Ways to Create Your Video Ad: Which One to Pick

From a product link, your own photos, a description, or guided questions. Four ways to start, one agent that plans, generates and edits.

There is more than one way to start an ad on Artvizon. They all end in the same place: a cinematic video built by the AI agent. Here is which one fits your situation.

1. From a product link (the fastest)

Paste a URL from Shopify, Amazon, AliExpress, eBay or thousands of other stores. The agent reads your title, description, price and images, then plans the ad.

Pick this when: your product is already online. It is the shortest path, and the only input is the link.

2. From your own photos

Upload the product photos you already have. The agent reads them, asks only what it still needs, and builds the brief.

Pick this when: your listing is thin, your page is not public yet, or the photos on your store are not the ones you want in the ad.

Tip: a photo of the product alone works better than a photo with a person in it. Automated content checks on video models often decline photos showing people.

3. From a description

No link, no photos, just an idea. Describe the product and the agent takes it from there.

Pick this when: you are testing a concept, a pre-launch, or a product you do not stock yet.

4. Guided

Answer a few questions and the agent handles the rest. Good if you would rather be asked than write a brief.

Which one gives the best result?

The link and the photos give the agent the most real material to work with, so they usually win. A description works, but the agent is imagining your product instead of seeing it.

Whichever you pick, you get the same planning: hook, benefit, call to action, chapter by chapter, and the exact cost shown before you confirm.

Start with your product link

What each route gives the planner

It helps to know what the agent is actually working from in each case, because that is what decides the quality of the plan.

From a link, it has your title, your description, your images and often your price. That is the richest input, and it is why the link route usually produces the most specific ad: the plan can reference something true about your product rather than something generic about its category.

From photos, it has the images and whatever you tell it. Strong on the visual, thinner on the facts, so a sentence about what the product does is worth writing.

From a description, it has only language. The agent is imagining your product, which works for concept testing and less well for something you intend to sell tomorrow.

Guided is the same as the others underneath; the difference is only whether you write a brief or answer questions.

Mixing routes

These are not exclusive. The most common productive combination is a link plus one correction: paste the URL, then tell the agent the store description is out of date and give it the right sentence. The importer supplies the images and the structure, you supply the accuracy.

Similarly, if your store photographs are not the ones you want in an ad, paste the link and upload a better image over the top.

A note on cost while you are choosing

None of these routes costs more than another. What changes the price of a generation is the model, the duration and the resolution you pick afterwards, and the exact figure is shown before you confirm. The €5 entry offer produces one short video of about 12 seconds whichever route you took, so trying the one that fits your situation costs the same as trying any other.
