AI Video Ad Generator for Music

No editing timeline. No crew. Generate visual content that captures your genre's mood, tease an album drop with a cinematic clip, or create ad creative for a Spotify pre-save campaign — all without a video production budget.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Start with a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits. Commercial use is included on every plan.

  2. Choose Text → Video or Photo → Video

    Describe an atmosphere in text — genre, mood, visual style — or upload an artist photo or album art (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) to animate. Both modes are on the Create page.

  3. Write a genre-specific motion prompt

    Music video atmosphere responds to lighting, texture, and motion style. E.g. "Dark moody studio, artist silhouette against purple neon, slow push-in, fog machine haze, cinematic grain." Match the energy to the genre — lo-fi soft pans, hip-hop dramatic angles, pop bright saturated energy.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

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

  5. Use across streaming and social campaigns

    Download the MP4. Run it as a paid Meta ad, Instagram story, TikTok promo, or YouTube pre-roll. Overlay the release date or pre-save link in your ad platform. Commercial use is included.
