Viral Video – Simple step-by-step guide

A beginner-friendly guide to making Viral Videos on Trending.com. Pick a theme, approve the story, image, and final short video.

What this video is

A Viral Video is a short guided workflow. You pick a theme, review the story, create one image, then turn that image into a short finished video.

Who this is for

Use Viral when you want a fast, simple workflow and do not want to build a full video scene by scene.

What you do

  • Pick a theme.
  • Add your own details if you want, or leave it blank.
  • Approve the story.
  • Create and choose the image you want.
  • Create the final video and download it.

What we do for you

  • Turn the theme into a short story.
  • Build the image prompt and video prompt.
  • Create a realistic 9:16 image for the video.
  • Create the final 9:16 video.
  • Show a clear progress card while each create step is running, so you always know what is happening.

Theme in v001

The first theme is Cute Animal Moment.

This means a short animal story with a cute setup, a funny surprise, and a happy ending.

The goal is a real-life phone video look. The animals do not talk. They react with body language and cute non-verbal sounds instead.

The video prompt also favors natural pacing words like long pause or quick recoil instead of exact second counts, and the laugh should feel cute and toddler-like without turning into speech.

Steps

  1. Theme
    Pick the theme, add your own details if you want, or click Surprise me.
  2. Story
    Review the story and make another version if you want a different idea. Jenny shows a progress card while this step is working.
  3. Image
    Create the image, try a few versions if needed, then choose the one you want to animate. Sage shows a progress card while the image is being made.
  4. Video
    Create the final short video, review the full video prompt if you want to edit it, then download it or open it in My Library. Rune stays on screen while the final video is still being created, without a separate short start popup first.

Credits

Credits are used only when you create the story, create an image, or create the final video.

The final video cost is based on seconds.

Limits in v001

  • The video is always vertical 9:16.
  • The Cute Animal Moment theme starts at 10 seconds.

Where the video goes

When the video is finished, it is saved to My Library like your other created videos. You can open it there later and download it again.
