Creating viral social media videos doesn’t require a production team or a technical background anymore. With Promptus, anyone can design captivating, share-worthy content using drag-and-drop AI workflows.
Whether you're a marketer, creator, entrepreneur, or just getting started, here’s a complete guide to help you make your first viral video—from prompt to publish. 🎥🚀
🌟 Why Promptus Is a Game-Changer for Social Video
Promptus is a no-code AI studio that turns creative concepts into compelling videos through visual workflows. The heart of Promptus is Cosyflows: a modular, drag-and-drop system where you link together "nodes" that handle image generation, animation, audio, upscaling, and more.
The real superpower? MoMM (Model Multi-Modality). With MoMM, you can use multiple AI models (image, video, and audio) in one cohesive workflow, giving you full creative control without writing a single line of code.
🔧 Step-by-Step Workflow: Make a Viral Video in 7 Moves
1. Pick a Viral-Worthy Hook or Concept
Start with a theme that resonates emotionally or taps into trending topics. Examples:
- "POV: You time travel to 2050"
- "Why no one talks about THIS secret in coffee shops..."
- "This is what the first Martian wedding might look like"
2. Generate a Visual with a Style Prompt
Use a Promptus image generation node (e.g., SDXL or Flux). Try these real prompts:
"A dreamy cyberpunk city with glowing signs, rainy reflections, 4K, cinematic lighting"
"LEGO-style wizard casting a fire spell, brick texture, sharp details, 3:2"
"An astronaut hugging a robot on Mars, sunrise, photorealistic, shallow depth of field"
3. Add Animation or Style Transfer
Bring your image to life with subtle motion. Connect:
- Style Transfer Node: for AI-painted effects (anime, VHS, oil painting)
- Motion Node: to add parallax, zooms, or subtle pan effects
4. Split Your Clip for Multi-Style Remixing
Use the Timeline Splitter Node to divide your 15–30 sec video into 3 parts. Apply different styles for each:
- Clip 1: Cyberpunk
- Clip 2: Steampunk
- Clip 3: Pastel anime
5. Overlay Text and Captions
Use the Text Overlay Node to grab attention early. Real hook scripts:
- "Wait until you see what happens at 0:13..."
- "Can you tell this isn’t real?"
- "This AI video cost $0 and looks better than Hollywood."
Fonts: Use bold, high-contrast sans-serif (e.g., Montserrat, Oswald). Colors: White or yellow with a subtle drop shadow.
6. Add Audio and Voiceover
Drag in a Text-to-Speech Node or Audio Sync Node. Try these sample narrations:
- "In the near future, everything changes. Here's a glimpse."
- "This is not a movie scene. This was made entirely by AI."
- "You won't believe what AI can do in 2025."
You can also add ambient sound or music using AI-generated audio libraries.
7. Export and Format for Social Media
Use Promptus export options:
- Resolution: 1080x1920 (vertical)
- Duration: 15–30 sec
- Format: MP4 (H.264)
Then upload to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X (Twitter Video), or even LinkedIn with slightly tailored captions.
