MakeThisVid is an AI video maker for Google Ads that generates 8-second video clips — 1080p, with audio, commercial licensed — from a text prompt or product photo in under two minutes. The output is a ready-to-upload MP4 for YouTube pre-roll, Google Discovery campaigns, and Video Action Campaigns.

AI Video Maker for Google Ads

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Google Ads increasingly requires video creative across YouTube, Discover, and Display. YouTube pre-roll ads, Video Action Campaigns, and Discovery ads all perform better with video — but producing even a short video traditionally requires a full production workflow. That's a barrier for any advertiser testing new product lines, seasonal angles, or audience segments. MakeThisVid removes the production step. Every video is $2.99 — clean 1080p, no watermark, commercial use included. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Commercial use is licensed. The 16:9 MP4 uploads directly to Google Ads asset library for pre-roll, Discovery, or Display campaigns.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

YouTube pre-roll video ads

MakeThisVid's 8-second clips work well for skippable pre-roll, and can be trimmed down to 6 seconds for non-skippable YouTube bumper ads. Generate cinematic product scenes that hook in the first 3 seconds — the critical window before the Skip Ad button appears.

Performance Max asset groups

Google's Performance Max campaigns require video assets for full coverage across YouTube, Discover, and Display. Generate multiple video variations to give the algorithm diverse creative to optimize against.

Google Display video ads

Google Display accepts video ads across millions of partner sites. Generate product demos, lifestyle scenes, or brand moments as 8-second 1080p clips with audio — ready for Display placements without a production crew.
