AI Marketing Video Generator: Ads, Product Clips and UGC-Style Videos (2026)
Choose your settings and review the credit cost before generating.
Create your first videoAI is good at producing many versions of a marketing video quickly. It's not good at being accurate about your product without supervision, and it can't make an invented customer a real one. This guide covers which Viralance tool fits which marketing job, what each costs, how to test versions, and the rules that apply to AI ads.
Which tool for which marketing job
| Job | Tool | What you provide | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| An ad from a product page | Link to Ad | An https product URL and an angle | Plan and exact cost shown before anything generates |
| UGC-style ad (testimonial, unboxing, demo…) | UGC studio | Product photo or name, format, persona, setting | 12 credits for a 5s Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p |
| Premium hero shot of a product | Product Hero template | One product photo | Shown on the template page before you generate |
| Unboxing or gift-style reveal | Unboxing Reveal template or Gift Box Reveal | One product photo | Shown on the template page |
| A specific scene you've written | Create | A prompt, optionally a photo | 3–28 credits for most 4–15s clips |
| Multi-shot story ad | Film | One idea; 4–12 shots | Per-shot cost + 5 credits to assemble |
| Same ad in another shape | Reframe | A finished clip up to 10s | From 6 credits |
| Captions on a talking ad | Auto Subtitles | A finished clip up to 5 min | 3 credits |
Credits cost $0.30 each on the $9 Mini pack and about $0.18 on the $299 Business pack. Packs are one-time, with no subscription, and credits don't expire.
Link to Ad: start from a product page
Paste an https product link and choose an angle: UGC / Authentic, Cinematic, Unboxing or Problem → Solution. Viralance reads the page's product name, description and hero image, drafts an ad plan and shows the credit cost before anything is generated. You can stop at any point, and runs above your credit cap wait for your approval.
Check the plan against your real product: the page may include claims or images you don't want in an ad.
UGC studio: formats built for ads
The UGC ads page gives an overview of the formats and examples; the studio itself is in your dashboard.
Pick one of 10 formats (Testimonial, Unboxing, Product Demo, Before / After, Lifestyle, Problem → Solution, GRWM, Tutorial, Comparison, Faceless hands-only), a persona, a setting and a vibe. Choose Seedance 2.0 (best for talking), VEO 3.1 Fast or Kling 3.0 Pro, and generate 1–3 variations. Each variation is a separate clip and is charged separately; the studio shows the total before you generate.
| UGC model | Durations | Cost for the shortest clip |
|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 (720p) | 5, 10, 15s | 12 credits (5s) |
| VEO 3.1 Fast (720p) | 4, 6, 8s; 8s only when starting from a photo | 6 credits (4s text-to-video) |
| Kling 3.0 Pro (1080p) | 5, 10, 15s | 10 credits (5s) |
One limit worth knowing: Seedance rejects image-to-video jobs that start from a photo of a realistic human face (ByteDance's deepfake safeguard). A product photo is fine. Failed jobs are refunded automatically.
A testing plan that costs less than one stock clip
Say you want to know which of three angles works for a skincare serum:
- Generate one 5-second clip per angle in the UGC studio on Seedance 2.0: testimonial, before/after, problem → solution. 3 × 12 = 36 credits ($10.80 on Mini, $6.52 on Business).
- Run them as separate ads with the same budget, audience and placement.
- Judge on cost per purchase or cost per add-to-cart, not views. Give each ad enough spend to produce a meaningful number of conversions before deciding.
- Make more of the winner: new hooks on the same angle, a 10-second version (24 credits), and a 16:9 version via Reframe for YouTube.
To measure whether video pays for itself on a product page, use the e-commerce video ROI worksheet.
Review every ad before it runs
- Product accuracy: shape, colour, label and packaging match the real product in every frame.
- Claims: nothing on screen or in speech promises a result you can't substantiate.
- Hands and faces: no extra fingers, warped faces or mismatched lips in the first three seconds.
- Audio: generated speech says what you intended; turn native audio off if you'll add a voiceover.
- Opinion check (optional): the virality check (2 credits) gives an AI review of the hook, retention risks and suggested changes. Treat it as a second opinion, not a forecast.
Rules that apply to AI ads
- Don't pass off an AI person as a real customer. The US FTC's rule on consumer reviews and testimonials, in effect since October 21, 2024, prohibits reviews and testimonials that misrepresent that they're by someone who doesn't exist, such as AI-generated fake reviews, or by someone without real experience of the product (FTC, August 2024). A UGC-style AI clip can show the product in use, but it shouldn't claim to be a real buyer's experience.
- Label realistic AI content where the platform asks. TikTok requires labels on realistic AI-generated content (TikTok Support), and Meta asks for disclosure on photorealistic AI video in organic posts (Meta). Check each ad platform's current policy before launching.
- No real people without permission. Viralance blocks prompts depicting named public figures, and image-to-video asks you to confirm you have the rights to the photo.
When to use something other than AI generation
- Testimonials: use real customers (with permission) and put AI b-roll around them.
- Regulated products (supplements, cosmetics claims, finance): the review burden can outweigh the speed.
- Long brand films or explainers over a minute: stitching many 5–15 second shots is possible with the Film tool, but a human editor or production team may be faster for a polished result.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make an ad from just a product link? Yes. Link to Ad reads the page and proposes a plan with its credit cost before generating. Review what it pulled from the page before approving.
How much does an AI marketing video cost on Viralance? A 5-second Seedance 2.0 UGC clip is 12 credits and a 10-second one is 24 ($3.60 and $7.20 at the $9 Mini rate). One-photo product templates such as Product Hero cost less; each template page shows its price before you generate.
Is there a done-for-you option? Not at the moment. Viralance's custom brand-video service is paused; all tools described here are self-serve.
Do I own the ads I generate? Viralance's terms state you keep ownership of what you generate. You're responsible for the rights to uploaded material and for your ad claims.
