AI Video Ad Generator for Shoe Brands

Footwear is a category where style and movement sell — and video captures both in a way that a flat product photo never can. MakeThisVid generates polished 8-second video ads from a shoe photo or text prompt in under two minutes. Show your sneaker in a clean studio reveal, your boots in an urban lifestyle setting, your running shoe on a track. Run on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube without a film crew or motion studio.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a product photo or write a scene prompt

    Use a clean shoe photo — studio shot, lifestyle, or detail (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB). Or describe the footwear in its aspirational context: urban streets, outdoor trail, editorial studio.

  2. Select your mode

    Photo → Video animates your shoe photo with cinematic motion. Text → Video generates a footwear lifestyle scene — ideal for brand storytelling and seasonal campaigns.

  3. Write a motion prompt for footwear aesthetics

    E.g., 'White sneaker on a clean white studio surface, slow 360-degree orbit, crisp clean light, premium minimal styling.' Or: 'Leather ankle boot on cobblestone street, urban autumn afternoon, slow cinematic pan up from ground level, moody editorial light.'

  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 on fashion and footwear platforms

    Download the MP4 and run on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Pinterest. Commercial use is included on every plan.
