Beats

Frame rate
30 fps
Complexity
moderate
Motion principle
Keep the action target spatially stable through the result reveal.

Use it when

You can supply a real before/action/after sequence from the product.

Pick another concept when

Only fictional UI concepts are available for a factual demonstration.

What you need

  • Clean UI crop or approved screen recording
  • Before/after state of a real product action
  • Optional verified numeric result
  • Headline and CTA

Keep this consistent

The viewer sees one action and its result; a counter is optional and must carry a real, approved value.

Build this ad in NodeTool

This concept ships with NodeTool as a mini app. It builds an editable 12-second vertical ad from your images, logo, and copy. AI can suggest options from a website to fill the fields with its copy and images. It uses no generated video.

Read how mini apps work, see AI for advertising for spots with generated shots, or cut the ad further in the AI video editor.

Copy budget

Word counts are a starting point. Keep required qualifications.

Adapt the format

9:16
Use the reference composition. Check placement overlays with the actual destination preview.
4:5
Reflow the composition into a wider canvas; increase useful media width and recheck every line break.
1:1
Reduce vertical gaps; keep a single dominant focal point and preserve the intended reading order.

Review the finished ad

  • The result follows the depicted action without an unexplained state jump.
  • Any metric has an approved source and an explicit context.
  • The final brand and CTA are fully settled and readable before export ends.

Watch out

  • Use only substantiated results in a published ad; an illustrated dashboard is a concept.
  • UI text should be actual or clearly simplified, never fabricated account data.

Fallback. Use two static UI state images with a wipe. Omit the counter unless a verified value exists.

Variations

  • 6 s: one action, one result, CTA.
  • Square: use a wide UI crop; vertical: focus on one row or card.
