How to Edit Videos for Facebook Ad
Facebook Ads need to grab attention fast, convey value clearly, and prompt action — all in under 15 to 30 seconds. With the right editing strategy, your video ad can stop the scroll and increase clicks.
✅ 1. Know Your Ad Objective
Before editing, define:
- ๐ Awareness (Brand/Product Intro)
- ๐️ Consideration (Highlighting features, testimonials)
- ๐ฐ Conversion (Offer, discount, CTA)
✏️ Your edit should support your campaign goal and audience behavior.
๐ 2. Use the Right Format
- Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (Square) or 4:5 (Vertical Portrait) works best for mobile Facebook feeds
- Resolution: At least 1080p
- Length: 6 to 30 seconds (15 sec sweet spot)
๐ฅ In CapCut, use Canvas to resize your video before editing.
✂️ 3. Start With a Strong Hook (First 3 Seconds)
Your audience scrolls fast. Catch them early with:
- ๐ข Bold text (e.g., “STOP Scrolling If You Want Clear Skin!”)
- ๐ฅ Fast action clip or benefit highlight
- ๐ต Sound effect or quick zoom-in
๐ฌ Use CapCut’s text animations, zoom, or shake effect for more impact.
๐งฉ 4. Show Value FAST
- Show how the product/service works
- Highlight pain points and quick benefits
- Keep visuals quick, relatable, and simple
- Use overlays like:
- ✅ "No more back pain"
- ⏱️ "Takes just 30 seconds a day"
Use CapCut’s stickers, transitions, or pop-up text to guide the viewer’s focus.
๐ง 5. Add Subtitles (Always)
Most Facebook users watch without sound:
- Use CapCut’s Auto Captions or add text manually
- Match the captions to your brand font and color
- Keep the text large and readable
๐ 6. Include Music or Voiceover
- Use upbeat, professional background music (CapCut has royalty-free tracks)
- Optional: Add a voiceover to guide viewers through
- Make sure audio is mixed properly (voice > music)
✨ 7. Add Your Branding and CTA
- Use logo watermark or quick branded outro
- CTA ideas:
- “Shop Now”
- “Try Risk-Free”
- “Limited Offer”
- Add on-screen text and voiceover for CTA
๐งช 8. Test Different Versions (A/B Testing)
Create 2–3 versions of your ad with:
- Different hooks
- Varying CTAs
- Adjusted lengths
This helps identify what resonates most with your audience.
๐ค 9. Export and Upload
- Export in 1080p or 4K from CapCut
- Keep file size under 4GB for Facebook Ads Manager
- Upload to Meta Ads Manager and choose proper placement (Feeds, Reels, Stories)
✅ Final Tips:
- Keep text short and punchy
- Show real people using the product if possible
- Don't over-edit — clarity > complexity in ad videos
