Facebook Video Ad Creator: Make FB Video Ads with AI

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Facebook still moves real spend — and video ads outperform static creative in almost every category on Meta. The problem has never been the platform; it's been the cost of producing fresh creative. MakeThisVid turns one prompt into a polished 6-to-8-second video ad with audio, ready for Meta Ads Manager. The whole loop — write, generate, download, upload — takes under five minutes.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose input mode

    Text-to-Video: describe the scene, product, motion, mood. Photo-to-Video: drop a product image (JPG, PNG, WebP up to 10 MB) and add a motion prompt to direct the animation.

  2. Write for the Facebook Feed

    Facebook Feed rewards motion in the first frame. Static openings get scrolled past. Use action verbs — "pours", "zooms in", "transforms", "opens" — and name the subject concretely. Make the brand or product unmistakable by the second beat.

  3. Generate the clip

    Click Generate. The render takes 45-90 seconds. 720p costs 1 credit, 1080p costs 2 credits. Watch progress live — no dead spinner. If a render fails for any reason, the credit refunds automatically.

  4. Upload to Meta Ads Manager

    Download the MP4 and upload to Meta Ads Manager. Select Feed, Reels, or In-Stream placement. Commercial use is licensed on every plan — no extra steps.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Facebook Feed video ads

The highest-reach placement in Meta's inventory. MakeThisVid's 6-to-8-second 1080p clips fit the Feed's scroll cadence — short enough to complete, sharp enough to win attention.

Facebook Reels ads

Short, punchy clips for the Reels placement. The 6-to-8-second format matches Reels watch-through behavior.

Prospecting vs retargeting splits

Generate cold-audience creative (product-first, benefit-forward) and warm retargeting creative (social proof, urgency, return-customer offer) in the same session. One credit pack covers a campaign's worth of variants.

Local-service Meta campaigns

Local service brands — clinics, salons, studios, agencies — can produce ad creative without a photo crew. Drop a photo of your space or product, add a motion prompt, run the clip in a hyper-local Facebook campaign.
