What this template is
A social ad video template for content creators is a reusable prompt structure that turns an existing asset — a clip, a product URL, or a photo — into a 15–30 second ad ready to post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or any short-form platform. ngram reads the asset, writes the hook and CTA, applies captions and voiceover, and exports at the right aspect ratio. You fill in the platform, the mood, and the offer; ngram handles everything else.
The template prompt
Copy it, swap the brackets, and paste it into ngram — or hit "Use this template" to open the editor with it prefilled.
Create a [duration]-second ad video for [platform] using [asset]. The ad is for [what-you-sell] aimed at [audience]. Hook: [opening-line]. Tone: [tone]. End with: [cta-line]. Use [narration] and export at [aspect-ratio].
| Slot | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [duration] | Length of the ad | 30 |
| [platform] | Where it posts | TikTok |
| [asset] | Your source material — paste a URL or upload a clip | https://mystore.com/product/hoodie or uploaded clip.mp4 |
| [what-you-sell] | Product, service, or creator brand being advertised | a limited-edition streetwear drop |
| [audience] | Who you want to reach | streetwear fans 18–28 |
| [opening-line] | The first line or question that grabs the viewer | Still paying full price for drops that sell out in minutes? |
| [tone] | Visual and voice feel | cinematic, dark, high-energy |
| [cta-line] | What the viewer does next | Link in bio — drops Friday |
| [narration] | Audio treatment | AI voiceover |
| [aspect-ratio] | Output format matching the channel | 9:16 vertical |
How the 30-second ad is built
Four beats — the shape that most creator ad prompts converge on.
- 1
Hook
5sOpen on the strongest frame from the uploaded asset or a text hook that names the tension. No logos yet.
- 2
Product or offer reveal
12sCut to the asset: the clip, the product in motion, or key frames pulled from the URL. Ngram applies Photomotion to stills and smart zooms to footage.
- 3
Social proof or benefit beat
8sA single line naming the outcome or the scarcity. On-screen text, matched to the tone.
- 4
CTA
5sClose on the call to action — link in bio, swipe-up prompt, or product tag — with the creator's brand mark.
Adjust it to your platform
Duration
15s for paid feed ads; 30s for organic Reels and TikTok posts.
Narration
AI voiceover for TikTok native feel, captions-only for muted Instagram feeds.
Style
Cinematic for fashion and lifestyle; UGC-style for raw social-first content.
Aspect ratio
Match the channel before generating so the ad posts without cropping.
Common variations
15-second paid ad
Drop the social-proof beat; keep the hook and CTA tight for paid TikTok or Meta placements.
Reduce to 15 seconds. Keep the hook and the CTA only. No benefit beat.
UGC-style organic cut
For content that should look user-generated, not produced — native scroll-stop energy.
Use UGC-style visual treatment. No polished motion graphics. Handheld feel, casual voiceover.
Multi-product teaser
When you have three products or SKUs to show, stack them as a quick cut sequence before the CTA.
Add a quick-cut product montage between the hook and the CTA. Show [product-2] and [product-3] for 2 seconds each.
Captioned silent cut
For Instagram Reels and LinkedIn where feed autoplay runs muted.
Remove voiceover. Use large, centered captions and background music only.
