AI Video Ad Generator for Photography Studios

Photography studios compete on visual quality — but static social posts don't convey the warm, dynamic experience of a great session. A short video ad showing your studio setup, lighting quality, and environment builds trust before a prospect ever reaches out. MakeThisVid generates 8-second video ads from a photo of your studio or a prompt describing the session experience — ready for Facebook, Instagram, or Google in under two minutes.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a studio photo or write a scene prompt

    Use a photo of your studio space, lighting setup, or styled backdrop (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB). Or write a prompt describing the session mood, lighting style, and environment you want to convey.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animates your studio photo — slow push into your lighting setup, gentle drift across backdrops. Text → Video: generates a mood piece for a specific session type like newborn or headshots.

  3. Write a studio-specific motion prompt

    Highlight your distinctive setup. E.g. "Modern portrait studio, dramatic window light, clean white cyclorama wall, camera on tripod visible, professional and inviting, slow push forward." Or for newborn: "Soft warm wrap station, muted earthy tones, gentle morning light, slow drift, serene and intimate."

  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. Run your studio ad

    Download the MP4 and run it on Facebook, Instagram, or Google. Create a separate ad for each session type — headshots, portraits, newborn, events — without a separate production budget.
