Product ads, social reels, explainers — AI video tools can now generate all of them from a written description. No camera, no editing timeline. Here's the process, a starter prompt, and the tools we recommend.
One sentence: what should this video make someone do — buy, follow, visit, understand? A 15-second ad and a 2-minute explainer are built completely differently.
What's on screen, in what order, and the mood (energetic, calm, premium). If it's for a product, note the product name and how it should appear.
Start with our Best Choice. Paste the prompt, fill in the brackets, and generate a first clip.
AI video works best in 5–10 second clips. Generate several takes, keep the best, and regenerate only the weak parts — don't try to get one perfect long take.
Stitch your best clips, add text overlays and music (most tools below have this built in), and export in the size your platform needs — vertical for reels, horizontal for YouTube.
Create a [length]-second video for [product / business / topic]. Scene: [describe what's on screen — e.g. "a can of orange soda on a dark surface, juice splashing around it in slow motion"]. Mood: [energetic / calm / premium / playful]. Style: [realistic / cinematic / 3D animated], high quality, smooth motion. No text or logos in the video — I'll add those myself.
