How to make an ad for your app
Paste your app's link into Vizard Agent and attach a screen recording. Vizard Agent cuts the waiting and the fumbling, zooms in where the product actually does something, writes a script around what it sees and returns a finished ad. Have no recording? It can capture the product screens itself from the link.
What is the short version?
Three moves, and the second one is optional. A software ad normally stalls between two people — someone records the product, someone else decides which twelve seconds of it are worth showing. Vizard Agent does both from the same request, so what comes back for review is a cut ad rather than a folder of raw capture.
- Go to Vizard Agent and paste the app link.
- Attach a screen recording if you have one, and say where the ad will run.
- Watch what comes back, and reply in plain language to change it.
The rest of this page is what goes into each of those, and where the approach stops working.
What do you need before you start?
The link, and a decision about where the ad is going. A recording helps but is not required — Vizard Agent can capture the product screens itself, which is the difference between "we need to book someone to record a demo" and "we have an ad this afternoon". What decides the result is how much of the product is actually visible.
- A reachable app. A product behind a login is one Vizard Agent cannot walk through on its own. Record it yourself and attach the file.
- A recording that shows the good part. If you record, capture the moment the product pays off, not the settings page. Length does not matter — dead time gets cut.
- A destination. "For LinkedIn" and "for TikTok" produce different edits: different aspect ratio, different opening seconds, different pace.
- One claim you want made. Optional, but an ad that argues one thing beats an ad that lists six features.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Vizard Agent ships this as a template. The link is the only required input — and it is worth adding one more clause yourself: where the footage comes from. Attach your own screen recording, or say nothing and Vizard Agent records the product screens itself.
Prompt
Three variants worth keeping:
When the product needs a login
When you know the argument
When you want the feature, not the tour
What are the steps inside Vizard Agent?
Three, and none of them is a storyboard. Vizard Agent watches the recording, decides which moments carry the product, writes the script around those, then cuts, captions and scores it as one request — which is why the review happens on a finished ad rather than on a plan for one.
- Paste the link and attach the recording in the Vizard Agent chat.
- Pick the tier that matches the job. For anything commercial the product recommends Max; the free Flash tier is built for quick, simple edits.
- Reply with what you want changed. "Cut the first four seconds, start on the search box" is a valid instruction.
What does the result look like?
A finished ad in the aspect ratio you named, with script, voiceover, captions and music in place, and the screen footage cut so every second shows the product doing something. Vizard Agent keeps the assets it generated in the project, so a second version costs a sentence rather than another render from scratch.
It is not instant. Ads and promos made this way run a median of about 28 minutes end to end and about 82 credits, with the middle half landing between 15 and 47 minutes and between 48 and 251 credits. Longer recordings and more rounds push toward the upper end.
When does this not work well?
A software ad lives or dies on whether the product's value is visible on screen. Everything that disappoints here traces back to that — either the value is not visible, or the recording makes it hard to find. Six cases are worth checking before you spend the render.
- The product is mostly text. A tool whose output is a document or a table has little to show. Ads for these work better as narrated explainers than as screen demos.
- The recording is one long unbroken session. It still works — dead time gets cut — but a recording that never reaches a payoff has no payoff to cut to.
- Login walls and paid seats. Vizard Agent cannot sign in to your product. If the interesting part is behind auth, record it yourself.
- Tiny UI. Interfaces designed for large monitors can lose legibility when cropped vertical. Ask for fewer, tighter zooms rather than the full screen.
- Fast-moving or animated interfaces. Heavy motion in the UI plus a fast cut can read as chaotic. Ask for a slower pace.
- Claims you cannot make. Comparative and regulated claims are your legal team's business, not a generated script's. Read the copy before it runs as a paid ad.
If the product's value only appears after ten minutes of setup, no thirty-second ad rescues that — a longer walkthrough is the honest format.
How do you fix a result that came back wrong?
Reply in the same Vizard Agent conversation instead of starting over. The recording, the link and everything it already built are still there, so you never re-upload, and you are not billed again for work already done — only for what the new instruction costs. How much re-renders depends on what you change.
| What you see | What to say next |
|---|---|
| It shows the wrong part of the product | "Only show the editor, skip onboarding entirely" |
| The zooms are distracting | "Fewer zooms — hold wide except when the report generates" |
| The script oversells | Give the line: "say 'cuts reporting from an hour to a minute', nothing stronger" |
| Text on screen is unreadable | "Crop tighter on the panel instead of showing the whole window" |
| Wrong pace for the platform | "Make it 15 seconds and cut every pause" |
How does Vizard Agent compare to making it the usual way?
The usual route is record, review, script, edit, then grade and mix — and the review pass runs at real time, so a twenty-minute capture costs twenty minutes before any editing starts. Each stage waits on the one before it, which is why a simple product ad takes a week of calendar time rather than an hour of work.
| Vizard Agent | Record → script → edit | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting footage | Attach a recording, or let it capture the screens | Book time, record, re-record |
| Finding the good moments | Part of the same request | A full review pass at real time |
| Time to a first cut | About 28 min (half fall in 15–47) | Days, once everyone is scheduled |
| Cost of a second version | Another sentence | Another edit session |
| Ceiling on quality | Bounded by what the recording shows | Bounded by budget |
Neither replaces the other. Vizard Agent wins on speed and on volume — five variants for five audiences costs almost nothing — while an editor still wins when the ad has to match an existing campaign frame for frame.
Common questions
Can Vizard Agent record my product itself?
Yes, from the link, and it is the point of the second bracket in the prompt. It cannot get past a login, so anything behind auth has to be recorded by you and attached — mixing the two in one request is fine.
Does my recording need to be edited first?
No. Send the raw capture, including the parts where you are hunting for a menu. Removing dead time is part of the job, and trimming beforehand mainly risks cutting the moment Vizard Agent would have opened on.
Can I get versions for several platforms at once?
Ask for them in one instruction and say which platforms. The screen footage stays consistent across them while the aspect ratio, length and opening change, which is what makes the comparison worth anything.
Will it use my brand colours and font?
Say what they are — "captions in Inter, brand colour #1E3A8A, logo bottom right" — and Vizard Agent follows. Without an instruction it picks a readable default rather than guessing at a brand it has not seen.
Who is responsible for what the ad claims?
You are. Vizard Agent writes from your page and your footage, and both can be out of date. For comparative or regulated claims, treat the script as a draft that still goes past whoever signs those off.
