LongCat Video AI Video Generator

Animate a small moment with LongCat Video. Create a short, silent motion study from text or one image.

Try an idea

Start with one gentle movement

The Maxsa version of LongCat uses the distilled 480p endpoint and a fixed short clip. It is a practical sketching tool for a breeze through leaves, drifting clouds or a slow camera move. Keep the action small enough to read in roughly four seconds.

The scene is silent, so describe visual movement rather than dialogue. A fixed camera and one moving element make the result easier to assess.

LongCat Video prompt examples

A fuller brief for the moment when you know what you want. Copy it, or send it to the creator and make it your own.

Text to video · one continuous shot

Direct the whole shot

A folded paper boat drifting past a mossy stone in a shallow stream. The boat moves slowly from left to right; small ripples spread behind it. Lock the low camera near the water.

Establish the subject clearly in the opening frame. Keep its appearance, proportions and direction of light consistent throughout. Let the action unfold at a measured pace, with no abrupt camera changes or transitions to another location.

Use a coherent foreground, middle distance and background. End with the main subject still clearly visible. No cuts, captions or added lettering.

Animate a starting image

Use the uploaded image as the starting composition. Preserve its subject, colors, material appearance and overall lighting. The boat moves slowly from left to right; small ripples spread behind it. Lock the low camera near the water.

Keep secondary movement restrained so the main action remains readable. Do not introduce new people, change the setting or redesign the subject. Maintain a steady pace and finish with a composition close to the starting view.

One continuous shot with no cuts or captions. Avoid sudden zooms or rapid camera rotation.

How to get started with LongCat Video

Set the scene

Begin your LongCat Video prompt with the subject and location. If you upload an image, use it to establish the appearance and spend the prompt on the movement you want.

Direct one action

Name what moves and how the camera behaves. “The cyclist passes from left to right; the camera stays still” is clearer than several conflicting camera directions.

Match the pace to the length

Give a short clip one readable gesture. For a longer clip, describe a gradual movement with an intentional endpoint. Check the selected duration again after changing resolution.
