Text to video for ads — not for trailers
Most text-to-video demos look like movie trailers. Text to video for ads has to survive a mute-optional, thumb-stopping feed: product, face or hands, offer, 9:16. That is the Generate default we optimize for.
3-day Pro trial ($49/mo after). Card required at Stripe Checkout. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not billed.
Write the prompt like a brief, not a poem
Include the product, the first spoken line, the room, the aspect ratio, and what should not appear (logos in the unsafe zone, widescreen). The UGC pack prompts already do this. Copy one from marketing/ugc-ads/ and swap the product.
If the model wanders into cinematic establishing shots, add “handheld phone, talking to camera, UGC, TikTok ad, 9:16.” Boring words. Better ads. Then stitch a 6–8s Generate clip under a 15s selfie VO if you need the full length.
From text to a campaign
Video is one asset. You still need primary text, a headline, a landing, and a trial. ClipyAI publishes those with the pack and the /f/plus funnel so “we generated a clip” is not the end of the work.
Social generate-pack turns the same brief into captions and stills when the platform wants a static.
- Prompt → 9:16 take in Generate
- Pack → Meta/TikTok copy
- Funnel → signup → Stripe trial → Generate again
What we will not claim
Text-to-video will not replace a unique founder face if that is your brand. It will replace the week you spend waiting on a creator to unbox a $29 product. Use it to test offers; hire talent when an offer wins. The trial CTA is still signup, then Stripe Checkout, then Generate.
FAQ
Which model should I use?
Whatever Generate currently lists for 9:16 video. The pack prompts are model-agnostic on purpose so we do not bake in a deprecated ID.
Can I start without a card?
You can create an account free. The Stripe trial that unlocks paid generations collects a card. That is the paying-customer path.
Is there an API?
Yes — /api/v1/generate/ugc-ads wraps social generate-pack. The MCP tool generate_ugc_ads does the same. The fastest path for Ken is still /app/generate and /app/social/create.
