How it works
From a short brief to a finished commercial
You stay in charge of the story. Nothing that costs money is made until you approve the storyboard.
-
Write a short brief
Say what your product is, who it's for, how long the ad should run, the tone and the call to action. Pick your AI presenters and their voices, and add your own product image or video if you have one.
-
Get a free storyboard
AI writes the shot list: spokesperson lines, narration, B-roll, product shots and an end card, with preview stills. Edit any line, reorder, add or remove shots, or have it rewritten.
-
Approve and pay
The storyboard shows the exact price for its finished length. Approve it and pay at secure checkout, or use commercial time you already have.
-
Every shot is made
Spokespeople deliver their lines, B-roll clips start from the preview still you approved, and stills get a slow push-in. Shots that fail are retried automatically and never counted.
-
Watch, reshoot, publish
It's cut together with voice, music, captions and your brand kit, and rendered in all three shapes. Reshoot any shot, edit the words, and download or share it.
What you get
A finished ad, not a pile of clips
Each commercial mixes the kinds of shot that suit your story, and arrives ready to post.

Questions
Commercials FAQ
What do I need to give you?
A short brief: what your product is, who it's for, how long the commercial should be, the tone, and the call to action and web address to end on. You pick the AI presenters and their voices, and you can add your own product image or video from your media library. There's nothing to film.
Is the storyboard really free?
Yes. The storyboard, its preview stills and a set number of rewrites cost nothing, and nothing that costs money is made until you approve it. You see the exact price for the finished length before you approve.
How is the price worked out?
By the finished length of the commercial, rounded up to the billing step, at the price per finished minute shown under Pricing. If you later edit it into a longer cut, the extra steps are billed before it renders.
What if a shot doesn't come out right?
Reshoot it. Change the description or the spokesperson's line and it's made again. About 3 reshoots per shot are included in the price; after that, a reshoot shows its price in credits before it runs. Shots that fail are retried automatically and never counted.
What if the commercial can't be made?
The time you paid for goes back to your commercial balance, ready for your next one. The same happens if you cancel while the shots are being made.
Can I run it as a paid ad?
The finished commercial is your content under our Terms of Service, and you can download it and publish it where you choose. You're responsible for how you use it: check it against each ad platform's own policies, make sure you have the rights to anything you add such as logos and product footage, and review the AI-written script and visuals before you publish. The Terms of Service have the details.
Do I need a plan or subscription?
No. Commercials are bought on their own, separately from video packs and plans. You need a howtovideos.ai account with a confirmed email address.
Can agencies make commercials for clients?
Yes. Start the commercial in your client's workspace so it uses their media and brand kit. Commercials never carry a howtovideos.ai watermark. See howtovideos.ai for agencies.
