What is an AI ad video generator?

It is a workflow for creating short ad video assets using prompts, product images, generated frames, and AI video clips. ShotSlate helps keep those assets connected in one project.

Can I make product ads with ShotSlate?

Yes. You can upload or generate product frames, animate them into clips, and assemble selected clips into an ad-style composition.

Does ShotSlate create voiceover or avatar ads?

No. The current workflow focuses on visual generation and composition, not AI presenters, lip sync, or voiceover production.

Can I make multiple ad ratios?

ShotSlate supports multiple image and video aspect ratios. Creators should plan and review each ratio for the intended placement.

Are generated ads ready to publish automatically?

No. Generated clips still need review for accuracy, product details, claims, policy compliance, and brand fit.

Current product workflow

From ad concept to reviewed clip sequence

An ad video is more than a generated clip. It needs a hook, product focus, proof or benefit, ending frame, and format decisions. ShotSlate helps keep each generated clip tied to the source prompt or product image that created it.

01
Define the ad beat
Write the hook, product moment, benefit, visual style, and acceptance criteria before generating clips.
ShotSlate supports text notes and prompt context beside image, video, and composition nodes.
02
Generate ad clips
Use text-to-video for concept shots or image-to-video when a product photo or approved frame should anchor the ad.
Current video generation supports text-to-video and image-to-video modes with Seedance model settings.
03
Assemble and export
Move the selected hook, product, detail, and ending clips into a composition for review and export.
Composition clips support sequence order, trim points, mute state, preview, and export workflow.

Ad clip checklist

What to plan before generating AI ad video clips

This checklist keeps the ad page focused on campaign usefulness. It avoids pretending that one generation automatically creates a compliant, high-performing ad.

Need product-first ad clips?

If your ad starts from a product photo, use the product video page first.

Ad elementWhy it mattersPractical guidance

HookThe first clip must quickly show why the viewer should keep watching.Open with the product solving a visible problem in motion.

Product focusThe product or offer must remain visually clear throughout the ad.Use image-to-video when the product shape must stay anchored.

Benefit shotA good ad clip shows the outcome, not just a pretty visual.Show before/after, reveal, use case, or lifestyle payoff.

FormatAd placements need different ratios and safe compositions.Plan 9:16 for vertical ads and 1:1 for feed variants.

Brand safetyGenerated visuals need review before becoming paid media.Check product details, claims, text, logos, and category rules.

Ending frameA short ad needs a final moment that can carry a CTA outside the generated clip.End on the product hero frame or final reveal shot.

Limits to plan around

Ad video limits to state honestly

Generated ads still need review

Creators should check claims, product details, platform policy, legal requirements, and brand safety before publishing.

ShotSlate does not buy media or publish ads

The product focuses on generating and assembling creative assets, not campaign management or ad platform delivery.

No avatar or voiceover promise

This page should not imply AI presenters, lip sync, narration, or UGC workflows that the current product does not expose.
