OpenArt’s “One-Click Story”: Easily Create AI Videos with a Single Sentence

AI-generated “brain rot” videos, featuring quirky scenes like sharks wearing pig shoes or ballet dancers with coffee cup heads, are trending among young internet users. One leading startup behind this trend is OpenArt, founded in 2022 by two former Google employees. Currently, they boast nearly 3 million monthly active users.

Recently, OpenArt launched the new “One-Click Story” feature, enabling users to create one-minute story videos using just a single sentence, script, or song. The feature offers three templates — Character Vlog, Music Video, and Explainer Video — allowing users to produce various types of videos suitable for platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

Users can choose from over 50 AI-based models such as DALLE-3, GPT, Imagen, Flux Kontext, and Stable Diffusion. A major advantage of OpenArt is maintaining character consistency and storyline coherence throughout the video.

However, the company remains cautious about legal risks. Use of copyrighted characters like Pikachu, SpongeBob, and Super Mario can cause issues. OpenArt has implemented content blocking and is negotiating licensing agreements with copyright holders.

Co-founder Ko Ko Mao stated, “We try to avoid copyright infringement, but sometimes some characters slip through system gaps.”

The company plans to add a feature enabling video creation of conversations between two characters and develop a mobile app.

OpenArt’s credit-based service is available in four plans, with the cheapest offering 4,000 credits monthly for $14. Higher plans provide more credits and story creation options.

So far, OpenArt has raised $5 million in funding and is on track to generate $20 million in annual revenue.

As a quick and easy method for AI video creation, OpenArt continues to gain strong popularity among youth and content creators, while staying vigilant about copyright and ethical concerns.
