For your team
Video ads for yoga studios: film the teacher once, get a finished ad
Cutroom turns one phone clip of your teacher talking to camera into a finished 9:16 video ad, with captions, b-roll and an opening headline. It works the same way for pilates studios.
In short
- Cutroom makes video ads for yoga studios from one clip. Your teacher films an invite and you get the finished ad.
- You get a vertical video with captions and matching clips, ready for Reels, TikTok and Stories.
- Your teacher films one clip of up to 3 minutes on a phone, in your own studio.
- A calm studio ad works best with soft captions, the slowest pace, and quiet music or none at all.
- Your first video is free with no card. Lite is $19.99 a month.
- Longest clip your teacher can upload
- 3 min
- Caption themes, from quiet to loud
- 40
- Your first video, no card

What a yoga studio video ad needs to do
A studio ad has one job: get a stranger to book your intro offer.
- The offer is usually a first class or a first month at a lower price.
- Your teacher sells it best, talking to camera the way they talk in class.
- Captions matter because many people scroll with the sound off, so every word is on screen too.
- People start yoga at the new year, at the end of summer, or when a new timetable goes up.
- Filming one clip is quick, so you can film on Monday and run the ad on Tuesday.
Calm edit settings for a studio ad
Fast cuts, loud captions and a pounding track suit a gym, not a yoga studio. You change each setting in the editor after you upload.
- You can upload your own clips of your room, your mats and your light, and use those as b-roll.
- Swap a stock clip out wherever it looks too much like an advert.

This is the whole editor
Highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those exact words. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers.
Three yoga studio videos to film in one sitting
Each one is a single clip of 30 to 60 seconds, filmed on a phone in the studio before a class.
- The intro-offer invite says who the class is for, how the first class feels, the offer and how to book. Run this one all year.
- A first-class explainer covers what to wear, what a reformer is, how long it lasts and that nobody is watching you.
- A single posture or cue works well too, such as where the knees go in chair pose, in half a minute.
- For the new-year rush, add a deadline to the intro offer in the invite.
Three clips in one sitting, three videos out
Run the invite as the ad, and post the other two around it.

How it works
Your teacher films on a phone. Cutroom runs in a browser, so there is nothing to install and no timeline to learn.
- You upload one clip of up to 3 minutes.
- Cutroom cuts the pauses and adds captions, an opening headline and b-roll, which are stock clips laid over the words.
- You highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those words. Delete a line and it is cut from the video.
- You can pick a different caption theme or change the pace, and the video re-cuts to match.
- You download a 9:16 MP4 at 1080×1920 for Reels, TikTok and Stories.

Highlight a phrase to place a clip, delete a line to cut it, and the preview follows.

Music for a yoga studio ad
Every video comes back with the music off, which is often right for a calm class.
- On Basic and above you describe a mood, such as slow ambient piano, and Cutroom generates a track.
- A generated track costs 50 credits for up to 60 seconds.
- You set how loud the music sits under your teacher's voice.
- Songs from your class playlist are not licensed for advertising, so keep them out of the ad.

What a yoga studio video ad costs
A finished 30-second ad costs about 110 credits: 100 for the edit and 20 per minute of video to export.
- Those 100 credits cover the transcript, the editing and the b-roll search.
- A studio making one intro-offer ad plus two or three short videos a month fits inside Lite.
- Choose Basic if you want music under every ad, because generated music and avatars start there.
Cutroom plans for a yoga studio
At about 110 credits per 30-second ad. The free video carries a Cutroom mark; Lite and up remove it.

Questions people ask
- What should a teacher say in a yoga studio video ad?
- Three things: who the class is for, what the first class feels like, and the offer with how to book it. Say it the way you would at the front desk, not from a script. Thirty to sixty seconds is enough.
- How long should a yoga or pilates studio video ad be?
- 30 to 60 seconds. That is long enough to say who it is for and what the offer is, and short enough that most viewers reach the offer. Your teacher can talk for up to 3 minutes, and you delete lines in the transcript until it fits.
- Which caption style suits a yoga or pilates ad?
- A quiet one. Cutroom has 40 caption themes: the soft, plain ones suit a calm voice, and the loud ones suit a gym. You pick a theme, its font and its colour, and you move the captions so they stay clear of the mat.
- Can a studio use songs from its class playlist in an ad?
- Not safely. A class playlist song is not licensed for advertising, so the ad can be muted or taken down. Cutroom exports with the music off. On Basic and above you can generate a track from a mood for 50 credits, up to 60 seconds long.
- Can I make a studio ad if the teacher will not go on camera?
- Yes. Basic includes avatars, where a photo and a voice-over become a talking presenter, at 350 credits per minute. OpusClip's Agent Opus builds a video from a written brief. Your teacher's own voice is often why people book, so try filming them first.
- Can I show my own studio instead of stock yoga footage?
- Yes. Upload clips of your room, your mats, your light and your front desk, and swap them in wherever a stock clip looks generic. A new student wants to see the room they will walk into.
- Who should not use Cutroom for studio videos?
- Studios that want a full class recording on YouTube, or a brand film shot with several cameras. Use a timeline editor or a videographer for those. Cutroom works from one speaker in one clip of up to 3 minutes, and returns a 9:16 video.
Film one intro-offer invite on the mat and see the finished ad. Your first video is free.
