Updated this week

If you're looking to build video ads for Facebook, you can easily do so using Bannersnack’s Facebook Sponsored Message templates. Whether you're promoting a service, a product, or building brand awareness, the video creation process is quick, intuitive, and doesn’t require advanced editing skills.

Create a Facebook-ready video in minutes:

  1. Start with the Facebook Sponsored Message preset
    From the design dashboard, select the Facebook Sponsored Message size template to ensure your video matches Facebook's optimal dimensions.

  2. Add content and animations
    Customize the first slide with your background image, social media branding elements, and animated text or graphics. Choose from dozens of built-in animated presets in the timeline editor. All presets are fully customizable and can be applied to layers with a single click.

  3. Add more slides and transitions
    Build your video sequence by adding additional slides. For each slide, add unique content and animations, then insert transitions between them. You can adjust transition settings such as direction, easing, tween, offset, and opacity for smooth visual effects.

  4. Preview and finalize
    Use the preview tool to check how your video plays. Once satisfied, save the project to your workspace.

  5. Export your video
    Hover over your saved design, click View, then select Download and choose MP4 as your format. While Facebook also supports GIF, we strongly recommend using MP4 for higher video quality and smoother playback.

Pro Tip:

Use shorter slides and subtle transitions to keep your Facebook video ad under 15 seconds for better engagement and to meet most ad platform requirements.
