Step by step
- Outline the reference as beats. One line per beat, describing its job, not its words. For example: “Hook: states a surprising result” rather than the creator's actual sentence.
- Choose your topic. Pick something you actually know about. A borrowed structure carries a weak topic only so far.
- Rewrite each beat. Fill each beat's job with your own claim, story, or example. If a line could only have come from the original video, rewrite it.
- Check the result stands alone. Someone who has seen the original shouldn't recognise your script as a copy. They should only notice that it's well built.
How Flurra does this
In the Flurra iPhone app, compare a reference video with one of your own. Flurra lines up the hook, setup, payoff, and call to action of both, then gives you a remix plan that combines their structure with your topic, which you can turn into a script in your voice.
Common questions
Is remixing the same as copying?
No. Remixing keeps the structure and replaces the substance. Copying keeps the words, footage, or distinctive ideas. Only the first is yours to post.
