AI video generation
Genyad can generate a clip from a text prompt or from a still image and add it to your library at 2 credits per second. It exists to fill gaps in real footage, an establishing shot, an impossible camera move, a product angle you never filmed, rather than to produce whole ads from nothing.

When generated video earns its place
| Situation | Use generated video? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Missing establishing or ambience shot | Yes | Nobody scrutinises 1.5s of context |
| Product angle you never filmed | Sometimes | Works from a still of the real product |
| Impossible camera move | Yes | Cheaper than a rig, and the audience expects style here |
| The product being used by a person | Rarely | Hands and packaging are where artefacts show |
| Testimonial or spokesperson | No | Use a real face or an avatar tool built for it |
| An entire ad, no footage at all | No | The result reads as generated, and performs like it |
What it costs, in practice
Generated video is 2 credits per second against 1 credit for a whole variation assembled from your own footage, which is a deliberate ratio: generative video genuinely costs far more to produce than an edit. A 5 second generated clip is 10 credits, a 10 second one is 20.
- Generate short. A 2 second insert is usually all a gap needs.
- Generate once, reuse forever. The clip lands in your library and later variations can pull it.
- Prefer image-to-video for anything product-specific, so the real product is the input.
How this differs from a prompt-to-video tool
A prompt-to-video product's output is the deliverable. Here it is an ingredient. The generated clip is indexed alongside your filmed material and competes with it for a slot in the next variation, which keeps the share of synthetic footage in a finished ad low enough that it reads as an ad rather than as a demo of a model.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AI video generation cost?
2 credits per second. A 5 second clip is 10 credits and a 10 second clip is 20. The free plan includes one AI-generated video of up to 10 seconds.
Can I generate video from a product photo?
Yes. Image-to-video is the better path for anything product-specific, because the real product is the input rather than a description of it.
Can I build a whole ad out of generated video?
You can, and we would advise against it. Generated footage works as an ingredient. A full ad of it reads as synthetic and tends to underperform ads that show the real product.
Does generated video get stored in my library?
Yes, it is indexed like uploaded footage and available to every later variation, so the cost is paid once.
