How do I make an anime opening with an AI video generator?
Make an anime opening by planning a short sequence of character introductions, a change in energy and a closing image around your song. Use AI Music.Video to generate the storyboard, images and clips. Define your own character design and visual rules before adding movement.

Before you start
Choose a track and references you can use. Write the protagonist's appearance, the setting and the emotional change in the opening. Decide whether the sequence is a full opening or a short concept test. Follow the music video animation guide for the overall production order.
Steps
- Open Create, add the music and choose the passage. In the description, name visible style choices: clean outlines, flat shading, a limited palette and the intended setting. Describe an original protagonist rather than relying on the name of a known character.
- Review the Storyboard as a sequence. Introduce the character, show the world and reserve the strongest image for a musical change. Keep each scene to one main action. A complicated fight or several simultaneous gestures is difficult to evaluate in a first test.
- Generate the shot images. Compare eye shape, hair, outfit and proportions across them. Follow character continuity checks before producing motion. A style prompt alone will not keep every detail fixed.
- Generate scene videos and watch the movement at normal speed. Select approved versions, assemble the final video and download it. Add opening titles or credits in an external editor so their wording and timing remain under your control.
Worked example
An example opening starts with a student waiting under a station clock, cuts to a train entering the frame, and ends on the student looking toward sunrise. A blue-and-gold palette connects the images. Use the chorus entrance for the widest shot, then hold the closing composition long enough to read a title.
Check the result
The result should introduce a recognizable character and world while following the song's energy. Review the sequence without text first. If it already communicates the idea, add titles afterward. Return to the main music video guide for the final audio and export checks.
If something goes wrong
If the character changes between clips, correct the source image or simplify the pose. If text generated inside an image is unreadable, remove it from the image prompt and place the words in an editor. If the sequence feels busy, reduce scene actions before adding more transitions.
