Batch create video ad variations
Give Genyad one brief and it produces a batch of variations from your clip library, each with its own script, shot list, voiceover and captions, at one credit per variation. Most campaigns want 8 to 20 live at once, which is the range where automated placement systems have enough to choose between.

How to do it in Genyad
- Upload your footage once. Every clip is transcribed, described and tagged on the way in.
- Create a campaign with the product, audience, language, duration and offer.
- Ask for a batch. Each variation gets its own script and shot selection, not a re-cut of the same timeline.
- Review the batch and reject anything whose angle is wrong. Do not edit those, replacing them costs a credit.
- Fix the survivors in the editor, export each in the placements you buy, and ship the set together.
What good looks like
- Two variations in the batch share no footage. If they all open on the same clip, your library is too thin.
- The batch covers at least three different arguments, not three wordings of one.
- Every variation is under the length that placement rewards, which is usually well under the maximum allowed.
- You would publish at least half without editing. That ratio, not render speed, predicts your weekly output.
Creative diversity is what slows decay, not raw count. Twenty near-identical ads fatigue together. Our decay data is in the 2026 ad fatigue benchmark.
Mistakes that cost you the test
- Testing 20 variations against each other. Test the set against your current winner. Splitting budget 20 ways proves nothing.
- Shipping them one at a time. Automated placement campaigns need the set at once to have something to optimise across.
- Refilling only when performance dies. By then you have already paid for the decay. Refill on a schedule.
- Varying the trivial thing. A different font is not a variation. A different argument is.
Frequently asked questions
How many ad variations should I run per campaign?
8 to 20 live at once for an active campaign. Below 8 an automated placement system has too little to choose between; above 20 you are usually adding near-duplicates that fatigue together.
How much does a batch of variations cost?
One credit per variation. €29 buys 15 credits and €99 buys 65, and credits never expire. The free plan includes 5 variations with no card.
Can I generate variations in different languages in one batch?
Yes. Language is a campaign input, and the script is written natively in that language rather than translated afterwards.
How long does a batch take?
About a minute per variation on standard processing, faster on the Growth plan's priority queue.
