30-second AI video generation is live on Shhots AI, for both AI UGC ads and cinematic product ads. Same workflow as before: one product photo in, a finished video out with script, voiceover, and captions. The 10 and 15-second lengths stay exactly where they were; 30 seconds is a third card on the length selector.
A 30-second UGC ad costs 1,651 credits (about $13.48 on the $49 Pro plan) and a 30-second cinematic ad costs 1,677 credits (about $13.70). Every plan gets the new length, Starter included.
Why 30 seconds
Ten seconds buys you a hook. Thirty buys you a hook, a story, and a sell.
Under the hood a 30-second generation builds six 5-second scenes and stitches them into one continuous ad. That is enough room for the three-act structure that longer placements reward: open on the problem, demo the product, close with the offer. It is the length product pages, YouTube, and remarketing audiences have been asking for, and the one length AI ad tools mostly did not offer in a single generation.
The short cuts still have a job. Hooks get tested at 10 seconds, winners get rebuilt at 30. The full 30-second guide covers that workflow and the cost math.
Four 30-second videos, straight from the generator
Every video below is an unedited 30-second Shhots generation from launch week, each built from product photos. Unmute for the audio.

Available everywhere Shhots runs
The 30-second option is live in the app for every plan, in 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9. It is also exposed through the Shhots MCP server on Pro and Scale, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can generate 30-second ads from chat: the schema now quotes all four lengths (5, 10, 15, and 30 seconds) across the seven ad formats.
