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:

  • 👀 Awareness (Brand/Product Intro)
  • 🛍️ Consideration (Highlighting features, testimonials)
  • 💰 Conversion (Offer, discount, CTA)

✏️ Your edit should support your campaign goal and audience behavior.

📐 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)

🎥 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:

  • 📢 Bold text (e.g., “STOP Scrolling If You Want Clear Skin!”)
  • 💥 Fast action clip or benefit highlight
  • 🎵 Sound effect or quick zoom-in

🎬 Use CapCut’s text animations, zoom, or shake effect for more impact.

🧩 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.

🧠 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

🔈 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

🧪 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.

📤 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
