Minecraft parkour video generator: original footage for the bottom of your split-screen
How to make original first-person block-world parkour footage on Tanvo from a line of text, how to change the route, and how to stack it under your clip.
What the trend is
Split-screen posts put something to listen to on top, like a story, a podcast moment or a talking clip, and a parkour run underneath. The run gives the eye something to follow while the audio plays.
The catch is that most people reuse the same few screen recordings from the same few channels, and viewers notice. The Minecraft Parkour Video Generator on Tanvo makes the bottom half fresh instead: a first-person run across floating blocks, made from a line of text. Footage nobody else has posted.
One note before you start: Tanvo is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. The clips are original footage of a generic block-style world, not recordings of the game.
How to make it on Tanvo
- Open the app. Go to Minecraft Parkour Video Generator.
- Keep or edit the run. The preset prompt describes a sky-island route. Change the setting or the jumps in plain words.
- Generate. There's nothing to upload, it's text only. By default the app runs on Seedance 2 Mini and makes a 10 second vertical clip at 480p in 9:16, with sound.
- Stack it. In your editor, put your clip in the top half of a 9:16 canvas and this one in the bottom half. CapCut, InShot and Premiere all do it with two layers. Mute the run if your top clip has sound, and loop it to length.
The look
There's one look, Sky islands run. It sprints along a one-block-wide stone path floating above a sea of clouds, chains three jumps up a staircase of floating oak and cobblestone blocks, then makes a long jump to a distant island of grass and oak trees. The player's square blocky arm swings at the lower right of the frame the whole way.
For variety, swap the setting in the prompt. Some routes to try:
- Desert temple route
- Snowy mountain jumps
- Night run with torches
- Lava cave bridges
- Ocean monument path
- Cherry-blossom islands
Tips that make it work
Keep the timings. The preset is split into three beats, 0-3s, 3-6s and 6-10s, each with its own action: a sprint and a gap jump, then a turn and a jump chain, then the long jump. When you change the route, change what happens inside each beat and keep the times. That gives the run a steady rhythm.
Keep the arm line. The line about the blocky arm at the lower right is what makes the clip read as first-person parkour. Change the world around it, not the arm.
Describe jumps in plain words. Something like "through a desert temple, over sand blocks and cactus gaps" works better than a pile of adjectives. Name the blocks, the gaps and the turns.
Leave the frame to the world. The preset asks for a clean gameplay look with the whole frame given to the world and the arm. That's what you want under a talking clip, since anything busy competes with the top half.
Pick the length for the screen. 10 seconds at 480p is the cheapest loopable length. If the run fills a whole screen, go to 15 seconds or 720p. For longer videos, loop the clip, or make two runs and join them.
Cost and models
The default, 10 seconds at 480p with sound on Seedance 2 Mini, is about 220 credits. The price is shown before you run, and failed runs are refunded. Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 are also available in the app. See the pricing page for credit packs.
FAQ
Is this real Minecraft footage?
No. It's generated footage of an original block-style world, so you're not reposting someone else's screen recording. Tanvo is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.
How long is a clip?
5 to 15 seconds per run on the default model.
Does it have sound?
Yes: footsteps, landings and wind. Mute it under a clip that already has audio.
