MakeThisVid doesn't use slideshow templates — every video is generated from your prompt. What we offer instead are proven prompt patterns: hook structures, product-shot framings, and scene blocks that consistently produce ad-ready 6-second 720p clips or 8-second 1080p clips with audio.

AI Video Ad Templates: Prompt Patterns That Convert

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Most "video ad template" tools give you a kinetic-text overlay on stock footage. Swap your logo, swap your tagline, ship. The problem is that the result looks like everyone else's. MakeThisVid takes a different shape. You bring a prompt — or one of our prompt patterns — and we render a brand-new scene from scratch. No two outputs look the same. The "template" is the prompt structure, not the visual.

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).

  2. Open the Create page

    Go to makethisvid.com/create. You'll see Text → Video and Photo → Video modes. Pick whichever matches the input you have.

  3. Write your prompt

    Describe the scene in one or two sentences. Name the subject, the setting, the mood, and any visual detail that matters. The more specific the prompt, the better the output.

  4. Generate the video

    Click Generate. Our AI renders a 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p clip with audio in 45–90 seconds. Watch the live progress bar.

  5. Download the MP4

    Download an MP4 with commercial-use license included. Upload to wherever it needs to go — paid ads, your site, a social post, a client deliverable.

Agencies maintaining creative consistency

Frequently Asked Questions

Not in the slideshow sense. The Create page shows a starter prompt and example prompts for popular categories. Use any of them as a base; edit the specifics.
Today, your last generations are listed in your account so you can re-render with variations. A formal saved-prompt library is on the roadmap.
Close, but not identical — the model produces a fresh render each time. That's a feature for ad testing: same prompt, generate three, pick the best variant.
720p clips are 6 seconds; 1080p clips are 8 seconds. We don't generate longer durations — pick a tight scene and a clear visual idea and you'll get more out of each render than you would from a stretched-out template clip.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
There is no no-cost tier. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 pack, which gives you a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license — no subscription required. If a render fails for any reason, the credit is refunded automatically.
Most clips finish in 45–90 seconds. Peak times can push that to two minutes. You'll see live progress — no dead spinner.
Yes. Every paid plan and credit pack ships with a commercial-use license, including the $2.99 intro pack. Run it as a paid ad, embed it on a landing page, or hand it to a client.
No paid render has a watermark. Every downloaded clip on every paid plan is watermark-free.
