Things to ask AI to generate, from a single sentence
Good things to ask AI to generate fit in one sentence: a picture of a scene, a short video clip, or a change to a photo you already have. On MarketVideo every request returns a file you can download, not a chat reply.

Below, requests are sorted by what you get back. You will see how much detail a short sentence needs, which ideas the ready templates already cover, where free runs come from, and which requests no wording can fix.
Three kinds of result from one sentence
Ask for a picture and you name a subject, a place and a mood: "a fox reading a map in a snowy train station, warm lamp light". Ask for a video and add what moves: the subject, the camera or both. Ask for an edit and attach your own photo, then say only what should change, such as the background or the color of a coat.
How short a request can be
Seven to ten words are often enough for a still image. Add more only when a detail matters to you, because whatever you leave out the model decides on its own. Video needs a little more: without an action or a camera move the clip tends to look like a postcard that barely breathes. No two runs match exactly, which makes a retry part of the routine.
Things to ask AI to turn you into
To see yourself in another era or genre, open a template where the sentence is already written. Your Totally '80s Look restyles your hair, clothes and surroundings as a mid-1980s snapshot. Dragon Fire Mage casts you as a cinematic fantasy character, and Big-Head 3D Cartoon makes a playful 3D version of your face. You upload one photo; the scene lives in the template.
Fun AI image ideas for photos you already have
Art styles are the other easy win. Geometric Folk Art Illustration redraws a photo as flat geometric shapes, Balloon Sculpture Art rebuilds it from glossy twisted balloons, and Organic Pixel Flow adds a pixel effect while keeping people, buildings and objects in place. These suit pets, streets and group shots, not only portraits.
Stars, starter balance and free runs
Registration is free, and once the email address checks out, five starter stars appear on your balance. The star price is printed on every template and model before you press the button. Templates marked Free today cover a small daily quota of runs at no charge. Typing "free" into the request changes nothing. When the balance runs dry, plans and one-off packs are listed under Pricing.
Requests no wording can fix
The direction is one way: you describe, the model makes images or clips. It will not describe your photo back to you, read text from a scan or cut a video you upload. It does not chat, and there is no voice or music generation. Leave out celebrities, people who have not agreed and fake documents; upload kids' pictures only if they are your own family.

FAQ
What is the difference between a request and a prompt?
Mostly the amount of preparation. A prompt is a worked-out instruction with style, light and angle; a request is a plain sentence. Both work. A prompt buys predictability, a request saves time, and the gaps get sensible defaults that are often good enough.
Do I need to name a model in my request?
Not in the sentence itself, since the text does not switch models. On Create photo you pick one from a list, Nano Banana and Seedream 4.5 among them, and every template has its model set in advance. For a short request either is a reasonable start.
Why does the same request give different results?
Anything you leave unsaid is decided again on every run: light, angle, background. If the variety gets in the way, add what must stay fixed. Naming the background and the style is usually enough to keep a series consistent.
Can I ask for a video in one sentence?
Yes. Create video takes your written scene, an optional reference image and the video engine you prefer, Grok Video or Veo 3.1 for instance. Say what moves and how the camera behaves. Plan on a few minutes of waiting; peak traffic on the site can stretch that.
