AI video
Creating Instagram Reels that convert is a mix of storytelling and visual appeal. But if you're promoting a product, you don't want to spend hours scripting and shooting. That's where Link to Video comes in: paste a product URL, and the AI generates ad-ready video creatives automatically. In this guide, I'll show you a practical workflow that combines proven script formulas with the Link to Video feature, so you can produce Reels that feel native and drive action.
Instagram Reels are short, punchy, and often product-focused. The challenge is producing enough variations to test what works. Link to Video solves that by turning any product URL into a video—no filming, no editing, no voiceover needed. You can generate multiple versions in minutes, each with a different script angle, and then pick the winners.
Compared to traditional methods (hiring a creator, using stock footage, or manually editing), Link to Video is faster and cheaper. It's especially useful for e-commerce brands, dropshippers, and social media managers who need a steady stream of creatives.
Here's how to go from a product page to a polished Instagram Reel using Van Gogh Studio's Link to Video.
Choose a product page that is clean and descriptive. The AI reads the URL's content, so make sure the page includes key details: product name, features, benefits, and maybe customer reviews. If the page is cluttered or lacks text, the AI might miss important selling points.
Go to the Link to Video page and paste your product URL. The platform will fetch the product information and prepare to generate video options.
Before generating, decide on the script formula you want to use. Here are three proven formulas for Reels:
You can also combine formulas, but starting with one keeps the message clear.
Set your desired aspect ratio (9:16 for Reels), duration (15–30 seconds is ideal), and style. The platform offers various models and effects—choose one that matches your brand's vibe. If you're unsure, start with the default settings and adjust later.
Click generate. The AI will produce a video based on the URL content and your chosen parameters. Review the output: does it align with your script formula? Is the pacing right? If not, tweak the parameters or try a different model.
If you want to add text overlays, music, or effects, use the built-in video editor. You can also extend or upscale the video if needed. For Reels, adding captions is crucial—many viewers watch without sound.
Once you're happy, export the video in high resolution and upload it to Instagram. Don't forget to write a compelling caption and use relevant hashtags.
While Link to Video doesn't require a text prompt (it uses the URL), you can influence the output by choosing the right model and style. Here are some tips:
If you want more control, you can combine Link to Video with the text-to-video feature: generate a script manually, then use that as a prompt. But for quick, data-driven creatives, Link to Video is the fastest route.
