The problemYour video ad worked last month. Now the same audience scrolls past it.
In shortVideo marketing services from Pixel & Oak plan, make and refresh short video ads and product demos for software companies and online brands that need new ads without a film shoot. We build each video in code, with AI narration and burned-in captions, in every size. Prices start at $750 a video, delivered in 1–2 weeks.
Video marketing services usually sell you one polished video. The trouble is that ads wear out: the same audience sees the same video too often, clicks fall and costs climb. You need new openings, lengths and offers every few weeks, and most studios charge a new production for each one. We make short videos in code, so a new version is an edit, not a new shoot.
Motion graphics, product screens, animated text and narration are built in Remotion, a framework for making video with React. Our director agent assembles the edit, our voice agent records AI narration and times the captions, and our image agent makes any artwork the video needs. Haider Ali directs the work and approves the script, the first cut and the final files.

Most people who ask us for video have already hit one of these.
Frequency climbs, click-through falls and cost per result rises as the same people see the same video again. Spend keeps going out at a worse rate until someone makes new creative.
What we doEach video is code, so new openings, lengths, offers and sizes are an edit and a re-render. A set of four related videos is $2,400, and a refresh of an existing video usually takes a day.
Weeks pass before production starts, then the quote lands. One vendor's market roundup puts subscription video studios at $399 to $6,000 a month and location shoots at $12,000 and up.
What we doOur price is on the page: $750 for a video up to 30 seconds, four related videos for $2,400, two rounds of changes, and final files in 1–2 weeks.
Launch dates slip, the campaign misses its window, and the budget goes on hours and meetings rather than finished videos.
What we doA fixed price per video. The script is approved before production, you get a full first cut with narration and captions, and final files arrive in 1–2 weeks.
You pay for footage that cannot run as an ad, then spend more time re-briefing creators and chasing support for replacements.
What we doScript and style frames are approved before anything moves, and your product appears as it really is. We do not film people, but we can cut creator or phone footage you already have into captioned ads.
Subscription money goes on ads that mispronounce words or look cheap, evenings go on retries, and the brand suffers if a bad one runs.
What we doWe use AI for narration, caption timing and artwork, but a person directs it. You approve the voice and script, Haider approves the first cut and final files, and we never use AI avatars posing as customers.
Viewers never see what the software actually does, so the ad does not sell it, and you end up paying again to fix it.
What we doWe rebuild your product's real screens and flows as motion graphics in code, so the video shows the actual interface working, in your brand colors and fonts.
We would rather tell you now than take the project and disappoint you.

Worth knowing: Many feeds start videos with the sound off, and people decide quickly whether to keep watching. So every video we make has burned-in captions and opens on the point, and we make several openings to test rather than one polished intro.
A script built around one message and one action, approved before production starts.
Product screens, diagrams, animated text and transitions built in Remotion, in your brand colors and fonts.
Clear AI narration, or your own recorded voice, with captions timed word by word.
9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 and 4:5 for feeds, and 16:9 for YouTube and your website.
Different first seconds to test, because the opening decides most of the result and is the first thing to tire.
The project code and assets handed over, so the video can be updated later by us or anyone else.

Creative fatigue, also called ad fatigue, is what happens when the same audience sees the same ad too many times. People stop noticing it, so the platform charges more to show it. These are the signs we watch for.
There is no single right refresh date. It depends on your audience size and spend, and each platform publishes its own guidance. The practical answer is to have new versions ready before the old ones tire.
If people watch and click but do not buy, the problem is usually the landing page or offer, not the video. New creative will not fix that.
Each option suits a different job. Here is how they compare for short ads and product demos.
| Option | Typical cost | Good for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video marketing agency or subscription studio | $399 to $6,000 a month for subscriptions; location shoots from $12,000 (vendor roundup, Oct 2026) | Filmed campaigns and large brands | Hidden prices and long timelines |
| UGC marketplace | Per video, with extra charges for add-ons | Real faces using the product | Briefs ignored and uneven quality |
| DIY AI video tool | A monthly or yearly subscription, plus your time | Quick drafts | Credits burned, cheap-looking results, evenings lost |
| Our studio | $750 a video, or four for $2,400 | Product demos, software, offers and fast new versions | We do not film people |
| Placement | Shape | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Reels, Shorts and TikTok | 9:16 vertical | Captions and key text kept clear of each app's buttons along the bottom and right edge |
| Facebook and Instagram feeds | 1:1 square or 4:5 | The point and the product shown in the first seconds, readable with the sound off |
| YouTube and your website | 16:9 wide | Longer cuts and demos, with captions burned in or supplied as a file |
The narration is synthetic unless you supply a recording, and we never clone a real person's voice without their written permission. AI-generated media is labeled wherever a platform's rules require it.
Code you own, rather than a template locked inside someone else's editor.
Remotion and React, rendered to MP4
Kokoro text-to-speech, or your own recording
Whisper speech recognition for word-level timing
AI-generated images with lettering added separately, so text is always legible
Not sure whether video is what you actually need? Send over what you are trying to fix and we will tell you straight — including if a smaller job would do it.
Ask us first →What the video must say, who it is for, where it will run, and what the viewer should do next.
A script and a few still frames to agree the look before anything moves.
A full draft with narration and captions. Two rounds of changes included.
Every size and version exported, plus the source, ready for your ad accounts or for us to post.
AI agents from our Design & Film and Growth & Marketing divisions do the work, in parallel. Haider Ali, founder and CEO, agrees the plan with you and signs off everything before it reaches you.
Ours start at $750 for a video of up to 30 seconds, including the script, narration, captions and three sizes. A set of four related videos is $2,400. Longer explainers and launch films are quoted separately. For context, one vendor roundup lists subscription video studios at $399 to $6,000 a month and location shoots from $12,000.
Creative fatigue is when your audience has seen an ad so often that they stop responding, so clicks fall and costs rise. You avoid it by watching frequency, click-through and cost per result, and by having new openings, lengths or offers ready to swap in. Because our videos are code, a new version usually takes a day.
Pick one message and one action, open on the point in the first seconds, burn in captions for people watching muted, and export vertical and square versions. Then upload them in Meta Ads Manager and test a few openings against each other. If you would rather not do it yourself, we make them from $750 a video.
Watch the hook rate, meaning how many people watch past the first few seconds, plus click-through, frequency, cost per thousand views and cost per result. A falling hook rate points to a tired opening. Good clicks with few sales point to the landing page or offer, which new video will not fix.
Yes. Phone clips, creator videos, webinar recordings and product screen captures can all be cut into short ads with captions, graphics and narration. We do not film new footage ourselves, so if you need people on camera, record them or hire a crew, and we will build the ads around it.
The one your buyers already use and you can afford to test on. Facebook and Instagram give broad reach for consumer products, YouTube suits demos and search-driven buyers, TikTok skews younger, and LinkedIn suits B2B. We export every video in vertical, square and wide sizes, so you can test more than one.
By default, yes: clear synthetic narration that you approve before the video is finished. If you would rather have a real voice, record it yourself or hire a voice actor, and we will build the video around the recording. We never clone a real person's voice without written permission.
We can. Our social media service schedules them on your profiles, and our Google and Meta ads service runs them as paid campaigns. Or we hand over the files and the source, and your team takes it from there. Either way, you own the videos.
One to two weeks from an approved brief to final files, with two rounds of changes included. Changes to an existing video, such as a new price, offer or date, usually take a day, because the video is code and only needs a re-render.
