A good AI video partner turns your product and brief into usable assets. Identify the missing work: concepts, product imagery, animation, editing or coordination. Vendor rankings cannot answer that without comparable tasks and evidence.

Disclosure: AI Vidia publishes this guide and sells AI video ad production, so here are our own answers to the checks it recommends. Every video on our published plans gets one revision round, and a creative director reviews every file before it reaches you. We deliver finished videos in 9:16 as standard, other formats can be agreed on request, and you get full IP transfer on delivery, including any style system we build for your brand. Either your team or ours launches the ads and runs the tests; we agree which with each client. A concept is usually 3 to 5 videos, so ask any supplier how a monthly video count splits into concepts. At AI Vidia, a new opening on the same script counts as a variant. Our published example of product checking uses HAVREL, a fictional face serum: its four reference images were generated, since there was no real product to photograph, and every verdict came from an AI review pass. It is a demonstration and proves no client result.

Inspect relevance of the work

Request examples with similar product challenges. A reflective bottle, furniture and clothing require different handling. Ask which parts were generated and which used real imagery or footage.

Distinguish demonstrations from published client work. Results need context, period and measurement. A strong visual example is not automatically sales evidence.

Agree the trial and terms

Include a realistic revision in the trial. Check whether the producer understands feedback, preserves approved details and supplies a clear new version.

Review deliverables, schedule, revisions, usage and exit terms. Clarify access to project files and references. Compare AI Vidia’s packages against the same requirements as alternatives. A recurring partnership should match recurring needs and internal capacity.

Use a comparable trial as the decision record

Give candidates matching product references, audience, message and protected details. Agree the first deliverable and permitted source material.

Request a realistic revision and inspect unintended changes, communication and your own review time.

Require file types, versions, approved copy and any project files, plus information another advertising operator needs.

Judge predefined criteria: accuracy, clarity, revisions and total burden alongside price. An impressive scene outside the brief should not silently change the selection criteria.

The trial should include a correction that resembles normal work. Ask whether the new version preserves already accepted product details, and record your own time explaining and checking the change. This can reveal more about recurring production than a carefully selected first version.

Review the exit and handoff terms before making the relationship ongoing. Establish which project files, references and approved copy remain accessible and who can take over. A portfolio should also distinguish permissioned client work from demonstration material. Evaluate AI Vidia against the same requirements as other suppliers, with no assumption that a published example guarantees the result of your own campaign.

Frequently asked questions

01How should we trial a partner?
Use your product, clear criteria and a real revision round. Assess both the assets and the working relationship.
02Does a portfolio prove advertising effectiveness?
Only substantiated result claims can do that. A video itself demonstrates production, not necessarily sales impact.
