Use case

Video ad builder

Genyad is a video ad builder that starts from a brief rather than from a blank timeline: it writes the script, selects shots from your indexed footage, generates the voiceover, burns in captions, designs the call-to-action card and exports per placement. One credit per finished variation.

How to do it in Genyad

Upload footage once and let it index.
Write a brief: product, audience, language, duration, offer.
Generate. Each variation arrives as a finished, exportable ad.
Fix anything small in the editor rather than regenerating.
Export the ratios you buy and upload to your ad platform.

What good looks like

Step	Who does it here	Typical elsewhere
Script	Generated from brief and library	You write it
Shot selection	Generated from clip index	You scrub folders
Voiceover	Generated, timed to the slot	You record or buy it
Captions	Word-synced automatically	Auto-captions you clean up
CTA card	Designed per campaign	A template you edit
Per-placement export	Laid out per safe zone	Resize and nudge by hand

Mistakes that cost you the test

Treating it like an editor. If you find yourself hand-building each ad, the brief was too vague.
Briefing a feature list instead of an offer. The output will describe rather than sell.
Generating one ad. The value is in the set, not the single output.

Frequently asked questions

What does a video ad builder do?

At minimum it should handle script, shot selection, voiceover, captions, a call to action and per-placement export from one brief. Tools that only handle layout are editors, not builders.

Do I need editing skills?

No. The editor exists for corrections rather than for construction.

How much does one finished ad cost?

One credit. €29 buys 15 credits and €99 buys 65, and the free plan includes 5 variations with no card.

Can I start from a template?

There are no templates. Ads are assembled from your footage against a brief, which is what lets two variations look genuinely different.
