Yes. Pick 9:16 aspect ratio, generate. The MP4 uploads directly to Google Ads as Shorts-feed inventory. Audio is included and rendered into the file.
Our output caps at 8 seconds, so a single clip doesn't fill a 15s or 30s slot on its own. For longer in-stream ads, generate multiple clips and stitch them in your editor — or run them as 6-second bumpers, which often outperform longer formats anyway.
Every video is 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.
