An AI Ad for a Car

Quick answer: Photograph the car in its setting — three-quarter front, then a side, an interior, a detail — and the reading files it as a vehicle. A car is never cut out onto a white background; that would lose its proportions and its badge. Your photo is kept, the people in it are removed, and the ad puts a generated driver and a road around your actual car. Epic for a reveal, A day in the life for a family car, Show how it works for a feature. The name on the badge is read and printed on the end card.

Which photos work covers the general rules; this page is the car case.

The photos

First: three-quarter front, the whole car in frame, in daylight, on a clean surface. Then, as extra images: a side profile, the interior from the driver’s door, one detail — the wheel, the light, the badge. A showroom photo with a salesperson in it is fine; the composer says People will be removed. A brochure render is not a photo of your car; use your car.

A car is never redrawn onto a white background: the shape, the badge and the setting in your photo are what the ad drives.

What is kept

Cars, like shops and homes, are not redrawn. The shape, the colour, the badge, the wheels, the setting in your photo are what the shots are built from. Redraw is not offered for the main image (The main product image can only be redrawn from your original photo); if the photo is wrong, pick different images.

What the ad shows

The car moving through a place that fits it: a coast road, a city at night, a driveway at dusk. A generated driver and passengers; a reveal, a drive, an arrival. The extra photos become the angles the shots cut to — the interior when someone gets in, the detail on the freeze. Generated video does not write legible text, so the badge is read for the end card rather than shown in close-up.

Which vibe

Epic: scale, landscape, the reveal. A day in the life: school run, weekend, the boot full. Show how it works: one feature — the parking assist, the boot that opens itself. Minimal: the car, light, one line. Thirty seconds for a reveal and a drive; sixty for a story with the family in it.

The one line

A seven-seat hybrid for families who camp, or the used-car lot on Main Street, open Sundays. Model names and dealership names go here so the script and the end card have them. Claims about range or safety ratings are left out of the script; say what can be seen.

Dealership or single car

Selling one car: the car first. Selling the dealership: the lot or the showroom first, filed as a place, with a car as the second photo. The end card then carries the dealership’s name and Book a test drive. Ads for a place.

The end card

Brand from the badge or your line, product name from the reading dialog (the model), tagline, and a call to action: Book a test drive, See it in the showroom. The end card.

FAQ

Will the car be cut out onto a white background?

No. Cars are never redrawn; the photo is kept and the ad is built around it.

There is a salesperson in my showroom photo.

Fine. People are removed and the car and the room are kept.

Will the badge be readable in the shots?

Not reliably; generated video does not write legible text. The name is read and printed on the end card.

Which vibe for a reveal?

Epic. For a family car, A day in the life.

Can I advertise a used-car lot rather than one car?

Yes. Put the lot or showroom first; it is filed as a place, and a car can be the second photo.

Shoot the three-quarter front and go

One good photo of the car, Epic, thirty seconds.
