People quitting plastic“I want one bottle I'll keep for ten years.”
Formats

20 kinds of ad. Not one prompt.

Every video below was made in LocalAds from a product page, with no shoot and no prompt. Each format is built around what its kind of ad is judged by: a creator's face, a podcast's back-and-forth, a song's hook.

Direct it

You direct the ad. You never prompt a model.

The script is the source. Read it, change it in words, and the scenes, the cast and the voices follow.

Make the dad grumpier, and end on the price.
Rewriting the cast and the script…

Ask the director

Say what to change, the way you'd say it to a person. The cast and the script are rewritten together, and Undo is one click.

English

I didn't know my water bottle was the problem.

42 languages

Switch the language and the stories translate in place. The script is written in it, not dubbed.

“My bottle smells like old coffee.”

Change any word

Every line and every scene is yours to edit. Nothing is locked inside a prompt.

Maya · voice: Kiara

One face, one voice, every scene

Each character is drawn once and held in every shot, with one voice for the whole ad. Hear it before you pay.

“Just $19. Click below now.”“Just $19. Book your seat today.”

Lines that don't get blocked

Scripts are written around what video models refuse to film, learned from real refusals, so a scene isn't lost after you pay.

FAQ

What people ask before their first video ad.

Do I need to write prompts?

No. You pick who the ad is for and one of the formats. LocalAds writes three stories for that audience, then the script, the cast and their voices. You change what you want by editing the words or telling the director in plain words.

What if I already have an idea for the ad?

Type it in as your own story. It is written up into a full story, and the script and cast keep to your words.

Do the characters look and sound the same in every scene?

Yes. Each character is drawn once and held in every scene, and each speaker has one voice for the whole ad. You can redraw a character or pick another voice before you pay.

How long are the videos, and in what shape?

Each format has its own length, between 15 and 45 seconds, in vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Subtitles and music are added, and subtitles can be turned off.

Which languages can the ad speak?

42, including English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Spanish, French and Arabic. Switch the language and the stories translate in place; the script is written in it.

What does a video cost?

1 credit per finished second. Writing stories and scripts, drawing the cast and every change are free. A video that fails to render is refunded.

Does my product look like my product?

The product is shown from your own photos in every scene. In formats with their own look, such as claymation, it is remade in that style from your photo.

Can I make videos through an API?

Yes. One call with the format, the audience and the language makes the whole video, and you collect it when it is done.
