sizzledraft

Show your app in use and prove its rating

sizzledraft turns a mobile app URL into a short video ad using real screenshots, visible store ratings and the page's brand tokens. It captures the site in a headless browser, authors the scenes, renders every frame and scores the finished video with synthesised audio.

Opening lines that work here

  • See why users rate this app so highly

    It puts the visible store rating at the centre of the opening before showing the app workflow that supports it.

  • From app open to task complete in seconds

    It promises a concise view of the app's core interaction instead of relying on a static feature list.

  • This is what your next tap can do

    It frames the app around an immediate mobile action and creates a natural transition into real interface screens.

How do I turn my app landing page into a video ad?

Submit the public URL for your mobile app landing page. sizzledraft drives a headless browser at that page and captures the real screens, device mockups, store badges, rating proof and feature copy it can see. It then uses the site's own colours, typography and other brand tokens to author a scene around those assets. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the page should make the app's main workflow and strongest store rating easy to find. Later videos accept a prompt, letting you emphasise a particular use case, feature or audience. The result can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a mobile app video ad show first?

Start with either the app's clearest outcome or its visible store rating, then show the interface delivering that outcome. A budgeting app might open on a spending total and move into categorising a purchase. A photo editor might show the finished image before revealing the adjustment screen. Keep taps, swipes and screen changes easy to follow, because dense interface motion becomes hard to read on a phone feed. If the landing page displays a current rating, pair it with the relevant store badge and avoid implying a rating that the source page does not show. The opening three seconds should tell viewers what the app does, while the next scenes demonstrate the specific in-app path behind that claim.

Can I use a trending sound in an app install ad?

Yes, but the sound should be attached inside the social platform when you publish the app ad. sizzledraft hands over a link to the trending sound so you can add it natively rather than baking it into the exported file. This matters because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. The rendered video can still include synthesised audio, normalised to -14 LUFS, for a consistent listening level. When planning the cut, leave room for the native sound to support screen transitions without hiding the app's message. Match major visual beats to clear interface moments, such as opening the app, completing the core action and revealing the store rating or download prompt.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible app screenshots, device mockups, feature copy, brand colours, icons and store-rating badges from the submitted page. It cannot operate the installed app itself, and carousels, videos, consent overlays or screens hidden behind sign-in may prevent useful states from appearing unless the page exposes them clearly.

The common mistake

A common mistake is shrinking a full app walkthrough into a few seconds, leaving buttons, labels and the store rating unreadable. Fix it by choosing one user task, enlarging its decisive interface states and holding the rating long enough to verify at phone-feed size.

  • Static app store screenshots do not show how a user moves from opening the app to completing its main task.
  • Store ratings provide valuable proof, but they often appear too small or too late to register in a short video ad.
  • Recreating an accurate phone interface for every release takes time and can leave ads showing screens that no longer match the current app.

Questions

Can sizzledraft record my installed mobile app?
No. It drives a headless browser at the URL you provide, not an installed iOS or Android build. It can use app screens, device frames and demonstrations that appear on the public page. If an important workflow exists only inside the app or behind sign-in, expose representative screens on the landing page first.
Will the video include my app store rating?
It can include a rating when that rating is visibly present on the captured page, such as beside an app store badge or in a review section. The video should preserve the displayed value and context. sizzledraft does not invent a rating or retrieve proof that the submitted page does not expose.
Which video format suits app install campaigns?
Vertical 1080x1920 works well for phone-first placements where the app interface needs most of the screen. Horizontal 1920x1080 suits wider placements, product pages and presentations. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264. Choose the layout that keeps interface labels, rating details and store badges readable at viewing size.
How much does it cost to make more app videos?
Two videos cost $19. A $39 monthly plan includes eight videos. The first video is based on the app site alone, while later videos can take a prompt for a particular feature, user task or campaign angle, such as onboarding, subscription tracking or a newly released editing tool.
