Octoclip wrote and checked the example output before it was published. FAQ ## This prompt, answered. What brands ask before they use it. **A person answers.** Can’t find your question? Write to us and someone at Octoclip replies. [Write to us](mailto:support@octoclip.io) ### How long should a commercial script be? For social video ads, 15 to 30 seconds. That is about 30 to 70 spoken words, with the product on screen early. Longer ads work only when the first seconds are very strong. ### What is the difference between a TV commercial script and a social ad script? A social ad has to work with the sound off and the thumb ready to scroll. It opens faster, shows the product sooner and looks like a post rather than a production. ### Is this commercial script prompt free? Yes. Copy it and use it as often as you like. You don’t need an Octoclip account. ### Can I run the creator’s video as an ad? Yes. Once you approve a video on Octoclip you can use it in paid ads on your own channels, including [Spark Ads](https://octoclip.io/spark-ads). **A person answers.** Can’t find your question?
