Will the video use my real decorating work?

Yes. The browser captures material available on your website, including genuine room photographs, exterior projects, preparation shots, service descriptions and quote prompts. Strong, well-lit images help the video show smooth paintwork, clean edges and tidy handovers accurately. It does not need invented project footage to make the first video.

Should I add before-and-after photos to my website first?

Add them if they clearly show the same wall, room or exterior from a similar position. Consistent angles make flaking paint, stained ceilings or dated colours easy to compare with the repaired, evenly coated result. Label each pair so the browser can distinguish the preparation stage from the finished decorating work.

Which format suits a painter's video ad?

Use 1080x1920 vertical video for phone-first placements where close-ups of cutting-in, woodwork and clean finishes need to fill the screen. Use 1920x1080 horizontal video for wider room transformations or website placements. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, making movement between project details smooth and practical to publish.

How much does it cost to make more decorating videos?

Two videos cost $19, which can cover different evidence such as an interior room finish and an exterior repaint. The $39/month option includes eight videos, useful for separating kitchens, hallways, woodwork, exteriors and preparation into focused ads. Later videos can take a prompt to select the decorating angle you want to emphasise.

Show the finish before customers request a quote

sizzledraft turns a painter and decorator website into a short video ad using real screenshots, project photos and the site's own colours and type. The video can focus on finish quality, careful preparation and tidy working, then direct local homeowners to request a quote.

Opening lines that work here

Look closely at those edges.
It directs attention to sharp cutting-in, where viewers can judge a decorator's control and finish quality.
A fresh finish without the mess left behind.
It answers a common homeowner concern by pairing the completed room with evidence of tidy working.
From patched walls to a smooth final coat.
It shows that the painter handles preparation as carefully as the visible topcoat.

How can painters turn a website into a video ad?

sizzledraft opens the painter and decorator website in a headless browser and captures real page screenshots, including project galleries, preparation details, service areas and quote buttons. It uses the site's colours and type to author a scene around that material, then renders the video frame by frame. The first video is cut from the site alone, so clear photographs of masked edges, repaired walls, smooth ceilings and tidy finished rooms give it useful evidence to work with. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as focusing on exterior paintwork or occupied-home cleanliness. Exports are available in 1080x1920 vertical or 1920x1080 horizontal format, at 30fps in H.264.

What should a painting and decorating video show?

Show proof that matters before a homeowner lets a decorator into the property. Start with the strongest finished room, then move closer to sharp ceiling lines, even wall coverage, clean skirting boards or neatly painted doors. Include preparation when the website provides it, such as filled cracks, sanded woodwork, protected floors and masked fittings. A short before-and-after sequence works best when both photographs use a similar angle and lighting. Keep ladders, loose sheets and open tins out of the final reveal unless the scene explains the working process. End with the actual service area and quote action from the site, so viewers know whether the painter covers their town and what to do next.

Can a decorator use trending sounds in these ads?

Yes, but the sound should be attached inside the social platform when the ad is posted. sizzledraft hands over a link to the trending sound rather than baking it into the video file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound natively. This matters when a painter wants a familiar sound behind a reveal from marked walls to a clean, even finish. The rendered video's own audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, giving speech, effects and music a consistent output level. Before posting, check that the chosen sound does not distract from close-up proof such as straight cutting-in, repaired surfaces and a spotless handover.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture real project galleries, before-and-after images, service pages, review text, service areas and quote buttons from a painter and decorator website. It may struggle with galleries that load only after interaction, low-resolution job photos, inconsistent before-and-after angles or pages where cookie banners cover the finished work.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing only a fast room reveal, which hides the preparation and tidy working that separate careful decorators from a basic repaint. Fix it by including one clear preparation detail, one close-up of the finished edges and one clean handover shot before the quote prompt.

Project photos often show the finished room but not the preparation, masking or clean-up that proves careful workmanship.
Subtle details such as sharp cutting-in, smooth walls and clean woodwork can disappear when wide room photos are cropped for vertical video.
Filming occupied homes risks showing clients, personal belongings, paint tins or dust sheets that make an otherwise tidy job look unfinished.
