Reference Video

Reference Videos Banner

The Reference Video is your most powerful tool for controlling the quality and personality of your script. When you provide a YouTube link in Manual Mode, our AI analyzes that video’s transcript to learn its rhythm, sentence structure, vocabulary, and pacing. It then mirrors that specific style in your generated video.

⚠️ Crucial Distinction: The Reference Video ONLY influences the writing style (the script). It does NOT influence the visuals, B-roll, or editing style. Those are determined by your Prompt and Theme.
The “Human Script” Rule (Pro Tip)

To get the best possible result, you must follow this golden rule:
Always link to a video narrated by a human.

  • Why? If you link to a competitor’s video that uses an AI voice, Vidrush will learn from a robotic, simplified script. The result will sound like “AI mimicking AI.”
  • The Fix: Link to a high-quality documentary channel (like Fern, Vox, or Lemmino) that uses professional human writers. Vidrush will learn their sophisticated sentence structures and pacing, making your AI-generated script sound significantly more human.

Auto vs. Manual Selection

  • In Auto Mode: Vidrush automatically selects a suitable reference video based on your prompt’s topic.
  • In Manual Mode: You have full control. You can paste any YouTube URL to force the AI to write in that specific style.
