Pinterest Video Ad Maker: Video Pins from a Prompt

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Pinterest is the lifestyle-intent surface most advertisers underuse. The audience plans purchases on Pinterest more than they discover them on other social platforms, which means video creative that reads as aspirational and warm — not aggressive or sales-y — outperforms the same clip running on TikTok or Reels. MakeThisVid is built for that aesthetic register: prompt → 8-second clip → Pinterest Pin or Pinterest Ad.

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. Pick 9:16 vertical

    Pinterest is mobile-first and vertical-led. 9:16 fills the screen. 16:9 works for ads but uses less of the visual real estate. Pick on the Create page before generation.

  3. Write an aspirational, lifestyle-led prompt

    Pinterest's audience scrolls for inspiration. "Morning light filling a quiet kitchen, hands cradling a warm ceramic mug, slow camera drift, soft pastel palette" outperforms an aggressive product-hero pitch.

  4. Pick resolution

    1080p (2 credits) for paid Pinterest Ads — the surface is image-heavy and your Pin competes on visual quality. 720p (1 credit) for testing organic Pin variants.

  5. Upload to Pinterest or Pinterest Ads Manager

    Organic: create a video Pin in the Pinterest app or web. Paid: upload as Video Pin creative in Pinterest Ads Manager. The audio is rendered into the file — safe for paid, no copyright flag.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Idea Pins for organic reach

Pinterest weights video Pins heavily in its recommendations. Generate weekly inspirational content tied to a category — home decor, recipes, fashion, beauty — and stay on a cadence.

Shopping Ads creative

Video Pins for product-led campaigns convert at higher rates than static Pins, especially in lifestyle categories. Generate a video variant for each top-selling SKU.

Seasonal campaign loops

Pinterest planning behavior is seasonal — holidays, weddings, back-to-school, summer travel. Generate a small batch of seasonal-context clips that share a visual signature.

9:16 vertical for organic feed and Idea Pins. 16:9 for ad placements where horizontal aesthetics fit the category. 2:3 (1000×1500) is Pinterest's static-Pin standard — MakeThisVid doesn't offer 2:3 video output, but 9:16 letterboxes acceptably in feed.
No. Audio is generated and rendered into the file — no copyrighted music, no third-party samples. Safe for paid and organic Pinterest.
Pinterest video Pins can run up to 60 seconds, but the platform's data points to under 15 seconds for completion. MakeThisVid's 6-8 second output works as both organic and paid creative.
