Video Breakdown takes the link of a short video and deconstructs it into a recipe you could film again: the hook and why it works, the visual style, the pacing, a transcript with timings, and a scene-by-scene list with shot type and camera movement. Open it at app.percify.io/home/breakdown. It costs 5 credits per video and the credits come back automatically if it fails.
The Percify Video Breakdown screen with a field for a TikTok, YouTube Short or Reel link and the Break it down button

Paste a link and press Break it down. The price and the refund rule are stated on the page.

​
What you give it

A link to a TikTok, a YouTube Short or an Instagram Reel. Paste it in the field and press Break it down.

​
What you get back

Scenes also carry the first and last frame where those are available, so you can see how each shot opens and closes.

​
What it costs

5 credits per video. If the breakdown fails, the 5 credits are returned automatically. See How Percify credits work.

​
Breakdown or Replicate a short?

They start the same way and end differently. Use Video Breakdown when you are studying a format. Use Replicate a short when you want to put your own face, character or voice through it.
