What is Muse Video?
Muse Video is the video model in Meta's Muse AI family. Most people use it inside Meta's Muse app, a chat agent: you describe the video, or paste a long prompt, and it produces the clip. Through apimodels.app the same model is available over an API as muse-video, with the limits listed below.
Who wrote these prompts, and why are some of them excerpts?
Each card credits the creator and links to the original post on X. A prompt is quoted in full when its author invited readers to use it, or when it is 600 characters or shorter; longer prompts are quoted from the beginning, word for word, and marked as excerpts, with the full text in the original post. If you wrote one of these prompts and want it removed or the credit corrected, email us or open an issue on the GitHub repository.
Where can I run these prompts?
In Meta's Muse app, where they were written, or through the API on apimodels.app as muse-video: text, one first frame or one to four reference images in; a 720p clip of 4 to 20 seconds out, 16:9 or 9:16. It is billed at $0.037 per requested second (4 seconds $0.148, 10 seconds $0.37, 20 seconds $0.74); failed tasks are not charged, and not every request succeeds. Clips of up to 10 seconds usually take 1 to 2 minutes.
Why does a long prompt from this page fail on the API?
The API takes prompts of up to 4,000 characters and clips of 4 to 20 seconds. Several prompts here are longer than that or describe a 30-second to one-minute film. Split them by clip, keep the character and costume block identical in every request, and edit the clips together.
How do I keep the same person across shots?
Send reference images: one to four photos of the person keep the face, hair and outfit without forcing the clip to start from any of them. A first frame instead makes the clip start from that exact picture. You can send one or the other, not both. The reference-sheet prompts on this page are written for a single composite image with a headshot and a three-view outfit sheet.
Do the one-line instructions work through the API?
No. Instructions such as "turn the images in this post into a video" rely on the Muse app opening the link and writing its own prompt. The API only receives the text and images you send, so write the shots out or use one of the full prompts instead.
Can I use these prompts commercially?
The prompts belong to their authors. Check the original post before reusing one commercially. For clips you generate yourself, check the terms of the service you generate them with.
