AI UGC video generator
UGC ads work because they look like somebody filmed themselves in a kitchen, not because they look expensive. This generator casts one AI creator, gives them a voice, and animates their portrait speaking each line, then cuts between those takes with fast proof beats.

One person, generated once
The director writes a creator description first: gender, age, look, clothing, setting. That single description produces one portrait image, and every talking clip animates that same portrait, spoken by the same synthesised voice. Identity and voice therefore cannot drift between cuts, which is the tell that gives away most stitched-together AI creator ads.
Talk, proof, talk, proof, close
Two or three talking scenes are the spine and carry the hook, the experience and the recommendation, in that order, as one person's continuous thought. Between them sit one to three proof or credibility beats: sliding checklists, a stacked word statement, a count-up number, a five star verdict, a social post card, a before and after split. The last scene is always a close, which is the offer, the code or the ask.
The 30 second ceiling is real
The whole video must run under 30 seconds. That is enforced through the prompt rather than left to taste: never more than three talking scenes, each running as long as its dialogue at roughly 5 to 7 seconds of speech, and every non talking scene held to 2.5 or 3 seconds. It is also why the length picker only offers short and standard here, with both labelled max 30s.
Written as speech, not copy
The dialogue is the exact spoken words and it is that scene's audio. It is written first person and deliberately imperfect, with the okay so and honestly and look that real people say, and no announcer tone. Uploaded product screenshots go into the proof scenes rather than the talking ones, so the creator stays the subject and the product is the cutaway.
How it works, in three steps
Step 1
Describe the product and the vibe
Say what it is, who buys it, and how the person should come across. The persona is cast from that, so an audience mismatch shows immediately.
Step 2
Let it cast and speak
One portrait is generated, one voice is chosen, and up to three talking clips are animated from that portrait. This takes longer than a normal generation.
Step 3
Recut in the builder
Rewrite dialogue, drop a proof beat, swap the closing offer. The talking clips stay as they are unless you regenerate that scene.

Limits worth knowing
- UGC generation needs the Pro plan or higher. Below that the type is locked in the picker and the API returns a 403.
- At most three talking clips are generated per video. Extra talking beats fall back to the scene layout without an animated clip.
- The uploaded clip role is never used in UGC mode, so your own footage does not go in the talking spine.
- If avatar generation fails the video still builds, but the talking scenes play as layouts rather than a person speaking.
Questions people ask
Is the person real?
No. The portrait is generated from a written description, and the voice is synthesised. Nobody is filmed and no likeness is taken from a real creator.
Why is it capped at 30 seconds?
Because the format is. A creator ad that runs past half a minute stops reading as somebody talking and starts reading as an ad, and the platforms it is made for reward the shorter cut.
Can I use my own product photos?
Yes, and you should. They are placed in the proof beats, which is where a viewer expects to see the thing rather than the person. Up to eight images ride along with the brief.
What is the difference from a faceless video?
Only the talking spine. A faceless video is text, images, voiceover and captions with nobody on camera. UGC puts a generated person in frame for two or three of the scenes and cuts to the same kind of beats around them.

AI creator video or faceless video
These are the two ways to make a video without filming anything, and they are not interchangeable. One casts a person and animates them talking. The other never shows anybody. They have different plan gates, different length ceilings, different scene libraries and different failure modes.
Instagram video ad
The two Instagram ad placements look similar and behave differently. A Feed ad gets 125 characters of primary text and a viewer who may pause. A Reels ad gets 44 characters, no auto-captioning from Meta, and a viewer who is already moving. The video has to absorb what the copy fields cannot hold.
Turn product photos into a video ad
A listing photo set is a good half of a video ad and a bad whole one. The pictures answer what it looks like. An ad also has to answer why now, how much, and what to do next, and none of those three are anywhere in a photograph, so they have to come from you.
