Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Product Video Maker tool:
- Share the product image, platform, campaign objective, audience, and brand guidelines.
- Ask ChatGPT to run `product-video-maker` with `create` to generate the ad creative.
- Request a performance brief explaining the hook strategy, effect choice, and expected scroll-stop mechanism.
- Package the clip and brief for creative review or upload to your ad platform.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Product Video Maker tool
Use product-video-maker to create a 9:16 Instagram Stories ad for this luxury face serum. Sparkle effect, cream background, premium tone. After generating, write a performance brief: what the hook is, why this effect fits the audience, and what KPI this creative is optimized for.
Tips
- Ask for a performance brief alongside the clip so media buyers and creative directors are aligned from the start.
- Have ChatGPT propose two effect options before generating and explain which one it would run first in an A/B test.
- Specify whether the ad needs a call-to-action frame at the end — some platforms require a static end card.
