XSpark Motion Maker — Create Short-form Ad Videos in 3 Steps with Viral Templates

Viral video formats are already proven to work. XSpark Motion Maker lets you take an existing viral template — a dance, a walk, a pose — and swap in your own image to produce a new ad video. No script, no voice setup. Just three steps.

  1. Choose a viral template — Pick from 10+ templates in styles like dancing, walking, and posing
  2. Select an image — Use a marketplace image, upload your own, or generate a new one
  3. Generate the video — AI composites your image into the template; request multiple versions at once

Viral templates work because they're built on formats audiences already engage with. By dropping your brand image into a proven format instead of building a video from scratch, you skip the creative guesswork and go straight to distribution — making Motion Maker the fastest path to a short-form ad that actually gets watched.


Step 1: Choose a Viral Template

XSpark Motion Maker — Viral template selection

Pick from 10+ viral templates in styles like dancing, walking, and posing. Each template is optimized for vertical short-form platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.


Step 2: Select an Image

XSpark Motion Maker — Image selection

Choose an image from the marketplace, upload your own, or generate a new one with "Create New Image." The right panel shows your selected template and image. Toggle "Keep original sound" to retain the template's audio.


Step 3: Generate the Video

AI generates the video by compositing your image into the template. You can request multiple versions at once using "Generate additional videos."

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kinds of viral templates are available in XSpark Motion Maker?

The template library includes 10+ styles — dancing, walking, posing, and more. Each template is a pre-built video format optimized for vertical short-form platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. New templates are added regularly, so the library expands over time.

Q: Can I use my own image or does it have to be an XSpark marketplace model?

You can use an image from the marketplace, upload your own photo, or generate a brand-new image using the "Create New Image" option within the Motion Maker flow. This means you can put your own product, character, or brand visual into any viral template without being limited to the marketplace selection.

Q: Does XSpark Motion Maker require writing a script or setting up a voiceover?

No — Motion Maker is the most minimal of the three XSpark modes. There's no script to write and no voice setup required. You just pick a template, select an image, and generate. This makes it the fastest path to a finished short-form ad video when you don't need spoken dialogue.
