The short version

What a SaaS ad video is

A SaaS ad video is a short promotional clip — usually 15 to 60 seconds — built around a single hook, a product moment, and a CTA. Founders make them for Product Hunt launches, social campaigns, and paid ads. Each prompt below is real, normalized from an actual ngram session, ready to copy and adapt.

Copy one, fill in the brackets for your product, and generate.

Kinetic-typography launch reel

Featured

15 s vertical motion-type video for a vertical/mobile launch. High-energy launch-video aesthetic — built for immediate scroll-stopping impact.

15smotion-graphicsvertical/mobileurl
prompt

Create a 15-second kinetic-typography HTML animation for a voice AI platform with Arabic-first support. Fast kinetic-type launch aesthetic. 1080×1920 viewport. Each word should pop in on beat, build to the product name, then end on a short CTA with the product URL.

Story-brand SaaS promo

60 s before/after/future narrative for X/Twitter. Gives the viewer a reason to care before the product appears.

60sX/Twitterurl
prompt

Create a 60-second story-brand promo for my SaaS product. Structure: before (the pain), after (life with the product), future (what's possible now). Distribute to X/Twitter. Tone: confident but not salesy. Include the product URL in the final card.

No-code builder launch ad

30 s motion-graphics ad for an AI-powered no-code builder. URL-sourced — the brief hands ngram the product site and lets it pull the angle.

30surlmotion-graphics
prompt

Make a 30-second motion ad for a no-code app builder that uses AI to build full working apps from prompts and uploaded designs. Pull the product from the URL I'll attach. Audience: developers and technical founders. Keep the copy tight and end on the pricing CTA.

Problem-solution CTA Reel

30 s Instagram Reel with an explicit scene-by-scene arc. Great for niche SaaS products where the problem needs to be named before the product can land.

30sInstagramscreen-recording
prompt

Create a 30-second Instagram Reel for an Instagram automation tool aimed at food creators. Scene 1 (0–8s): the manual frustration. Scene 2 (8–22s): the tool handling it automatically. Scene 3 (22–30s): CTA — try it free. Use my screen recording for Scene 2. Add captions for autoplay. Energetic music.

Long-form pain-to-solution ad

90 s detailed walk through manual-entry pain → product solution. Works for workflow automation where the viewer needs to feel the problem before the fix lands.

90sscreen-recording
prompt

Make a 90-second ad for an invoice automation tool. Show the scene-by-scene arc: manual data entry, a mistake that costs time, then the automated version running cleanly. Use my screen recording for the product scenes. Narrate the pain in the first 30 seconds before the product appears.

Feature-showcase vertical ad

15–20 s vertical ad listing four product capabilities in sequence. Mobile-first, fast cuts — built for feed where attention runs short.

15sscreen-recording
prompt

Create a 15–20 second vertical video ad for a family organization app. Show four features in sequence: shared calendar sync, AI chore creation, gamification rewards, school schedule integration. Use my app screen recordings. Keep each feature beat to 3–4 seconds. End on the App Store download CTA.

Story-brand SaaS promo
prompt

Create a 60-second story-brand promo for my SaaS product. Structure: before (the pain), after (life with the product), future (what's possible now). Distribute to X/Twitter. Tone: confident but not salesy. Include the product URL in the final card.

01

Structure

Before/after/future is the tightest story arc for a 60-second ad. The viewer gets pain, resolution, and aspiration in a single viewing — nothing is wasted.

02

Inputs

A product URL is the only asset. ngram pulls the product copy, builds the script, and sources visuals from the page — no recordings or screenshots needed.

03

Tone

"Confident but not salesy" is a strong guardrail. It tells the model to avoid superlatives and hold a peer-to-peer register throughout.

04

Channel signal

"X/Twitter" shapes format and pacing — shorter captions, fast cuts, assumes autoplay. Naming the channel saves a round of editing after generation.

Why it works

The three-act structure means the product arrives exactly when the viewer has a reason to care. A URL-only brief keeps the asset list at zero while still giving ngram everything it needs to write and render the spot.

What makes a good founder ad video

Name the channel before generating

X/Twitter, Instagram Reel, and Product Hunt launch clips need different pacing and format. Drop the channel in the prompt so the script and aspect ratio are right from the start.

Lead with the problem, not the product

Sixty percent of prompts in this cluster attach a URL and let ngram pull the product angle. The briefs that land fastest open on the viewer's pain before the product appears.

Give the arc explicitly

Seventy-seven percent of these briefs are structured or scene-by-scene. "Before → solution → CTA" takes fifteen words and cuts most of the back-and-forth editing.

Motion graphics over stock for launches

Motion graphics showed up in 60% of briefs. For a launch ad with no footage yet, motion graphics produce something polished without relying on assets you don't have.

Keep it to one CTA

A Product Hunt launch, an App Store download, a free trial sign-up — pick one. Every example that works ends on a single outcome, not a list of options.

How it works

Make your own
