Video ads

Generate a multi-scene video ad for a product, from a style or a reference video.

Adrio writes, shoots and edits short video ads. It plans the story, generates each clip with your product in it, and adds captions, titles and music. You get a finished ad, and you can keep editing it afterwards.

Before you start

  • Video lives in Advanced mode, which unlocks after your workspace makes its first batch of static ads.
  • Your product's photos are used in every scene to keep the product consistent, so add clear images first. See Products.
  • Video uses video credits, which are separate from image credits.

Character referenceUpload or link a photo of the person who should appear.

Video format options

OptionChoices
Video qualityRegular is faster. Premium is higher quality and costs about 3 times as much.
Video providers & modelsAutomatic by default. You can pick a primary model and two fallbacks.
Video length5 to 60 seconds, in 5-second steps. The default is 25. Longer videos use more credits.
Caption styleHow on-screen captions look.

Follow progress

The video appears on the project board straight away. Click it and choose View progress to see each clip as it's generated and assembled. Adrio checks the final render and fixes overlay problems, such as captions covering a title, before delivering it.

Change a finished video

  • Quick edits: in the video's sidebar, describe the change in Edit this video, for example "make the captions bigger" or "swap the second scene for a close-up". Adrio re-plans only what changed and reuses clips that stay the same.
  • Hands-on edits: click Edit video to open the video editor.
  • Download: click Download in the sidebar.

Turn a static ad into a video

Open a static ad's sidebar and use Animate. Adrio turns the image into a short video using video credits.
