YouTube Ad Video Maker: Generate Bumper & Pre-Roll Ad Video

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

YouTube bumper ads are unskippable, 6 seconds, and ruthlessly attention-greedy — the creative has to land instantly. MakeThisVid generates an 8-second 1080p video with audio from a single prompt — trim it down in your editor for the exact 6-second bumper cut, or run the full 8 seconds as skippable in-stream pre-roll. From prompt to downloadable MP4 in under two 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, and tone. Photo-to-Video: drop a product image (JPG, PNG, WebP up to 10 MB) and add a motion prompt to animate the still.

  2. Write for the 6-second bumper format

    Bumper ads have no skip — every second counts. Open with the strongest visual hook, name the brand by second 2, deliver one clear message by second 5. Multiple beats fail; one clear beat wins.

  3. Generate the clip

    Click Generate. The render takes 45-90 seconds and produces an 8-second 1080p clip with audio. Broken renders are remade or refunded.

  4. Upload to Google Ads

    Download the MP4 and upload to your YouTube channel as an unlisted video, then attach it to a Google Ads video campaign. Choose Bumper Ad (6s) or Skippable In-Stream for pre-roll. Commercial use is licensed on every purchase — no extra steps.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

YouTube bumper ads (6 seconds, unskippable)

MakeThisVid's 8-second render covers the bumper format with room to spare — trim to the exact 6 seconds in any basic video editor, then upload and attach to a Google Ads bumper campaign.

Skippable in-stream pre-roll

Use the 8-second variant for skippable in-stream. The first 5 seconds before the skip button activates must do the work — open with a hook strong enough to pre-empt the skip.

YouTube Shorts ads

Shorts ads are short-form, full-screen on mobile. The 1080p output works as a Shorts ad creative once you re-crop or letterbox to 9:16 in your video tool.

Creative testing across hooks

Render multiple variations of the same brief, swap only the opening beat, and run them as separate ad creatives. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use.

Bumper ads are exactly 6 seconds (no skip). Skippable in-stream pre-roll can run from 12 seconds to several minutes but viewer drop-off after 5 seconds is steep — shorter wins.

For 6-second bumper ads, single-beat clarity wins. Open with the strongest visual hook, name the brand by second 2, deliver one clear benefit by second 5. Write the prompt as a single visual — a product close-up, a transformation, a satisfying motion — not a story sequence.
