How to Create Your First AI Video Ad in 5 Minutes

You Don't Need a Production Team

Traditional video ad production involves photographers, videographers, editors, and weeks of coordination. With Soldy, you need one thing: your product.

Here's how to go from zero to a published video ad in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Add Your Product

The fastest way to start is to paste your product URL. Soldy supports:

• Shopify product links — we automatically pull product images, descriptions, and pricing
• Brand website URLs — we analyze your site to understand your brand identity
• Product photos — upload directly if you prefer
• PDF catalogs — drop a product PDF and we'll extract everything we need

Step 2: Review Your Brand Profile

Soldy's Brand OS automatically builds a brand profile from your input. This includes:

• Color palette
• Typography style
• Visual tone and mood
• Product positioning

You can review and adjust this before generating ads. This profile is saved and reused across all future ads.

Step 3: Choose Your Ad Direction

You have two options:

Let Soldy suggest — We'll generate 3-4 creative directions based on your product and brand. Each comes with a visual preview so you can compare.

Describe what you want — Tell Soldy in plain language: "I want a 15-second TikTok ad showing the product in a lifestyle setting with upbeat energy." Soldy handles the rest.

Step 4: Generate and Download

Click generate, and Soldy will:

1. Build a storyboard
2. Apply cinematic lighting and composition
3. Render your video ad in the format you need

Output formats include vertical (9:16 for TikTok/Reels), square (1:1 for feeds), and horizontal (16:9 for YouTube).

Step 5: Publish

Download your ad and publish directly to your ad platforms. Or generate multiple variations to A/B test different creative approaches.

Tips for Better Results

• Use high-quality product photos — Better input = better output
• Set up your Brand OS first — Consistency across ads builds brand recognition
• Try multiple directions — The best-performing ad is rarely the first one you'd pick
• Generate for specific platforms — A TikTok ad should feel different from a YouTube pre-roll
