Introduction

Welcome to the ClipifyWoo documentation. This plugin empowers WooCommerce store owners to automatically generate engaging video ads from their product catalog using FFmpeg technology.

Whether you want to create videos for Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, ClipifyWoo handles the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on your business.

Installation

Follow these steps to install the plugin on your WordPress site:

  1. Download the plugin zip file.
  2. Go to your WordPress Admin Dashboard > Plugins > Add New.
  3. Click Upload Plugin and select the zip file.
  4. Click Install Now and then Activate.

Upon activation, the plugin will automatically create the necessary folders in your uploads directory: /wp-content/uploads/auto-ad-video/.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0 or higher
  • WooCommerce installed and active
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • FFmpeg installed on your server (or access to our Video Render API)

FFmpeg Setup

The plugin requires FFmpeg to render videos. You have two options:

Local FFmpeg

If your server has FFmpeg installed, the plugin will try to auto-detect it. You can verify the path in the settings.

# Common FFmpeg paths
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

If you are on a Windows server or Local environment, you may need to specify the path manually in the database options or wp-config.php.

API Configuration

If you cannot install FFmpeg on your server, you can use our remote Video Render API. This offloads the processing power to our dedicated servers.

Go to the ClipifyWoo settings page and enter your API URL to enable this mode.

Automation Settings

ClipifyWoo includes a powerful scheduler built on top of Action Scheduler.

You can configure:

  • Interval: How often a new video should be generated (e.g., every 24 hours).
  • Active Status: Toggle automation on or off.

The scheduler will automatically pick a product that hasn't had a video recently and generate one for you.

Creating Videos

You can manually trigger video creation for any product:

  1. Navigate to the ClipifyWoo dashboard.
  2. Select a product from the list.
  3. Click Generate Video.
  4. Choose your desired style and audio track.

Managing Jobs

Track all your video generation jobs from the dashboard. You can see the status (Pending, Processing, Completed, Failed) and retry failed jobs.

Templates & Styles

ClipifyWoo comes with multiple pre-built templates. You can customize the colors and fonts to match your brand identity in the settings page.
