AI video editing tools can take you from a brief to a finished video ad in under an hour. On aidowith.me, the Reels & Short Videos route walks you through 10 steps to create video ad creatives using AI. You'll start with your product and target audience, then use AI to write an ad script with a strong hook, generate or source footage, edit clips together with transitions and text overlays, and export in the right format for Meta, TikTok, or YouTube. The route covers tools like Runway for footage generation, CapCut for editing, and ChatGPT for scripting. Each step handles a specific part of the ad production pipeline. You don't need a videographer, a studio, or expensive editing software. By step 10, you'll have a polished video ad exported and ready to upload to your ad platform. The whole process takes about 45 minutes per creative.

Questions
The route covers Runway for AI footage generation, CapCut for editing, and ChatGPT or Claude for scripting. You can swap any of these for alternatives you prefer. The workflow focuses on the process, not a single tool. If you already use Premiere or DaVinci Resolve for editing, the route adapts to that.
On platforms like Meta and TikTok, native-looking content often outperforms polished studio ads in engagement and conversion metrics. AI-generated creatives let you test more variations faster, which is how performance marketers find winners. The route focuses on direct-response ad formats where speed, iteration, and volume matter more than cinema-quality production values.
Most people finish their first ad in about 45 minutes following the full route. Once you have the workflow down, each additional creative takes 20-30 minutes because you reuse your targeting and script structure. A typical session produces 3-4 finished ads across different hooks and formats, enough to run A/B tests.
