In this video, I’m showing you the exact way I’m generating that trending AI retro / vintage look using Google Gemini and viral-style prompts. If you’ve been seeing those nostalgic film tones all over Instagram and Reels, this is basically the shortcut: you don’t need complicated manual grading first—just the right prompt structure to get warm vintage colors, grain, light leaks, and that “old camera” vibe in one go. I also share my Prompt PDF so you can copy-paste and start testing instantly, plus I’ve linked RAW photos so you can practice on the same type of files I use. My main takeaway: don’t rely on random one-line prompts. I build prompts that mention the film mood, color tone, texture (grain/dust), lighting (soft fade/light leak), and camera-era feel—because that’s what makes the result look authentic instead of like a fake filter. If you’re a creator and you want your edits to stand out for Reels/TikTok, mastering these retro prompts is one of the easiest ways to catch the trend early and post faster.
