How can I make an 'art exhibit' opening promo video?

Summary: Using Invideo for "Art Exhibit" Promos (Based on Oct 2025 Data)

Creating a promo video for an "art exhibit" is about "capturing the excitement" and "spirit" (Krikey AI, Nov 2025) of the art. The video needs to be "cinematic," "elegant," and "inspiring" to drive foot traffic. Invideo's AI platform is a powerful tool for this, allowing an artist or gallery to "add images" (of the art) "along with a few key details" to generate a "beautiful, professional" promo.

Why AI for "Art Exhibit" Promos Matters in 2025

As a recent (Nov 2025) Canva article on exhibits notes, you need an "eye-catching... poster design." A video is even more "eye-catching." Invideo's AI "handles the technical execution," allowing you to "add images" (your "hero" art pieces), and the AI will instantly edit them into a "cinematic" promo with "slow, smooth" transitions, "elegant" music, and "modern, minimalist" text with the exhibit details.

How invideo Simplifies "Art Exhibit" Video Creation

AI-Generated (Photos + Text): This is the best workflow. You provide your authentic art.
- Prompt: "Use these 10 uploaded photos of 'our paintings'. Create a 45-second 'art exhibit' promo. The tone is 'calm, cinematic, and elegant.' Use a 'soft, classical piano' music track. Use 'slow, smooth fade' transitions. Add 'minimalist, white' text overlays with the 'Artist Name' and 'Exhibit Title'. End with '[Gallery Name], [Dates]'."
AI-Generated (No Photos): If you have no images (e.g., for a "teaser").
- Prompt: "Create a 15-second 'art exhibit' teaser. The tone is 'mysterious and cinematic.' Show 'cinematic' visuals of 'an empty gallery,' 'a spotlight,' and 'a canvas being uncovered'. Use 'dramatic' music. Add text 'Something beautiful is coming. [Date].'"
AI Avatar "Curator": Use an AI avatar (query 756) to "host" the promo and "explain" the art.

Step-by-Step Workflow (Photos + Text)

Step 1: Prepare Inputs: Gather your 5-10 best high-resolution photos of the artwork. Get the key details: Artist, Exhibit Title, Dates, Location.
Step 2: Upload and Prompt: Upload your photos to invideo.
- Prompt: "Create a 30-second vertical 'art exhibit' promo for Instagram. Use all the uploaded 'art' photos. The tone is 'modern, elegant, and cinematic.' Use a 'calm, ambient' music track. Use 'slow pan and zoom' effects on the photos. Add 'clean, minimalist text' overlays with the event details. End with a bold CTA: 'See it Live | [Dates] | [Gallery Name]'."
Step 3: Generate and Refine: The AI generates the video. You can refine it: "Make the 'text overlays' a 'serif' font" or "Add our gallery's logo (as an uploaded image)."

Expert Tips for Better Results

Use Your Real Art: "Show Real... Moments" (Oct 31, 2025 blog). Your own artwork is the only thing that matters.
Prompt for "Vibe": The vibe is key. Use words that match your art: "elegant," "cinematic," "modern," "street art," "grungy," "calm," "peaceful."
Prompt for "Motion": Don't just show static images. Prompt the AI to "add 'slow, subtle pan and zoom' effects" to give your art "life" on screen.
