AI video ads for brands, made with generative AI
An AI video ad is a commercial whose scenes are generated by AI models rather than filmed on set. We write the script, generate and select the shots, edit, add sound and prepare versions for each platform. That gets you a commercial without a shoot day — as long as you don’t need to show a real product or real people exactly.
AI video or a live shoot: which to choose
Anyone can generate a beautiful frame today. The hard part is a video where the scenes share one style, a character doesn’t change face from shot to shot, and within 15 seconds it is clear what is being sold and what the viewer should do. So most of the work isn’t in generation but in the script, shot selection, editing and sound.
An AI video works well for social and display ads, sale announcements, teasers, testing several creatives, atmospheric scenes and anything that is expensive or impossible to film: other cities, other eras, fantasy worlds. It is a weaker fit when you need to reproduce packaging, an interior or a specific person’s face exactly: that is possible, but it takes more iterations and costs more.
If the product must look on screen exactly as it does on the shelf, it is more honest to start with conventional video ad production and use AI for backgrounds, transitions and extra versions. We will tell you which route is cheaper for your task after the brief.
When you need it
- You need a commercial for a sale launch, but there is no budget or time for a shoot day.
- You want to test several creatives in your ads and keep the one that works.
- You need a scene that is hard or impossible to film: another country, the past, a fantasy world.
- You have one video and need to adapt it to different platforms and formats.
- You have tried generating video yourself, but the result looks like an AI demo, not an ad.
What’s included
- An idea and script for the task and the platform: what the viewer sees and what they should do.
- A storyboard and a consistent visual style before generation starts — on levels above Quick launch.
- Generation and selection of scenes, with shots refined where needed.
- Editing, music, sound effects and captions.
- Versions for each platform: vertical, horizontal, square — in the volume of the package.
- Files ready for ad accounts and social media.
Pricing
- Quick launch$300–500
A 10–15 second video: a few simple scenes, editing and sound.
- Business growth$800–1,500
A 20–40 second video: script, storyboard, a consistent style and versions for each platform.
- Custom project$2,000–5,000+
Complex characters, dialogue, exact reproduction of the product, more scenes and approval rounds.
The price is per video and depends on how complex the shots are, not just on length: ten seconds with a talking character cost more than thirty seconds of landscapes. The ad budget for showing the video is paid separately. We give an exact quote after a brief.
How we work
01. Brief
We learn about the product, audience, platforms and what the video needs to achieve, then propose a level and format.
02. Script and storyboard
We agree the story, style and key frames before generation — that keeps revisions cheaper.
03. Generation and editing
We generate and select the scenes, edit, and add music, sound and captions.
04. Revisions and versions
We make revisions within the agreed rounds and export versions for each platform.
We haven’t published AI video ad case studies on the site yet.
Frequently asked questions
How do you create a video ad with AI?
Start with the script: who the viewer is, what they should understand in the first seconds and what they should do at the end. Then come the storyboard, generating and selecting scenes, editing, sound and versions for each platform. Generation is only one of the stages.
Can I make an AI video ad for free?
You can try the free plans of video generators, but they usually limit quality, video length and the number of attempts. Each service has its own terms for commercial use — read them before you run ads.
How much does an AI video ad cost?
With us — from $300–500 for a 10–15 second video with simple scenes to $2,000–5,000 and more for a video with complex characters, dialogue and exact reproduction of the product. We give an exact quote after a brief.
Can you show our real product in an AI video?
Yes, but reproducing packaging or a product exactly takes more iterations, so it belongs to the Custom project level. Sometimes it is cheaper to film the product live and create the surroundings and effects with AI.
How is an AI video different from a conventional video shoot?
You don’t need a location, lighting, actors or a shoot day, and the scenes can be anything. A live shoot, on the other hand, shows the product and people more accurately. The two approaches are often combined in one video.
How long is an AI video ad?
A short video for social media runs 10–15 seconds, a video with a story 20–40 seconds. Length affects the price less than the complexity of the shots.
