How to make a video ad in 10 minutes (step by step)
To make a video ad quickly, write a short brief (product, audience, one promise, call to action), choose the format for where it will run (9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 4:5 or 1:1 for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube), add your logo and product images, and let an AI video ad generator such as AdHub write, animate and render it. With AdHub this takes about 10 minutes and costs from $5.

How much does a video ad cost in 2026?
A short (15–30 second) video ad typically costs from a few dollars with an AI video ad generator, around $100–800 with a freelance editor or motion designer, and $1,000 to $5,000 or more with an agency. The right choice depends on how many ads you need: if you test new creatives every week, per-video cost matters more than for a one-off brand film.
