Video creation kit

Found in Ads Manager, you simply choose between single video or slideshow and then choose from one of four templates – you can even go vertical if you’re creating content for Stories. You just need to have an understanding of your business goals and what you want to achieve with your ad. You can choose from the following templates:

Promote a product (6 seconds): Focus on a key product to generate interest and sales
Sell multiple products (6 seconds): Show a selection of products, promote a special offer and drive sales
Show product benefits (15 seconds): Highlight product features, use case studies or explain how a product works
• Drive product discovery (15 seconds): Bring your brand to life and share what makes your product unique

Once you’ve chosen your template, Facebook uses its Video Creation Kit to create thumb-stopping content for you. Simple and effective!
