MakeThisVid is an AI video ad generator for education businesses — online courses, bootcamps, tutoring services, and ed-tech platforms — that turns a text prompt or photo into an 8-second video ad with audio in under two minutes. Commercial use is included on every plan.

AI Video Ad Generator for Education

Online education is one of the most competitive ad verticals on Meta and TikTok. The brands winning are the ones testing creative faster than anyone else. MakeThisVid lets course creators, coding bootcamps, tutoring services, and ed-tech platforms generate polished video ads from a prompt or instructor headshot — without a production team. Test different transformation stories, outcome claims, and student personas at the cost of a single credit each.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). Credit packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits.

  2. Open the Create page

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Generate multiple transformation stories in one session.
