MakeThisVid is an AI video maker for small businesses that generates 8-second video ads and content clips — 1080p with audio — from a text prompt or product photo in under two minutes. Commercial use is included on every plan.

AI Video Maker for Small Business

Small businesses need video to compete on social media — but most don't have a marketing team, a production budget, or time to learn editing software. MakeThisVid changes the math. Type a prompt describing your product, service, or brand moment — or drop a photo — and get a polished 8-second video with audio in under two minutes. Run it as a paid ad on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. Post it organically. Use it on your website. Commercial use is included on every plan, and the cost starts at under a dollar per clip.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits — no subscription required.

  2. Open the Create page

    Go to makethisvid.com/create. Select Text → Video to describe your business's offer, or Photo → Video to animate a product shot, storefront photo, or service image.

  3. Write your business prompt

    Describe your product, service, or brand moment. Be specific: what are you selling, who is the customer, what does the scene show? E.g. "Coffee shop barista smiling, latte art pour, warm morning light, cozy atmosphere, camera push-in."

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Test multiple angles without a production budget.

    The MP4 works on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and your website. Commercial use is licensed. Run it as an ad or post it organically.
