AI Commercial Maker: Generate Video Commercials with AI

Commercial-quality video used to require a production company, a shoot day, and a post-production timeline measured in weeks. MakeThisVid collapses that to a single prompt. Describe the scene — the product, the moment, the feeling — and our AI renders a polished 8-second clip with full audio in under two minutes. Ready for streaming pre-roll, CTV, and social placements that expect broadcast-level visual quality.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Frame your commercial concept

    Commercials communicate a brand story in seconds. Identify: the hero subject, the core emotion or transformation, and the visual setting. An 8-second commercial works best when it says one thing perfectly.

  2. Choose your input: prompt or photo

    Text → Video: describe the commercial scene in detail. Photo → Video: use a product photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) as the hero element and describe the scene around it.

  3. Write with broadcast precision

    Commercial aesthetics demand high production signals: cinematic camera movement, controlled lighting, precise action. E.g. "Sweeping aerial shot of coastline at dawn, product placed on a wave-smoothed rock, slow push-in, warm sunrise light, orchestral swell audio." Be specific.

  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 media buy

    Download the MP4 and upload to your streaming pre-roll, CTV DSP, YouTube Ads, or social platform. Commercial use is licensed on every plan — broadcast-ready without legal overhead.
