What it covers

What your people will learn.

  • Marketing

A phone, a few photos of your product and a video generator are enough to make a short vertical ad for Instagram, Facebook or TikTok, with no crew, no studio and no presenter.

Most first attempts go wrong in one of two ways. A clip generated from a text prompt shows a product that looks like yours and is not, with a bent label and the wrong colour. Or a decent clip gets cut in the wrong shape, with text under the platform's buttons and no AI label, and the ad is rejected or ignored. Generators also return a different result every time, so a plan without a budget for retakes runs out of credits halfway.

This course keeps your real product in every shot that shows it. You plan the ad as five short shots, animate your own photos for every shot that shows the product, and generate only the mood shots around it. Each clip goes through a short check against the product on your desk before it is kept, and the cut follows each platform's vertical spec, safe zone and label rules.

You walk away with one finished product video ad uploaded on Meta or TikTok, and a shot plan you can run again for the next product.

Who it's for

Shop owners and makers: sell a physical product and want video ads without paying for a shoot.

Small-business marketers: run Meta or TikTok ads and need fresh video creative every few weeks.

Team members who make the ads: want a repeatable way to get AI clips that pass a platform's review the first time.
