Amazon Video Generator adds AI motion to create high-action ads from static images

Amazon Video Generator Adds Advanced AI Motion for High-Action Product Ads

Amazon has expanded its Video Generator tool with advanced AI motion capture and multi-scene video creation, making it available to all U.S. advertisers as of June 10, 2025. This update shifts the focus from static lifestyle scenes to realistic, high-motion product demonstrations, enhancing how products appear in video ads.

The upgraded Video Generator uses sophisticated AI techniques to create videos that show products in active use. For example, instead of displaying a watch on a table, it can now show the watch on a wrist as someone checks the time. This dynamic presentation works especially well for toys, tools, and other products where demonstration adds value beyond static images.

Key Features and Benefits

• Multi-scene video creation: Advertisers can build videos that showcase products across different settings with text animations and background music.
• Six video options per request: This variety allows for testing and selecting the most effective creative for campaigns.
• Video summarization: The tool analyzes existing videos—like social media clips or tutorials—and extracts optimized segments for ad use, simplifying content repurposing.
• Brand customization: Logos can be uploaded and automatically integrated into videos, with upcoming options for brand guidelines and key selling points.
• One-click image transformation: Static images convert into short motion videos, making it easier for small businesses to create engaging video content without technical hurdles.

These features help advertisers create targeted, product-specific videos quickly and at scale. For example, BTR Media uses Video Generator to produce separate ads for chocolate and vanilla protein powders, improving click-through and conversion rates by aligning ads with specific product searches.

Addressing Challenges for Small and Medium Businesses

Traditional video production can be costly and time-consuming, which often limits small to medium businesses from leveraging video advertising effectively. Amazon’s Video Generator lowers these barriers by automating video creation while maintaining brand consistency. It pulls from product detail pages, shopper insights, and uploaded assets to produce videos that reflect the brand voice and showcase product benefits clearly.

By simplifying video ad creation, the tool gives product development teams a practical way to enhance marketing efforts without needing specialized skills or extensive resources.

Industry Context and Future Outlook

Amazon’s Video Generator builds on earlier AI tools like Image Generator and joins a growing set of AI-powered advertising solutions. Other platforms, such as Meta and Microsoft, have introduced AI video capabilities, reflecting a broader industry trend toward AI-driven creative tools.

The enhanced Video Generator is accessible through the Amazon Ads console for qualified U.S. advertisers and is expected to expand further geographically. Its availability aligns with increasing demand for video content, especially in e-commerce, where product-specific ads can directly influence buying decisions.
