What makes a Black Friday video work
The best Black Friday clips are under 45 seconds, start with a bold hook, and showcase the biggest discount within the first 5 seconds. Use fast cuts, bright graphics, and a clear call‑to‑action that tells viewers exactly where to shop.
Structure it like a sprint: 0‑5 s tease the deal, 5‑20 s highlight the product and price, 20‑35 s add urgency (“Only today!”), and 35‑45 s close with a clickable link or brand logo. Keep the pacing tight and the copy simple—no more than three punchy lines.
How to do it with Vaideo
In the “Create video” screen, type a short brief—e.g., “Black Friday 50% off on wireless earbuds, 24‑hour flash sale.” Choose a 16:9 format, pick an English male voice, and set the duration to 30 seconds. Vaideo will write a script, generate stock footage or AI images, add subtitles, and render the clip in 2‑6 minutes.
If you have product photos or a brand logo, upload them with the 📎 icon. Vaideo will slot them into the timeline, then you can open the result in Vaideo Editor to trim, swap a scene, or adjust colors. The editor is free, works like CapCut, and lets you export in 1080p without a watermark when you have a paid pack or Pro.
Common pitfalls and quick fixes
Don’t overload the video with text. Too many bullet points cause viewers to scroll past. Stick to one headline and one price tag per scene. If the AI adds irrelevant stock clips, replace them in the editor with your own product shots.
Watch the audio level. AI voices can sound flat; boost the volume in the editor and add a short royalty‑free beat to keep energy high. Finally, double‑check the call‑to‑action—link text must match the actual URL you’ll use on the landing page.
