Announce your sale with a promo video people actually stop for
During Black Friday, Cyber Monday or a holiday sale, every brand is shouting "discount" at the same time. To cut through, your video has to show the deal, the product and the deadline in under two seconds. With ManyMotion, you describe your sale in the chat and the AI creates an animated promo video with a giant percentage, slashed prices, voice-over, original music and sound effects. Need to change the offer or the format the night before launch? One sentence does it.
Ready-to-use prompt ideas
Why ManyMotion
The deal, front and center
Huge percentages, crossed-out prices, new prices counting down: animated numbers keep your offer readable even with the sound off.
Ready before the doors open
A first version in about a minute, then edits by chatting. No more booking a designer weeks before Black Friday.
One video per sale phase
Teaser, launch, "final days", last call: each variation is a 5-credit edit, not a new project.
Your real products on screen
Upload your product photos and logo: the AI shows them full screen and zooms in on the detail that sells.
Original, royalty-free sound
Music composed for your video, free of licensing worries, plus sound effects timed to every price drop.
How it works
01
Describe your video
In one or two sentences: your topic, your offer, the tone you want and the format.
02
The AI animates it
Animation, voice-over, original music and sound effects, all in sync, in about a minute.
03
Tweak and export
Ask for changes by chatting, then download an MP4 that is ready to post.
The anatomy of a 15-second sale promo video
A promo video has a single job: move the viewer from "just scrolling" to "let me check." So it must say, very fast, how much they save, on what, and until when.
- 0–2 s: the number. "40% OFF" in huge type with a sound hit. No logo, no intro.
- 2–8 s: the products. Two or three hero items, old price crossed out, new price animated in.
- 8–12 s: the urgency. The end date, a countdown, or "limited stock" if it's true.
- 12–15 s: the action. Promo code, website or WhatsApp number, and your logo last.
Your Black Friday video calendar
A big sale is a story told in episodes. Create your videos ahead of time, then tweak each one in a sentence as the days go by. The same plan works for Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, Diwali, back-to-school or end-of-season sales.
| When | Message | Suggested length |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days to 1 day before | Teaser: "Black Friday is coming, start your wishlist" | 10–15 s |
| Launch day | The discount, hero products, the code | 15–20 s |
| Mid-sale | Reminder: a bestseller or a fresh selection | 15 s |
| Final day | Last call: countdown, "ends at midnight" | 10 s |
For each opening line, borrow from our list of video hooks: a bold number or a direct question works especially well when feeds are flooded with deals.

Mistakes that kill a sale promo video
- Too many products: past three, no price sticks. Make one video per category instead.
- No end date: without a deadline there's no urgency, and viewers put it off.
- A promo code nobody can read: show it alone, large, for at least two seconds.
- Fake urgency: a countdown that resets every week slowly erodes trust in your brand.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a sale promo video cost?
+
One credit equals one second of video, voice-over and music included, so a 15-second promo uses 15 credits. You get 60 free credits when you sign up, no credit card needed, and paid plans start at $12 per month. See pricing.
Can I get the same promo in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9?
+
Yes, just ask "switch to 9:16" or "make a square version." On the Agency Growth plan, all three formats are generated in one click.
Can I change the discount or end date at the last minute?
+
Type it in the chat: "change 30% to 40%" or "the sale ends Sunday." Each edit costs 5 credits, and you don't start from scratch.
Is the free version watermarked?
+
Videos made with free credits carry a ManyMotion watermark. From the Starter plan, you export watermark-free in Full HD.
