Make these AI video prompts your own

  1. Start from the closest one

    Among the AI video prompts, pick the one whose camera and sound are nearest to what you want, not the nicest subject.

  2. Swap one block at a time

    Change the subject, keep the camera and sound. Then change the sound. AI video prompts teach most when one change per run shows what each part does.

  3. Run it where it fits

    Most AI video prompts here are text prompts. Load them into text to video, or adapt the action for an image you already have.

Run these AI video prompts in text to video or start from a picture in image to video. Photo templates such as zombie love story AI and the gangnam style AI video selfie dance load their prompt for you. Every other tool is listed under AI video tools.

AI video prompts FAQ

We wrote them and ran them on MiniMax H3. Each one is a complete shot with scene, sound and music written out. We only publish AI video prompts we have run ourselves.

Yes, but these AI video prompts were written in MiniMax H3's three-block format. The scene block carries the subject, action and camera, which any model reads; results will differ from model to model.

Click Run this prompt on any card. The AI video prompts open in the video console exactly as written, with the right mode selected, and nothing runs until you press Generate.

Length is a setting in the console, not a sentence in the prompt. Our AI video prompts describe one shot; the model fits that action into the length you pick.

The AI video prompts are yours to copy and change. Commercial use of the generated clip follows the terms of the model you run it on and this site's terms.
