Will it use footage from my embedded showreel?

It captures what the browser can visibly reach on the page, including poster frames and portfolio imagery. Footage inside a restricted or non-playing embed may not be available as source material. For a dependable result, place strong stills from the showreel on the page and label the project type clearly.

Can I make separate ads for weddings and commercial work?

Yes. A dedicated page for each service gives the browser a cleaner source, with relevant frames, wording and turnaround details. The first video is cut from the site alone. For later videos, you can add a prompt that asks for a wedding enquiry angle, a commercial case study or another specific brief.

What formats can I use for portfolio promotion?

Vertical videos render at 1080x1920 for mobile placements, while horizontal videos render at 1920x1080 for wider placements. Both use 30fps and H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. Choose the orientation based on where prospects will watch, while keeping your showreel subject visible around text and crops.

How are trending sounds handled in a videography ad?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting. It is not baked into the rendered file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. This also lets you check that the sound suits the pacing and client work before publishing.

Put your showreel and turnaround time in the first seconds

Sizzledraft turns a videographer’s website into a short video ad using real screenshots, portfolio imagery and the site’s own brand tokens. The ad focuses on the work clients can see and the turnaround they need to know before making an enquiry.

How do I turn my videography website into a short ad?

Start with the page that best combines your strongest frames with a clear service, such as wedding films, event recaps or commercial production. Sizzledraft drives a browser through that page, captures real screenshots and uses the site’s colours, type and other brand tokens to author the scene. Your first video is cut from the site alone, so the page should make your specialty and turnaround easy to find. Put recognisable portfolio work near the top and use captions that identify the job, not vague labels such as “latest project.” Later videos can take a prompt, which helps you focus an edit on a particular booking window, production type or delivery promise without replacing the visual evidence already on your site.

What should a videographer show in the first three seconds?

Lead with the frame that proves the kind of work you want to book. A wedding videographer might open on a ceremony reaction, while a commercial shooter might use a polished product movement or a recognisable workplace scene. Pair that image with one short line about the outcome or turnaround, not a list of cameras and lenses. Prospects need to understand the assignment, visual standard and reason to keep watching before they consider production details. If your site includes several unrelated reels, give each service its own page so the browser can capture a coherent set of images. A focused opening also prevents a corporate prospect from seeing wedding footage first, or an engaged couple from landing on an industrial case study.

Can the ad show both my showreel and turnaround time?

Yes, provided both are visible and specific on the source page. The scene can move from portfolio screenshots to a concise delivery message, such as when the first cut arrives or how long a finished highlight film usually takes. That sequence works because the showreel establishes taste before the turnaround statement reduces booking uncertainty. Avoid promising a deadline that only applies to one project type. Separate wedding films, same-day event edits and commercial campaigns when their schedules differ. The finished file can be rendered vertically at 1080x1920 or horizontally at 1920x1080, at 30fps in H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, so dialogue, music and transitions sit at a consistent delivery level.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible showreel thumbnails, project stills, service descriptions, turnaround claims, logos, colours and typography from a videographer’s site. It may struggle with footage hidden behind video players, autoplay restrictions, password-protected galleries or carousels that do not expose every project on the page.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a logo animation while the strongest wedding, event or commercial footage waits off-screen. Open on the best project frame, identify the type of shoot immediately and place the relevant turnaround promise after the visual proof.

A strong showreel often starts too slowly for a short ad, so prospects leave before seeing the best wedding, commercial or event footage.
Portfolio pages explain visual style but often bury practical buying details such as turnaround time, coverage options and delivery format.
Re-editing finished client work into multiple ad formats takes time away from shooting, colour grading and delivering current projects.
