UGC Try-On Ads with AI, Explained
Turn a model photo and a product photo into a short, creator-style try-on video — hook, script, voice, and footage all generated for you. This guide covers how the studio works, what hooks and locations do, and how to get a clip that looks like a real creator posted it.
Why Brands Run UGC-Style Ads
UGC — user-generated content — outperforms polished commercials on social feeds because it looks like a person, not a brand, talking. Here is what changes when that content is generated instead of sourced.
Authenticity converts
A creator-style clip reads as a recommendation from a real person, not an ad. Viewers watch longer, trust more, and click through more often.
No creator sourcing
Finding creators, shipping products, briefing, and waiting for content takes weeks per campaign. Here the whole loop is two photos and a few credits.
Fresh hooks on demand
Ad platforms punish creative fatigue. Re-run the same product with a different hook, location, or duration and A/B test openers without re-briefing anyone.
Social-ready by default
Videos generate in vertical 9:16 with natural, lip-synced speech — sized and paced for Reels, TikTok, and Stories out of the box.
How UGC Try-On Videos Work
Every video starts from two images and ends as a finished, voiced ad. The AI handles everything in between — the script, the shots, and the delivery.
Pick a model and a product
Choose one of the eight built-in AI models or use a photo of your own, then add a clear photo of the product. The AI keeps the product's shape, color, and logos faithful in the finished video.
Choose a hook, location, and settings
Open with one of six attention-grabbing hooks, place the scene in one of eleven locations, set the aspect ratio and duration, and optionally add a note about what you want.
Run and let the AI direct
Press Run — the exact credit cost is shown on the button — and the AI writes the script, directs the shots, and generates the video with lip-synced speech. The finished clip lands in your History.
What Is a Hook — and Why It Decides Everything
The hook is the attention-grabbing opening moment of a UGC video. The first seconds decide whether a viewer keeps watching or scrolls past, so a good hook opens a small mystery — something surprising happens, and the viewer stays to see it resolve. The product is always the hero of the payoff, never the butt of the joke.
Blizzard
Snow storm effect sweeping the scene
Flip Fail
A botched flip that cuts straight into the review
Dramatic Arrival
Product storms into the scene, landing intact
Product Catch
Product impact moment with dynamic energy
Product Drop
Product drops into frame
Strange Mic
Unusual microphone appears as a hook
Skipping the hook is fine too — the video simply opens on the creator holding the product up to camera before moving into the try-on.
Set the Scene with a Location
Every video is set somewhere believable, with matching light and atmosphere. Choose from eleven built-in locations: Airplane Wing, Bathroom, Bedroom, Car Roof, Gym, In Car, Kitchen, Office, Outdoor, Rooftop, Street. Bedroom is the default — a cozy, low-effort setting that fits most products — while options like Rooftop, Car Roof, and Airplane Wing push the clip toward the surreal, scroll-stopping end of the scale.
Preview videos for every location are shown in the picker, so you can see the exact mood before you commit.
The AI Writes the Ad for You
You never write a script for a UGC try-on video — the AI acts as the creative director and generates everything from your two images and your chosen hook and location.
A natural voice
The creator speaks straight to camera with lip-synced audio — casual and composed, like a friend's recommendation, never a hyped-up ad read.
A real-phone look
Natural light, a little handheld movement, honest texture — believable creator footage rather than a glossy commercial, because that is what performs in feeds.
The product stays the hero
Its exact shape, colors, and logos are preserved, and the chaos of the hook happens around it — never to it. The payoff is always the product worn or used on camera.
No on-screen text
The ad communicates through the image and the voice only — no baked-in captions or watermarks. Add subtitles in your editor if a platform needs them.
Want to steer it? The optional prompt field takes notes — product details, tone, a moment you want — and your notes outrank the defaults.
Choosing an Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio sets the shape of your video. Pick it for the platform it will live on — cropping a finished video cuts into the action you paid for.
9:16
Reels, TikTok, Stories, and vertical ads — the default
16:9
Product pages, YouTube, and website heroes
1:1
Feed posts and marketplace tiles
Choosing a Duration
Durations run from 3 to 15 seconds, with 10 seconds as the default. Duration is also the only setting that changes the credit cost, so match the length to the job instead of defaulting to the maximum.
3–5s
A single punch — the hook lands and the product pays it off. The cheapest way to iterate.
6–10s
Room for a hook, the product moment, and a closing line — the standard length for feed ads.
11–15s
Two or three spoken lines and an extra shot or two — for clips that carry a fuller story.
Longer videos use more credits, and the exact price is always shown on the Run button before you generate. Every video renders at 1080p.
