Guide
How to make a social media promo video with AI
Short answer
Connect PopNow to your assistant or install a promo video skill, then say what you are promoting and where it will run. Pick from more than 20 free styles, such as pixel art, ASCII glitch, plush characters or testimonials; the agent cuts the piece to the platform's shape and length, renders the MP4 and adds PopNow music and sound effects after you approve the price.
Five steps from idea to file
Connect PopNow once
Add PopNow to Claude, ChatGPT or another app that supports MCP, or install the skill in a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. It takes about a minute.
Say what you want
Describe the piece in plain words: what it is for, how long or how many pages, and anything it must include.
Pick a style
Your assistant shows matching styles with a preview of each. Pick one, or ask for the one you saw on this page by name.
Approve the price
The skill is free. Any pictures, clips, music or voice it needs are priced before anything runs, and nothing starts until you say yes.
Get the finished file
In a coding agent the skill builds and renders the files on your computer. In a chat app it plans the piece and makes the media with PopNow. Failed runs are refunded automatically.
Try asking

Questions
Can AI make promo videos for social media?
Yes. A promo skill plans the beats, animates them in HTML, renders a short MP4 in the right shape for the platform and adds PopNow music and sound effects you approve.
Which formats are supported?
Most styles render 16:9, and many also have 9:16 vertical and 1:1 square cuts for short-form feeds.
Can I post the video commercially?
Yes. What you make is yours, including ads and client work, as long as you have the rights to the material you supply.
What does it cost?
The skills are free; music, sound effects and any generated footage use PopNow credits, priced before each run.
