How to Make an Eid Greeting Video for Your Business with AI: Scripts, Scenes and Timing

01What makes an Eid greeting video worth sharing

On the night Eid is announced, phones across the region fill up with greetings, most of them near-identical still images. A short video with a warm voice speaking the customer's own dialect stands out, because it feels like a message from people they know rather than a post from the marketing team. You don't need a shoot, a studio or presenters: a short script, a generated voice, generated scenes and Arabic captions are enough.

Four rules separate the greetings people forward from the ones they scroll past:

• Keep it short: 15 seconds is plenty. A greeting isn't an ad.
• Speak their dialect: asakum min awwadah for Saudi or Emirati customers, kol sana wentu tayebeen for Egyptian ones, Modern Standard Arabic for mixed audiences.
• No hard sell: leave discount codes out of the greeting. If you have an Eid offer, post it separately.
• Sign off with your name: greeting first, then “from all of us at [Company]” in the final line.

Eid closes a season that starts before Ramadan. If you're also running a Ramadan campaign, keep the same voice and tone in both so the two feel like one story:

02When to prepare: approximate Eid dates for 2027

Both Eids depend on moon sighting, so every date below is approximate and can differ by a day between countries. Plan around them, but publish only after the official announcement:

Dates are early astronomical estimates reported by UAE outlets including Khaleej Times and The National in August and September 2026, unconfirmed as of October 2026. Each country's authorities announce the actual dates after the crescent sighting.

03Ready-to-use greetings in English and Arabic dialects

Each script reads in roughly 8 to 11 seconds, leaving room for a breath at the start and a quiet final shot. Replace [Company] with your name and choose the dialect most of your customers speak. If your audience is international or expatriate, start with English:

04A 15-second scene plan without awkward AI mistakes

Video studio voices your script first, then splits it into scenes of 3 to 8 seconds timed to the speech and writes an editable visual prompt for each. A plan that works for a 15-second greeting:

Your company name lives in the voice and the captions, not inside the picture. Video models garble Arabic letters and invent odd logos, so Vocla writes scene prompts with no on-screen text and no logos, and adds Arabic captions as a separate track timed to the speech.

For Eid al-Adha, swap the middle scene for “a coffee dallah and cups on a rug in the desert at sunrise” or “Eid hospitality laid out on a majlis table”.

05Step by step in Vocla's Video studio

1. 1Paste the script and pick a voice: choose the dialect in the dialect picker and a calm, warm voice, not an energetic ad read.
2. 2Pick format and tier: 9:16 for WhatsApp Status, Stories and Reels. Lite is enough for a greeting; Standard, from Creator, adds richer detail.
3. 3Turn on captions and music: clean Arabic captions at the bottom, plus a gentle music bed ducked under the voice, prompted with something like “warm oud and soft percussion, calm and joyful”.
4. 4Review the scene plan: edit prompts along the lines of the table above and remove anything that could show religious rites.
5. 5Approve the storyboard: generate a still for each scene and check it before spending credits on video.
6. 6Render and download: if one scene misses, regenerate it alone, then download the MP4.

06Sending it on WhatsApp and social media

Vocla gives you a finished MP4; you share it from your phone or your usual social tools. The right shape for each channel:

07Cost and the right plan

Vocla Video is billed per rendered second by tier, plus the voiceover, the music bed and storyboard stills. The maths for a 15-second greeting:

Starter at $4.99 includes 5,000 credits and 30 video seconds a month, with videos up to 15 seconds, 720p, vertical only and watermarked. One greeting with storyboard stills (about 3,210 credits) fits with about 1,790 to spare; for a second, plan on a top-up (20,000 credits for $10). Professional at $29 gives 80,000 credits and 300 video seconds a month in 1080p, every format, no watermark: five dialect versions on Standard come to about 34,800 credits and use only 75 of your monthly seconds.

Credits use Vocla's default rates as of October 2026; the quote shown before each render is the exact figure. [Company] is a placeholder for your name, and Eid dates stay approximate until officially announced.
