Will the ad show my actual course curriculum?

Yes, when the curriculum is visible on the public sales page. The browser captures real module headings, lesson lists and related page sections, then uses them in the video. If the syllabus sits behind a student login or inside an embedded widget the browser cannot access, place a useful public summary on the sales page first.

Can the ad include student results from my course page?

It can use student results that are visibly published on the source page, including captured result sections and the surrounding context. The ad should not imply that every student will achieve the same outcome. Clear labels, faithful wording and a visible connection to the relevant course help keep the result credible.

What file do I get for YouTube?

The horizontal video is rendered at 1920x1080 and 30fps, then encoded as H.264. Its audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. That format gives you a standard horizontal file suitable for a YouTube ad workflow while keeping course-page text, curriculum screens and student-result scenes legible.

Can I use a trending sound in the course ad?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively where the platform provides that option. It is not baked into the delivered file because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound. The rendered ad can still include its own synthesised, normalised audio track.

Show what students will learn

Sizzledraft turns an online course sales page into a short horizontal YouTube ad. It captures the real curriculum, instructor details and published student results, then renders a 1920x1080 H.264 video with audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

How do I turn my course sales page into a YouTube ad?

Give Sizzledraft the public URL for your course sales page. A headless browser visits the page and captures real screenshots of useful sections such as the course promise, module breakdown, instructor profile and published student outcomes. It also reads the site’s own colours, type and other brand tokens to author scenes that belong with the page. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the sales page needs to make the curriculum and outcome clear. Later videos can follow a prompt, such as focusing on module three or a documented student result. The finished horizontal ad is rendered frame by frame at 1920x1080 and 30fps, encoded as H.264 and scored with synthesised audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

What should a YouTube ad for an online course show?

Start with the skill or outcome the learner is trying to reach, then prove that the course has a credible route there. Show a concise curriculum sequence rather than flashing an entire syllabus. For example, move from the foundation module to the applied project and then to the final deliverable. Use student results only when they appear on the source page, and preserve the wording and context instead of turning one result into a general promise. Include enough of the instructor section to establish who teaches the material and why their experience is relevant. End with the next step shown on the page, such as viewing the curriculum or enrolling, so the ad and landing page make the same offer.

How can I make several course ads from one sales page?

Use the first video to establish a baseline from the sales page itself. It can combine the course outcome, selected modules, instructor details and a published student result without requiring a separate brief. For later versions, give a prompt that selects one buyer concern or one part of the curriculum. One ad might explain what students build in the capstone project, while another might address whether the lessons suit beginners. A third can focus on a specific result already documented on the page. Keeping each version to one question makes the footage easier to follow and gives each YouTube ad a distinct job. Two videos cost $19, while the $39/month plan includes eight videos.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible module lists, lesson titles, instructor sections, course mockups and student results published on the sales page. It can struggle with curriculum hidden behind logins, collapsed accordions that do not open reliably, embedded course-platform widgets and results shown only inside video testimonials.

The common mistake

A common mistake is cramming every module, bonus and testimonial into one ad. Pick one learner goal, show the two or three curriculum steps that support it, and use one genuine student result as evidence.
