Can Sizzledraft use photos from private Facebook posts?

No. The browser can only use content available publicly without passing Facebook's login wall. Private posts, restricted albums and posts that require an account cannot be captured. Keep the cover image, about text and strongest project photos public if you want them considered for the first video.

Should my Facebook page show one building project or several?

Either can work, but a single project with clear stages usually produces a more coherent timeline. If the page mixes extensions, renovations and new builds, make the project type clear in each public caption. For later videos, provide a prompt that identifies the service or job you want to feature.

Can the video use my building firm's Facebook branding?

It uses the visible profile image, cover photo and brand cues found on the public page to author the scene. Results are more consistent when your logo is legible, your cover image reflects your current work and your project photos use a recognisable visual style.

How much does it cost to make builder video ads?

The available options are $19 for two videos or $39 per month for eight. The first video is produced from the public Facebook page alone. Later videos can take a prompt, which is useful when you want separate ads for extensions, renovations, new homes or specific project timelines.

Show completed builds and project progress on video

This page explains how builders can turn a public Facebook page into a short video ad built around real project galleries and timelines. Sizzledraft captures visible page assets, including the cover photo, profile image, recent post images and about text, while content behind Facebook's login wall remains unavailable.

How do I turn my builder Facebook page into a video ad?

Paste the URL of your building firm's public Facebook page. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the page and captures the visible cover photo, profile image, recent post images and about text. It then uses those real assets to author scenes that match the colours and visual cues available on the page. For builders, the strongest sequence usually follows a job from the starting condition through key construction stages to the finished result. The first video is cut from the page alone, so public photos and clear captions matter. Later videos can accept a prompt, letting you request a focus such as extensions, new builds, renovations or a particular completed project.

Can a video show the timeline of a building project?

Yes, if the public page contains images from recognisable stages of the same job. A useful timeline might open with the original plot or room, move through groundwork, structure and fitting, then finish on the completed build. Repeated details such as the same brickwork, roofline or floor plan help viewers understand that the images belong together. Public post captions can provide context, but the video should not claim dates, locations or construction details that the page does not show. If progress photos are mixed across unrelated jobs, use a later prompt to identify the project or trade you want featured. Clear albums and consistent captions make the sequence easier to author accurately.

What video format works for a builder's project gallery?

Vertical 1080x1920 video suits feeds where homeowners discover local building work, while horizontal 1920x1080 suits wider placements and website use. Both render at 30fps in H.264. A builder's gallery works best when each frame has one job: establish the property, show a construction stage, or reveal the finished result. Avoid squeezing several small site photos onto one screen because details such as joinery, brickwork and fitted interiors become hard to inspect. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. When a trending sound is relevant, it is handed over as a link to attach natively rather than baked into the file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture the public cover photo, profile image, recent post images and about text from a builder's Facebook page. It can use visible progress photos to shape a project timeline, but most Facebook content sits behind a login wall, so private, restricted or login-only posts cannot be included.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a generic logo screen while the best completed build appears later. Start with the strongest finished project image, then show the earlier construction stages and return to the completed result.

Strong before-and-after project photos are scattered across Facebook posts instead of organised into a clear build timeline.
Site progress images often need cropping and sequencing before they make sense in a vertical video ad.
Important proof such as the type of work completed, project location and build stages may sit in captions or posts hidden behind Facebook's login wall.
