MakeThisVid generates SaaS video ads from a text prompt or product screenshot — 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p MP4s with audio, ready for Meta Ads, LinkedIn Sponsored Content, YouTube TrueView, and X / Reddit promoted creative. Commercial use is licensed on every paid plan.

Video Ad for SaaS Apps: Software Ads with AI

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

SaaS ad creative on LinkedIn and Meta tends to fall into two buckets: a screenshot of a dashboard with an arrow pointing at a feature, or a long explainer video that took the team a month to produce. The first is boring; the second is slow. Neither matches the cadence of paid acquisition, where you need fresh creative every week to keep CAC down. MakeThisVid generates 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p atmospheric and lifestyle clips — a focused workspace with a laptop running your app, a slow zoom on a clean dashboard mockup, a hand drawing a wireframe in calm morning light — that pair with your value-prop copy without burning a producer's time. Use Photo → Video on your product screenshots to add motion, or Text → Video for B2B workspace and outcome scenes.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

LinkedIn Sponsored and Meta B2B retargeting

Landing page hero video

Embed a 6-second motion clip above the fold on your marketing site. Time-on-page and trial-signup lift over static hero imagery.

Feature-launch and category-page creative

Spin up motion creative for every feature launch or category page. Per-page hero motion without a producer's time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. MakeThisVid generates 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p SaaS and B2B software ads from a text prompt or product screenshot. Download the MP4 and run on Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Reddit, or embed on your marketing site.
Yes. Switch to Photo → Video, upload a screenshot of your product (mockup on a laptop or monitor works best), and add a gentle motion prompt — "slow camera push toward laptop," "morning light shifts across desk." The AI animates the scene without distorting the UI heavily.
Photo → Video preserves the static UI as the reference and animates context (lighting, camera, ambient motion). For pixel-perfect UI animation, overlay your real product screen recording on the AI-rendered background motion in CapCut or After Effects.
Calm, focused, professional: laptop on minimalist desk, second monitor mid-meeting, whiteboard with wireframes, morning light through office windows, hand-drawing a workflow. Avoid "team celebrates a deploy" — generic group scenes look uncanny in 6 seconds.
Generate atmospheric "after" scenes (calm, organized, focused) for your product side. Pair with copy that does the explicit comparison. The AI motion sells feel; your copy sells the comparison.
