AI Video Ad Creator: Brief In, Ad Clip Out

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Most ad teams have the same problem: ad fatigue hits in five days, but it takes two weeks to produce the next batch. MakeThisVid breaks that loop. You can generate ten ad variations in an afternoon for less than the cost of a stock-footage subscription. No shoot, no talent fees, no editor backlog. Type the ad concept, pick vertical or landscape, and ship.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 6 or 8-second clip length and 9:16 / 16:9 aspect ratios match what Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X want for paid placements. The output is sized and timed for an ad slot — no trimming required.
Mention the brand name in the prompt and the model will incorporate it. For a clean wordmark overlay, finish the clip in your editor of choice — we generate the scene, not the lower-third.
The MP4 works on every major ad platform: Meta Ads (Facebook, Instagram, Reels, Stories), TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads (in-stream, Shorts, bumper), X Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Reddit.
Every clip is 6 seconds or 8 seconds long. 8s is the default for paid plans. 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.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
There is no free tier. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 pack, which gives you a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license — no subscription required. If a render fails for any reason, the credit is refunded automatically.
Most clips finish in 45–90 seconds. Peak times can push that to two minutes. You'll see live progress — no dead spinner.
Yes. Every paid plan and credit pack ships with a commercial-use license, including the $2.99 intro pack. Run it as a paid ad, embed it on a landing page, or hand it to a client.
Only the 3-second teaser preview shown before purchase has a watermark. Every downloaded clip on every paid plan is watermark-free.
