Prompts to start from
What is the EveryGen AI animation generator?
It is the EveryGen AI video agent working in animated styles. Describe a scene or attach a sketch, character sheet or still, and the agent writes the prompt, picks the model and renders an animated clip with sound.
Clips run 4 to 30 seconds. Use a drawing as the opening frame to animate it, add a closing frame to control where the motion ends, and keep refining the same scene in the chat.
What you can animate
Cartoon and anime scenes
Ask for a 2D cartoon, an anime look, claymation or a 3D animated film style by naming it in the prompt.
Short animated stories
Build a short story shot by shot in one chat, reusing the same character description in every prompt.
Intros and social clips
Simple animated scenes for channel intros, social posts and backgrounds, in 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16.

Animation prompts to try
Click a prompt to load it into the composer, then edit it before you send.
Anime rooftop
“Anime style, a girl with short silver hair standing on a rooftop at sunset, wind lifting her scarf, cherry blossom petals drifting past, the camera slowly rising behind her, soft piano.”
Claymation kitchen
“Claymation stop-motion scene of a tiny clay chef flipping a pancake in a cosy kitchen, slightly jerky stop-motion movement, warm light, playful sizzling sounds.”
3D forest cub
“3D animated film style, a curious red fox cub discovering glowing mushrooms in a misty forest at night, big expressive eyes, gentle magical chimes.”
Sketch comes alive
“Animate this pencil sketch: the drawn bird shakes its wings, lifts off the paper and flies across the page, leaving a trail of graphite lines, soft paper rustle.”
Tips for better AI animation
- 1
Put the style first: start the prompt with "anime style", "claymation" or "3D animated film" so it shapes everything after it.
- 2
Keep one main action per clip; a character who waves, turns and runs in five seconds usually looks rushed.
- 3
For a consistent character, reuse the same reference drawing and the same description in every shot.
- 4
Use longer clips, up to 30 seconds with Seedance 2.5, for slow scenes, and shorter ones for quick gags.
EveryGen AI animation generator: FAQ
Yes. Attach the drawing as JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 100 MB and describe the motion. It becomes the opening frame; add a second image if you want to set the final frame.
Name the style in your prompt: 2D cartoon, anime, claymation, stop-motion, paper cut-out, watercolour or 3D animated film. Results vary by model, so try both if a style does not land.
Each clip is 4 to 30 seconds. For a longer animation, render several shots in the same chat and join them in a video editor.
Yes. Every clip is generated with sound, such as ambience, effects or music, together with the picture.
Credits depend on model, length and resolution. A 5-second MiniMax H3 clip at 2K costs 100 credits; the composer shows the exact price before you send.
