video with BrandU
- 1
Paste a link, or pick a template
Drop a page URL (a page URL is fine — no file needed), or start from a proven template.
- 2
Make it yours
Replace the script and the on-screen product; set the brand voice. The scenes and captions follow your words.
- 3
Render
Generate the variants and download the finished vertical videos from the tasks page.
One reference video, many variants
Change the hook, the opening, the product, the presenter or the language — one format becomes a series of tests. BrandU renders variants from one concept.
What can you use video cloning for?
Any short-form format that already sells: UGC talk-through, product reviews, multi-host interviews — for ecommerce, local business and creators.
Why clone instead of starting from scratch?
Generating from a blank prompt is a gamble — you roll the dice on structure, pacing and hook. A format that already works is a head start: cloning keeps the structure that sells and changes only what is yours.
Change one thing — the rest rearranges
Swap the hook, rewrite a line, change the language, or replace a component — BrandU re-times the timeline and the related elements for you. You never adjust a timeline by hand.
No reference video? Start with a template or a brief.
Video cloning is one way in. You can also pick a template, or describe the video you want and let BrandU draft the script from scratch.
