The song section
Upload the song, then drag Starts at to choose the part every video uses. The chorus, or a part with vocals, works best. Videos are 15 to 30 seconds long.
Set when the cover art and call to action appear. Landing them on the drop or the first line of the chorus is the classic move.
Captions
Captions are the catchy lines from the section you chose. Press Use suggested lines to fill them from your lyrics, then adjust the text and timing. Times are seconds from the start of the video.
Themes
Caption Pop uses bold social-style captions. Neon Night darkens the footage and makes the lyrics glow. Clean Type is minimal and editorial. One theme is used for the whole batch, so the only thing that changes between ads is the footage, which keeps the test fair.
