MakeThisVid is an AI video ad generator for automotive businesses that turns a vehicle photo or text prompt into an 8-second video ad — 1080p with audio — in under two minutes. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.

AI Video Ad Generator for Automotive & Car Dealers

Car shoppers watch video before they visit a lot — but most independent dealers and service shops don't have a production budget for each vehicle. Drop a vehicle photo or describe the car, the road, and the moment, and MakeThisVid renders a cinematic 8-second clip with audio. Download the MP4 and run it on Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, or YouTube to put your inventory in front of in-market buyers without a film crew.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a vehicle photo or write a scene prompt

    Use a clean exterior or interior vehicle photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB), or write a prompt describing the car, the setting, and the mood. Studio-style white backgrounds and outdoor lifestyle settings both work well.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animates your vehicle photo with cinematic camera movement. Text → Video: generates an automotive scene from scratch — useful for brand storytelling or model launches.

  3. Write an automotive motion prompt

    Automotive video performs best with slow orbits, hero passes, and dramatic lighting reveals. E.g. "Slow orbit around a black sports coupe on a wet urban road at night, neon reflections, low-angle lens, dramatic side lighting." Lead with the hero moment.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Deploy to your ad platforms

    Download the MP4 and run it on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or embed it in a vehicle detail page. Commercial use included on every plan.
