We’ve all been there—scrolling through social media, half paying attention, until something catches our eye. More often than not, it’s a video. Maybe it’s a product demonstration that feels effortless, or a snappy, animated ad that makes us stop for just a second longer.
That second matters.
Meta has found that catalog product video ads drive up to 20% higher conversions than static images, proving that movement grabs attention in a way that still images can’t. And for e-commerce brands, the opportunity is clear: video isn’t just an engagement tool—it’s a direct path to more sales.
But here’s the challenge: creating product videos at scale isn’t easy. It’s one thing to put together a single polished video, but what happens when you need hundreds—each tailored to different products, audiences, and placements? Suddenly, video production becomes overwhelming.
That’s where dynamic video automation comes in. Instead of spending hours manually editing every variation, brands can now generate, test, and optimize video ads automatically—making it easier than ever to create high-performing content across Facebook and Instagram.
Meta Catalog Product Video Ads combine a brand’s product catalog with engaging video content, automatically pulling in real-time details—like pricing, availability, and descriptions—to create personalized shopping experiences. These ads adapt dynamically, ensuring potential customers see the most relevant products at the right moment.
Scaling video campaigns doesn’t have to mean blowing your production budget or having your paid marketing team spend hours creating individual ads. Instead of manually crafting videos for every product, tap into automation. You can generate high-quality, product-specific videos at scale using platforms like Marpipe to make this easier on your team by connecting product feeds to customizable templates, producing hundreds of video variations—all tailored to different products, audiences, and placements.
With Meta doubling down on dynamic video advertising, personalization and automation have become more important than ever. In a crowded digital space, brands that embrace AI-powered video creation won’t just keep up—they’ll stand out.
Great catalog video ads come down to one thing: creative execution. The best ones grab attention instantly, showcase product value, and feel native to the specific social media channel you’re posting on. We recommend a mix of lifestyle footage, product close-ups, and text overlays—a proven formula for driving engagement and conversions, especially on short-form platforms like Instagram Reels and Stories.
However, producing fresh, high-quality videos at scale can be a major challenge for brands. It’s time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to keep up with demand. That’s why many advertisers are turning to modular design—a smart strategy that enables brands to build reusable video components that can be mixed, matched, and updated effortlessly.
While dynamic video ads make distribution seamless across platforms, they don’t completely solve the challenge of creating unique videos for every SKU in a product catalog.
That’s where automated video generation comes in. By connecting your product catalog to customizable video templates, you can instantly generate product-level video ads—without the need for manual production. Even better, dynamic updates for pricing, images, and features ensure that every ad stays fresh and relevant while reducing the workload for creative teams.
This approach doesn’t just save time—it also boosts ad performance by keeping content up to date and optimized for engagement.
Once a brand has a solid video strategy in place, the next step is structuring the campaign effectively. To get the best results with Meta Catalog Product Video Ads, advertisers should:
Testing different versions of catalog video ads is essential. Since different audiences respond to different creative styles, brands need to continually experiment with variations. Automation tools now allow for AI-driven creative testing, making it easier to pinpoint which video elements perform best across different placements.
Even with automation in place, tracking key performance metrics is essential. Brands should closely monitor the following KPIs:
Analyzing performance across multiple video variations provides valuable insights into which creative formats drive the best results. Don’t forget that different platforms drive different types of performance, so it’s best to check-in even if you’re building automated campaigns.
As video continues to dominate social media, we can expect to see the following trends within 2025:
To stay ahead, brands need a test-and-learn approach to video advertising. AI-powered creative testing and product-level video automation make it easier to optimize every part of the video creation process—from dynamic content generation to campaign performance insights.

Meta Catalog Product Video Ads are a game-changer for e-commerce, making it easier to create personalized, high-converting video ads at scale. But staying ahead means embracing automation and AI-driven creative strategies—because manually producing hundreds of videos just isn’t sustainable.
