Creating

Generate video ads

AI-produced short video ads from your product photos and a video preset.

Video generation builds a complete short ad (up to ~15 seconds) from your product imagery and a curated video preset. Unlike image generation, a video preset is required — it defines keyframes, motion style, and audio direction.

Requirements

  • Creator plan or higher — video generation is not available on Free.
  • A video preset — browse on Home or the generate flow; image presets cannot be used for video.
  • Product photo(s) — upload or pick from a store URL scrape.
  • 500 creative credits per new video job.

How a video job works

  • Planning — AdRoast understands your product and maps the preset pipeline.
  • Keyframes — still frames are generated to match the preset style.
  • Clips — motion is added to each keyframe segment.
  • Assembly — clips, transitions, and audio are stitched into the final MP4.
  • Progress shows in My Library and the sidebar active-jobs bell while running.

Simple vs advanced entry

  • Simple mode: Generate ads → choose Video → pick a video preset → add product → generate.
  • Advanced mode: dedicated Generate Video Ads page with full output settings (aspect ratio, etc.).
  • Regenerating a finished video costs 500 credits.

Plan note

Video ads up to 15 seconds are included on Creator, Pro, Studio, and Agency. Upgrade under Billing & credits if you see a plan gate.
