Use this when you want a finished short video, not only a script or storyboard. Happycapy can plan the concept, choose a video model, generate the MP4, create a cover image, and verify the output files.

## Example result

<LivePreview label="happycapy.ai/share/.../pocketgarden-short-video-ad.mp4" url="https://happycapy.ai/share/ecadeba9-8e0c-4a19-94fc-16bd38167312#f=outputs%2Fpocketgarden-short-video-ad.mp4" linkLabel="Open MP4" />

## What you can make

* A vertical 9:16 MP4 video ad
* A generated cover image or thumbnail
* A short script and shot list
* A reusable prompt for another product or platform

## What to prepare

* Product or campaign brief
* Target platform and duration
* Mood, scene ideas, and CTA
* Preferred video model when it matters

## Try this prompt

```text theme={null}
Create a complete short video ad for PocketGarden, an app that helps apartment renters grow herbs indoors. Use Seedance 2.0 for the actual video generation. Create an 8-12 second vertical MP4, a cover image, and a short script with shot list. The video should feel warm, optimistic, and apartment-friendly, with a tiny kitchen, herb growth, an app reminder, and a final CTA: "Start your windowsill garden today." Save the outputs as MP4, PNG, and Markdown, then verify that every file exists and is non-empty.
```

### Full conversation

<ConversationPreview label="happycapy.ai/share/.../full-conversation" url="https://happycapy.ai/share/ecadeba9-8e0c-4a19-94fc-16bd38167312" linkLabel="Open full conversation" />

## What Happycapy does

1. Turns the brief into a compact video concept.
2. Confirms the video model and generation settings.
3. Generates the MP4 in the cloud sandbox.
4. Creates a cover image and supporting script.
5. Verifies file size and keeps the full process shareable.

## Review checklist

* Does the first second communicate the hook?
* Is the output actually an MP4, not only a preview?
* Does the aspect ratio match the target platform?
* Are the cover image and script useful for publishing?
* Can the same brief be remixed for another platform?

## Next step

Ask Happycapy to create alternate versions for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or a different product offer.
