How to Make Snapchat Videos That Fit

Step by step: a Snapchat video from product photos
1. Open the UGC studio and set the aspect to 9:16. 2. Add one main product photo and up to four extra angles, or paste the product page link. 3. Pick a hook and a format such as review, unboxing or problem-and-solution, or leave both on Auto. 4. Read the free storyboard and change any spoken line. 5. Render the 15-second clip and upload it in Snapchat Ads Manager or post it to your Story.
Because Snapchat recommends 3 to 5 seconds, put the product and the benefit in the first beat of the storyboard; the rest of the 15 seconds is extra for people who keep watching.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make Snapchat videos look like real Snaps?+
Use a handheld, phone-shot format such as a creator review or unboxing, keep it vertical at 9:16, and talk to the camera. The UGC studio's creator formats are built in that style.
Is there a Snapchat video template?+
The UGC studio's formats work as templates: review, unboxing, problem-and-solution and faceless product reveal each give you a ready shot order and spoken lines you can edit, set to 9:16.
How long should a Snapchat video ad be?+
Snapchat allows up to 3 minutes but recommends 3 to 5 seconds for video. A Reviral clip is 15 seconds, so you can trim it in the free browser editor if you want the shortest cut.
