MakeThisVid is an AI marketing video maker that turns a text prompt or product photo into a 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p MP4 with audio. Output is 720p or 1080p in 16:9 or 9:16, commercial-use licensed, ready to run as a paid ad on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, or anywhere else.

AI Marketing Video: Prompt to Shippable Ad in Under Two Minutes

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Marketing video used to mean booking a shoot, paying an editor, and waiting a week. For the bottom-of-funnel ads and weekly social refreshes most teams actually need, that timeline doesn't match the budget. MakeThisVid is built for marketers who need one tight clip on Tuesday and a different one on Thursday — type the scene, pick a resolution, download the MP4. The output looks made, not pulled off a stock site.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits), Standard ($49.99/mo, 30 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 60 credits). One-time packs from $2.99 (1 video) up to $259.99 (150 videos). Annual plans are billed at 10× the monthly price.

  2. Pick Text → Video or Photo → Video

    Text mode if you're describing a fresh scene. Photo mode if you have a product shot you want animated into a short clip. Both cost the same per credit.

  3. Write a concrete prompt

    Five-element formula: subject + setting + lighting + camera movement + tone. "Slow dolly-in on a stainless-steel coffee machine, soft morning kitchen light, warm tones, steam rising" beats "nice coffee video" every time.

  4. Generate in 45–90 seconds

    Click Generate. The AI renders a 6-second 720p clip (1 credit) or 8-second 1080p clip (2 credits) with audio baked in. Live progress bar, no dead spinner.

  5. Download and ship

    Download the MP4. Commercial use licensed on every plan. Upload to Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Campaign Manager — or post organically.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Weekly creative refresh

When the same ad creative starts to fatigue, generate three new variants over coffee Monday morning instead of waiting on the next shoot.

Landing page hero loops

Replace a static hero image with an 8-second looping clip. Pick a tight, visual scene that survives muted autoplay.

Email and lifecycle GIFs

Generate a clip, export the first 3 seconds as a GIF for an email hero. Higher click-through than a static product photo, no animator required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Just a generator. You type a prompt or drop a photo, you get an MP4. There's no timeline, no keyframes, no asset library. If you need stitching, color grading, or text overlays, do that in your existing editor after download.
720p clips are 6 seconds; 1080p clips are 8 seconds. The goal is tight, single-scene ad creative, not a long-form spot.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps in either 16:9 or 9:16. We don't offer 4K.
There is no no-cost tier. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 pack — one 720p clip with audio and a commercial use license, no subscription. If a render fails, the credit is refunded automatically.
From $1.33 per 720p video on the Pro plan ($79.99/mo, 60 credits) down to $2.00 per video on Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits). 1080p costs 2 credits. The starter pack is $2.99 for a single video.
Yes. Every plan and every pack — including the $2.99 starter — ships with a commercial-use license. Run them as paid ads, hand them to clients, post them anywhere. No watermark on downloaded clips.
Template makers stitch your text and logo into a stock clip. MakeThisVid generates a fresh scene from your prompt — no stock library, no shared visuals. The output reads as bespoke creative, not stocky.
The credit is refunded automatically. No support ticket needed. Most failures are content-policy related; rephrase the prompt and try again.
