Making ads

Each AI shot is 3 to 10 seconds long. A full ad is several shots played one after another, from 5 seconds up to 2 minutes. A short video is usually a single shot.

Tell Ask Render the length you want, like “make it a 30-second ad”. It shows you a new plan and its price before anything is made.

Video costs about 20 credits a second, so a 30-second ad is about 600 credits.

Put them side by side on the timeline at the bottom of the editor. Drag the first clip onto the timeline, then drop the second one right after it. When you press “Download”, they come out as one video.

For a smoother change between them, right-click a clip and choose “Create AI Transition”. Or just ask Render, in the chat on the right, to put them together.

Yes. Paste it into Ask Render, the chat on the right, and say “use my script word for word”. It keeps every word and won't shorten it without asking you.

A narrator reads your words exactly. A person talking on camera says your words, but the AI decides how they say them.

You can also type a script in the “AI Voiceover” tab.

It depends on who's speaking.

• The narrator (a voice over the pictures): tell Ask Render “re-record the voiceover with this script: …”. Only the sound is redone, and the video stays.
• A person talking on camera: the video AI speaks the line, and a long line gets rushed or cut off. About 28 words fit in a 10-second shot. Ask for a shorter line, or for the line to be split over two shots. That's a new take, charged like new footage.

Ask Render in the editor’s chat, like “same words, a warmer woman's voice” or “make the narrator British”. Only the voice is redone; the words and the video stay.

Or open the “AI Voiceover” tab and click “Voice” to browse voices by language and gender, then press “Generate” (5 credits a take).

For a person on camera, you can ask for another accent or another presenter, but that films the shot again.

Render can learn your voice and read your ads in it. Two ways to give it your voice:

• Settings → “Your face and voice”: record yourself reading the lines shown, or upload a recording.
• In a video's “AI Voiceover” tab: click “Voice”, then “Clone a voice”.

Then pick your voice under “Your voices” and press “Generate”, or tell Ask Render “narrate in my voice”.

Your voice works for narration. People speaking on camera use the video AI's voice.

Yes. Go to Settings → “Your face and voice” → “Upload a photo” (clear, facing the camera, just you), tick the permission box and press “Save photo”. Then tell Ask Render “put me in the ad”.

Expect a close resemblance, not an exact copy. When you appear on camera, the video AI does the talking. Your own voice can narrate instead.

Photo won't save? Tick the permission box, and use a JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC photo under 8 MB. Only the account's owner can add one.

• Add it in Brand Kit → Products → “Add a product”, with photos. Then pick it with “Select product” above the chat.
• Or click “Add photos” in the chat box, or drag photos onto the chat (up to 8 photos, 8 MB each).

Photos from two or three angles keep it accurate. In a filmed scene your product will look close, but shapes and labels can drift. For an exact look, ask Render in the chat to show your photo itself as a shot.

Yes. In the editor, open the “Uploads” tab on the left and press “Upload”, or drag files in: videos, pictures, music or other sound. Then drag a file onto the timeline. Your own files cost no credits.

Add your logo to Brand Kit once (“Upload logo”) so every ad can use it. Use a PNG or JPG; SVG files aren't accepted.

Render works on a computer, so move them from your phone to your computer first (for example by emailing them to yourself or with your phone's photo app).

Then open your project, go to the “Uploads” tab and press “Upload”, or drag them in. iPhone photos and videos work.

New videos start tall (9:16), which suits Reels, TikTok and Shorts. To change the shape, use the size menu under the preview: 16:9 (YouTube, websites), 9:16, 1:1 square, 4:5 (Instagram feed), 4:3 or 3:4.

Pick the size before you generate. Your download comes out in that size, and you can use it anywhere, your website included.

Open the “Captions” tab in the editor and press “Generate captions”. Render listens to your ad and writes timed captions; click a line to fix a word. Or tell Ask Render “add captions”.

For other words, like a price or a phone number, use the “Text” tab. Captions and text are free and come out exactly as you type them.

Yes. To make everything in another language, open Brand Kit, click “Edit” on your business and set “Language” under “Voice and look”. Your ads, posts and emails are then written in it.

For one ad, just ask in the chat, like “make the narration in Spanish”. Voiceovers come in more than 30 languages.

• AI Images: pictures without words, like your product in a scene.
• AI Graphics: anything with words on it, like offers, prices and posts. The words come out exactly as typed, in your colors and with your logo.
• AI Animations: moving text, your logo and end cards.

Each costs 15 credits per version. They come with Pro and Ultimate. AI Videos come with every plan.

• Fill in Brand Kit: your website, products with photos, key messages, what customers say, and rules (what to always or never say). Upload your logo file.
• In the editor, pick your business with “Select business” and your item with “Select product”.
• In the chat, say who it's for, the offer, the feeling and the length.
• If none of the ideas fit, say what's off and you'll get new ones. Changing the plan is free.

Yes. You own what Render makes for you and can use it for your business anywhere: ads, social posts, your website, your store, email and print, with no royalties, even after your plan ends.

Two limits: don't sell the music or voices on their own, and don't present AI actors as your real customers, staff or experts.
