Will the Short use photographs from my real portfolio?

Yes. sizzledraft drives a browser at the submitted page and captures real screenshots from the visible portfolio. Choose a page with the images you have permission to advertise and place the strongest work near the top. Password-protected client galleries and images hidden behind unusual interactions may not be captured reliably.

What format will I receive for YouTube Shorts?

The vertical video is rendered at 1080x1920 and 30fps, then delivered as an H.264 file. That format fits the vertical Shorts frame. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, helping portfolio transitions, narration and music play at a controlled level without changing the photographs or package information shown on screen.

Can I ask for a Short about one photography package?

The first video is cut from the website alone, so submit the page that best represents the package you want to promote. Later videos accept a prompt. You can request a focus such as wedding coverage, graduation portraits or personal-brand sessions, provided the page contains suitable portfolio images and package details.

Can the video use a trending sound on YouTube Shorts?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting the Short. It is not baked into the exported file because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound. The rendered audio is still normalised to -14 LUFS for a consistent base mix.

Put your portfolio and packages into a Short

sizzledraft turns a photographer’s website into a vertical 1080x1920 video ad for YouTube Shorts. It uses real portfolio screenshots and published package details to show both the quality of the work and what prospective clients can book.

How do I turn my photography website into a YouTube Shorts ad?

Submit the URL of the page that best combines your strongest portfolio work with clear package information. sizzledraft drives a browser through that page, captures real screenshots and builds a scene using the site’s colours, type and other brand tokens. The finished Short is rendered vertically at 1080x1920, 30fps and delivered as H.264. A useful sequence opens with a striking wedding, portrait or family image, moves through a compact portfolio reel, then introduces package names, included coverage and the booking action shown on the page. The first video is cut from the site alone. For later versions, add a prompt to emphasise a particular photography service, season or package.

What should a photographer show in the first three seconds?

Lead with one photograph that instantly identifies the work you want to book, such as an emotional ceremony frame, a polished personal-brand portrait or a relaxed family interaction. Pair it with a short line that names the client outcome, not a general claim about quality. Avoid opening on a logo, a camera shot or a long studio introduction because none shows what the buyer will receive. After the opening image, use two or three contrasting portfolio frames to establish consistency across lighting, locations and subjects. Then move into the relevant package details. This structure gives Shorts viewers immediate visual proof and keeps the pricing connected to work they have already seen.

How can a Short present photography package pricing clearly?

Treat each package as a quick booking decision rather than copying the full pricing page into the video. Show the package name, its published price and the two or three details that most affect the client’s choice, such as coverage length, number of edited images, locations or album inclusion. Keep every line large enough for a vertical phone screen and let the portfolio image remain visible behind or beside the text. If your site lists several unrelated services, build the Short around one category, such as weddings or headshots, so viewers do not compare incompatible packages. End on the page’s real booking button or enquiry instruction, giving interested viewers a clear next step.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible portfolio photographs, package names, published prices, headings, colours, fonts and booking buttons from a photographer’s site. It can struggle with password-protected galleries, images that load only after unusual interactions, and portfolio layouts that hide essential details inside pop-ups.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing many unrelated photographs before explaining what can be booked. Fix it by choosing one service, opening with its strongest image, showing a short portfolio sequence, then presenting the matching package price and enquiry step.

Wide portfolio galleries crop poorly in a vertical frame, hiding the composition that makes a photograph effective.
Package names, session details and prices take too long to explain before a Shorts viewer scrolls away.
Still images can feel like an ordinary slideshow when the pacing does not guide viewers from portfolio proof to a booking decision.
