How to turn a product URL into an AI ad video
A product URL is a starting point for an ad brief, not a finished commercial. In VideoAnt, extract and verify the product details, plan your openings for free, then review a separate credit quote before generating a concept clip.
Start with a public product page
Use an HTTPS product page that describes a specific item, its use and its benefits. Pages behind a login, CAPTCHA or access restriction may not work. A store homepage may contain too little information about an individual product.
If extraction fails, use the product idea entry to fill in the brief manually. Avoid private account pages, order details or URLs containing personal information.
1. Paste the URL and verify the brief
Choose Product URL on the homepage, paste the address and start extraction. Review the product name, description, benefits and audience, then correct anything inaccurate. Product-link analysis is free.
Check prices, materials, use cases and performance claims carefully. A page may include an expired offer or an exaggerated claim. Extracting a statement does not verify that it is true.
2. Plan three distinct ad openings
After confirming the brief, choose one audience, one use case and one main benefit. Give each opening a different angle rather than simply changing adjectives.
- Problem first: show a relevant frustration before introducing the product.
- Demonstration first: start with a concrete action or use case.
- Outcome first: show the desired experience without making unsupported promises.
3. Review the format and quote before generation
Choose landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16 for your intended placement. Both formats currently support video generation; square plans do not yet support actual generation.
An ad plan includes three openings and a 15-second storyboard. The current generated output is a single-shot, five-second, 480p concept clip. The storyboard duration is not the output duration. Check the selected version and the credit quote shown in the interface before confirming each generation.
What should you check in the result?
Compare the subject, action, orientation and visual direction with your brief. This workflow does not guarantee exact reproduction of product images, logos, packaging text or people. Images extracted from a product page are not necessarily used as precise image conditions for generation.
Use the concept clip to assess a direction. Before advertising, review permissions and product claims and complete any editing, captions, voiceover or other production work you need.
Common questions
Does a failed extraction use video credits? Product-link analysis is free. Video generation is a separate confirmation step. Failed generation tasks are handled through the task refund process; check your project and account credit history.
Can I start without a URL? Yes. Enter a product idea manually or choose a creative template, then complete the brief before planning your ad.
