A creator answering one common question to camera, directly, in the time it takes to answer it. One question per ad.
When to use it
Excellent mid-funnel filler and a cheap way to build a library: every recurring pre-sale question becomes its own creative. It is also the format that scales best when you already have a saved creator.
The thing to get right
One question per ad. Two questions halves the time available to answer either, and the format only works because it feels like a straight answer.
The format at a glance
- Output — a video ad.
- Structure — 4 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
- Family — Creator & UGC video.
- Recipe id — qna, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.
Can I answer two questions in one ad?
No. Two questions halve the time available for either, and the format only works because it feels like a straight answer rather than a segment. Run the second question as a second ad and see which one performs.

Models that render it
This format is rendered by a video model. The plan picks one unless you name it, and Seedance 2.5 is the default pick. You can ask for another by name, such as MiniMax H3, MiniMax H3 Max or MiniMax H3 Max Turbo. All three render native sound, so a voice comes out of the same take as the picture. The video models page compares every option.
