Instagram Reels Ads

Reels ads should look like content, not like ads

Turn a product photo into a vertical Reels video that feels native — script, visuals, music, and subtitles in one flow. IG users swipe past anything that reads like an ad.

The reality of advertising on Reels

  • 9:16 full screen, and the UI eats your frame

    Captions automatically keep to the bottom safe zone, since the account name, caption, and music bar cover the lower edge of a Reel — the layout leaves room so key info isn’t hidden.

  • Native beats polished

    The script engine supports both a real-user testimonial tone and a brand-image tone, so the output feels native. Over-produced creative underperforms on Reels; content that looks self-posted is watched longer than a polished ad.

  • Music is half of a Reel

    The scoring engine generates original music to your script’s rhythm and delivers it with the output — no commercial-music licensing to wrestle with. Music is half the Reel, and rhythm is what holds viewers.

  • 15–30 seconds is the sweet spot

    Scripts stay inside the short-video attention window, each storyboard segment mapped to per-second visuals. Too long drags completion, too short can’t land the pitch — the right length delivers message and CTA before the swipe.

Frequently asked questions

How are Reels ads different from regular IG post ads?

It’s the placement. Reels is a 9:16 full-screen slot distributed on completion and engagement, so creative must look like content — NEXT U’s vertical video fits it, with captions clearing the UI and short-video pacing.

Can I make an “unboxing by a real person” style?

Yes. Scripts support a real-user testimonial tone, and the character and scene are AI-generated, so you can make unboxing or try-on style content without recruiting anyone to film.

Will the music infringe copyright?

No. The music is AI-generated to your script and delivered with the output rather than a licensed existing track, which avoids commercial-music licensing issues and is safe to run in ads.

How is it priced?

Pay-as-you-go, no monthly fee. 1 credit = US$0.01, each item is metered as you generate, credits are shown first, only successful runs are charged and failures auto-refund, and credits last 90–365 days.

Can one video serve both Facebook and Instagram?

Yes. The MP4 is universal, so one video runs on both Facebook and Instagram; the ad copy is produced per platform to fit each audience without compromising either.
