# The Ad Studio

Describe your offer and get a finished square ad image, then a 15 second vertical video ad draft, made on your own computer.

## What you get

**You need a social ad today. You do not want to open a design app or wait on a designer.**

The Ad Studio gives you a first draft.

It is two small tools.

The first one, poster-maker, designs an ad image from your description.

The second one, remotion-ad-video-skill, reads your website and writes ad ideas.

Then it makes a short vertical video.

Both run on your own computer.

**Free for solo people and small teams. No keys. About 15 minutes.**

## One thing to know

**The first video draft may need a fix pass.** Without good screenshots you can get empty frames or placeholder labels.

Neither tool makes photos. They only use images you give them.

The video tool is early (version 0.1.0).

Remotion, the tool that renders the video, is free for individuals and small teams. A bigger company needs a company license.

## Who this is for

You run a small business and you need a social ad now. This replaces waiting for a designer's first draft.

## What you need

- Claude Code
- git (a tool that downloads code)
- Node 20 or newer (Node runs the projects)
- About 15 minutes for the poster part
- A few real screenshots of your product or site, for the video

## Set it up

### Step 1: Get the poster kit

Downloads poster-maker and moves into it.

```
git clone https://github.com/dabodamjan/poster-maker.git
cd poster-maker
```

### Step 2: Install its parts

Installs the tools and the browser it uses to export images.

```
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
```

### Step 3: Get the video kit

Download it in a separate folder.

```
git clone https://github.com/leosssvip-dot/remotion-ad-video-skill.git
```

### Step 4: Let the video skill install itself

Open Claude Code in that folder. Ask it to follow the skill in `skills/remotion-ad-video`.

Its quick lab installs what it needs in about 40 seconds.

## Use it

For the image: go to the poster-maker folder and open Claude Code. Run `/new-poster` with your offer. Then run `/export-poster`.

For the video: give Claude your website address. Ask for a 15 second ad.

You get files like these:

```
ad.png    2160x2160 square ad, headline and button
ad.mp4    15 second vertical video draft
```

## If something goes wrong

**Export fails.** Run `npx playwright install chromium` again.

**The video has empty boxes.** Give it real screenshots, not just one wide image.

**It rejects my hook line.** Its checker allows 3 to 8 words. Shorten it.
