These AI video prompt examples are ready to copy into Claude, ChatGPT or Kimi once OpenArt MCP is connected. Each prompt runs a full AI video workflow from the chat: OpenArt picks up the request, makes the image or video, and sends the result back to the conversation.
Every card below names the OpenArt model it uses and its credit cost, so you know the price before you paste. Each prompt was run once through OpenArt MCP before this guide was published.
Key takeaways
- OpenArt MCP lets you make AI images and videos from a chat in Claude, ChatGPT or Kimi with your OpenArt account.
- Each of the 10 prompts names an OpenArt model and its credit cost, like Kling 3 Omni at about 175 credits for a 5-second product video.
- Asking for the cost first, then approving a test before a big batch, keeps OpenArt credit spend low.
- A reference photo keeps the same face or product across every OpenArt image and video in a set.
- Smart Shot on OpenArt MCP can plan a scene as a storyboard before you pay for the video.

What makes an AI video prompt work in a chat?
A strong AI video prompt names five things: the subject, what it does, how the camera moves, the light, and the length. "A ceramic coffee dripper on a wooden counter, steam rising, slow push-in, soft morning light, 5 seconds" gives OpenArt everything it needs.
Three habits make AI video prompts in a chat cheaper and more reliable:
- Ask for the credit cost first. Add "Tell me the cost before you start" to any prompt. The chat checks the price in OpenArt and waits for your yes.
- Approve a test before a batch. Ask for one to three test results, check them, then ask for the rest. Catching a wrong look on three test images saves the credits for the other twenty-seven.
- Name the model, or let the chat pick. You can write "use Kling 3 Omni" in the prompt. If you leave it out, the chat picks an OpenArt model that fits the request.
Small on-screen text often blurs once a picture starts moving. Keep headlines large, and keep the motion gentle when text needs to stay readable.
10 AI video prompt examples to copy
Each AI video prompt example below is one card: what it makes, who it's for, the OpenArt model and its credit cost, and the prompt to copy. Credit costs are the default prices in the OpenArt MCP model list as of October 2026. Longer clips and higher resolutions cost more.
1. Turn a product photo into a product video
A product photo becomes a short product video with slow camera movement and the label still sharp. It's the fastest way to get motion for a product page or an ad.
- Best for: small business owners and agencies
- Model and cost: Kling 3 Omni, image to video, about 175 credits for a 5-second clip
Use OpenArt to animate this product photo into a 5-second video: slow
push-in, soft studio light, the label stays sharp. Tell me the cost first.
Attach your product photo with the prompt. No product photo yet? Ask OpenArt to make one with Nano Banana 2.1 first, then animate it. For longer product videos and lifestyle scenes, see OpenArt's AI product video generator.
2. Get three ad directions from one brief
One campaign brief turns into three different visual directions, and you pick one before OpenArt makes the final images. It saves a round of mood boards with a client.
- Best for: agencies and brand teams
- Model and cost: Nano Banana 2.1, text to image, about 30 credits per image
Here is my campaign brief: [brief]. Propose 3 visual directions, wait
for my pick, then generate 3 images of the chosen one in 4:5.
Check the spelling of any headline in the images before you use them. To turn the winning direction into a finished video ad, see how to create video ads with AI in Claude.
3. Make a UGC ad and test five hooks
The chat writes five UGC-style scripts with a different opening line each, then OpenArt makes the one you pick as a video of a presenter talking to the camera. The hook is the first second of the ad, so testing several is how you find the one people stop for.
- Best for: performance marketers, small business owners and agencies
- Model and cost: Seedance 2.0, element to video, from about 400 credits per clip
Write 5 UGC-style scripts for [product], each with a different
first-second hook. After I pick one, generate it with a presenter in
[setting], natural light, speaking to camera.
Attach a photo of your presenter so the same person appears in every version. Seedance 2.0 adds the voice and moves the lips to match. Play the video with sound and check that the words match the mouth. For more talking-head ads, see OpenArt's UGC ads generator.
4. Keep the same character across ten scenes
One reference photo keeps the same face across a whole set of images in new outfits, places and poses. Brand teams use it for a campaign face, and filmmakers use it to plan scenes with one cast.
- Best for: brand teams, filmmakers and AI influencer accounts
- Model and cost: Nano Banana Pro, image to image, about 40 credits per image
This is my character reference. Generate 3 test images with the same
face: [outfits], [places], [poses]. After I approve, make the rest of
the set.
Put the test images side by side and compare the face before you approve the full set. Next step: ask OpenArt to turn your favorite image into a short video clip.
5. Plan the shot before you pay for the video
Smart Shot on OpenArt plans a scene as one storyboard sheet before any video gets made. The sheet shows the set, the camera plan, storyboard frames and lighting notes, so you can fix the plan while it's cheap.
- Best for: filmmakers, storyboard artists and agencies
- Model and cost: Smart Shot, shot plan only, about 60 credits
Plan this scene as a shot plan first: [scene]. Show me the storyboard
and camera plan; don't render video until I approve.
Smart Shot also writes a ready-to-use video prompt for the plan. When you approve, ask OpenArt to make the video from that plan.
6. Compare three video models on one prompt
The same prompt runs on three OpenArt video models, and the results come back side by side with the cost of each. You find out which model handles your idea best before you spend on a full batch.
- Best for: anyone choosing a model for a new project
- Models and cost: PixVerse V6 (about 50 credits), Wan 3.0 (about 100 credits) and Kling 3.0 (about 175 credits), text to video
Run this prompt on three OpenArt video models and show the results side
by side with the credit cost of each: [prompt].
Each model has its own default settings. In our test, PixVerse V6 came back at 540p with no sound, Wan 3.0 at 480p with sound, and Kling 3.0 at 720p with sound. Ask for the same resolution on all three if you want a fair comparison.
7. Resize one ad for every platform
One ad image becomes a 9:16 version for Stories and Reels, a 1:1 version for feeds and a 16:9 version for YouTube. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 on OpenArt extends or adjusts the picture to fit each shape.
- Best for: agencies and small business owners
- Model and cost: Grok Imagine Image 2.0, image to image, about 33 credits per size
Reframe this ad image into 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9. Keep the product and
headline fully inside the frame.
Check that the headline is whole and spelled right in every size. Next step: ask OpenArt to animate the 9:16 version for Reels.
8. Make a before-and-after transition
Two photos become one smooth video that starts on the "before" and ends on the "after." It works for room makeovers, product upgrades and haircuts.
- Best for: small business owners
- Model and cost: Veo 3.1, image to video with a first and last frame, from about 120 credits
Use image 1 as the first frame and image 2 as the last frame. Make a
6-second transition between them with a smooth reveal.
Use two photos taken from the same spot, so the room or product lines up in both. Only have the "before"? Ask OpenArt to make the "after" from it first.
9. Film a short-drama scene up to 30 seconds
Character reference photos turn into one continuous scene with spoken lines, up to 30 seconds long. Seedance 2.5 keeps the characters looking the same and moves their lips to the words.
- Best for: filmmakers and short-drama makers
- Model and cost: Seedance 2.5, element to video, from about 300 credits; a full 30-second scene at 480p costs about 1,810 credits
Using these character references, make one 30-second scene: [story
moments]. Keep both characters consistent and add dialogue: [lines].
Start with a 12-second version to check the faces and voices, then make the full 30 seconds. For more on writing Seedance prompts, see the Seedance 2.5 prompt guide.
10. Design a poster, then animate it
The chat designs a poster with your headline, and once you approve it, OpenArt turns it into a 5-second moving loop. A static event poster becomes a post that moves in the feed.
- Best for: small business owners and event organizers
- Models and cost: Nano Banana 2.1 for the poster (about 30 credits), then Grok Imagine 1.5, image to video (about 405 credits)
Design a poster for [event] with the headline '[text]'. After I approve
it, animate it into a 5-second loop with subtle motion.
Keep the motion subtle so the headline stays readable. Play the loop once and check the text before you post it.
What other creative MCP use cases can you try?
Most MCP use cases you'll find online are for developers. OpenArt MCP adds creative MCP use cases that run in the same chat:
- Batch production into one project. Ask OpenArt for ten product clips in one request and save them all to a named OpenArt project.
- Hook variations for ad tests. Keep one approved ad and ask OpenArt for a new opening clip for each hook you want to test.
- Reusing past work. Ask OpenArt to use a past generation or an upload from your OpenArt library as the reference for something new.
- A shared prompt library for clients. Save the prompts that worked for each client in one document, then paste them into a new chat when the next campaign starts.
- Explainer videos. Plan each step of a product explainer with Smart Shot, then make the clips one step at a time.
These Claude MCP examples work the same way in ChatGPT and Kimi, because the requests go to the same OpenArt account.
