Make a shop promo video from text only — AI-made MP4 for Shorts and in-store screens
Short videos are everywhere: Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, a screen by the till, an event display. Editing software takes time to learn, and outsourcing costs money.
Promptpan motion cards take a different route. Instead of an image model, they ask an AI that writes and runs code to build a video where text and shapes move. You only fill in your shop name and a few lines.
How it differs from AI video generators
| Image or video generators | Motion cards (video made with code) | |
|---|---|---|
| Good at | Realistic scenes, people, places | Text, shapes and charts that move precisely |
| Text | Often misspelled or warped | Set with real fonts, exactly as typed |
| Changes | Generate again from scratch | Edit the settings panel and render again |
| You get | A video file | An MP4 plus an editable HTML source |
When the video is built around words that must be right — your shop name, prices, dates — code is the safer choice.
Which card to start with
- Introduce your shop in one sentence: One-sentence ad
- Show three features in turn: Product intro motion ad
- Play today's event on an in-store screen: "Today's event" moving vertical poster
- Answer frequent customer questions: "Donggeuli answers" character Q&A
- Explain how to use something step by step: Three-step how-to motion
Each card shows a real example video at the top, so watch the motion first.
Steps
- Fill in the card's fields — shop name, lines of text, colour set.
- Press an app button under "Copy prompt": the prompt is copied and that AI opens in a new tab.
- Paste it into the new chat and send.
- The AI writes an HTML file and renders it into an MP4.
- Check the video and post it.
Whether a service can run code and save files depends on the service and plan. If you only get code back and no video, check whether that service offers code execution and file output. Pricing and terms are set by each service.
Which AI to paste into
Each card's label names the AI that actually made its example. “Made with Claude” means Claude Opus 5.5, and “Made with GPT” means GPT-6 Astra. Other AIs that write and run code may work too, but results depend on the service and plan. If you are new, start with the AI on the label.
Changing it later
Open the HTML file you received: the settings panel at the top lets you change text, colours and tempo with a live preview. When you like it, press "Copy settings" and run the one-line render command from the card to get a new MP4. Next month's event can reuse the same video with new text.
When you ask the AI for changes, say what to change and what to keep.
Change the shop name to "Haru Bakery". Keep the motion and length the same.
Before posting
- Text: proofread your shop name, prices and dates. Code never warps letters, but it shows typos exactly as typed.
- Format: vertical 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, 16:9 for a horizontal shop screen. Most videos run about 15 seconds and loop well.
- Sound: in-store videos often play muted, so make sure the message works without sound. Online, use only the generated backing track or music you have the rights to.
- First frame: on social feeds the first frame is the thumbnail, so check that your shop name or key line is visible.
FAQ
Do I need any video editing skills?
No. You fill in the fields and paste the prompt; the AI writes and runs the code.
Can I use these videos for advertising?
Text-and-shape videos you make are yours to use for promoting your shop. If you add another company's logo or someone else's music, check those rights separately.
