AI Video Ads: Making Test Creatives Cheaply
Use AI video to produce multiple ad variations quickly and learn what resonates before spending big.
Use AI for volume, not magic
The edge in paid video is testing many hooks. AI tools let you produce several versions of a 15 to 30 second ad for the price of one traditional edit.
Change one variable at a time: hook, offer or call to action, so results are interpretable.
Structure of a short ad
Hook in two seconds, problem, solution, proof, call to action. Keep claims truthful and substantiated, since ad platforms and regulators scrutinize exaggerated or deceptive claims.
Avoid using AI-generated people to imply real endorsements.
Platform specs
Check current length, ratio and file-size limits for each placement. Export multiple ratios from one project where your tool supports it.
Budget the test
Set a small daily budget, run each variant long enough to gather meaningful data, and cut losers. Scale only the winner.
