UGC-style videos let you come up with ads using AI influencers tailored to your brand, product, or service. They look just like the ones you see on Instagram Reels or TikTok, where creators rave about products in a natural, engaging way. Now you're the creator, and you have a whole cast of influencers ready to churn out ads for you.
Here’s how to do it:
Log in to your Zeely account: https://app.zeely.ai/
In the left menu, go to Creative tools, then open Video ads and choose UGC-style video.
Pick an asset from the list, or upload your own if you want something different.
Then pick out an image from the existing options or bring in your own.
Choose a reference. You could pick from Fashion try-on, Service showcase, Product showcase, or Digital demo. This sets how you'll come across. If you're not sure what works best, just leave the reference window blank, and AI will analyze your product and sort it out for you.
Keep the avatar from your reference or swap it out for a new one. To change the AI actor, click on it and pick a new face from the library. Filter by gender, age, or ethnicity to find the right fit. You can also create your own AI avatar.
The Use button will replace your actor.
Want to save one for later? Hover over any avatar to reveal the heart icon in the top-right corner and tap it. That avatar will then go straight to your favorites.
Add your own prompt, or leave the field as is.
Choose your settings:
AI model (Nano Banana Pro or Nano Banana 2)
Output, which defines how many start images will be generated
Click Create start image and wait for the base visual to generate (usually under a minute). Stay on the page.
Once the image is ready, click Create video.
Set up your video to make sure it meets your vision.
Start with general settings:
Write or generate a script for your AI influencer to speak
Select the AI model for video generation
Want more control? Turn on the toggle and write a prompt to guide the video creation or adjust the reference; you can also leave it empty, and Zeely will analyze your reference and assets to create the video automatically
Choose the tone of voice
Pick an emotion
Adjust accent
Then, jump to Captions:
Move the toggle left to turn captions off, or right to turn them on
Choose their position in the frame: top, center, or bottom
Find the perfect color for them, select a standard shade, or click on the color wheel to find the one you want
Click Create video and wait. Most videos are ready in under 10 minutes.
Go to Projects → Video tab to find your finished video. Anyway, Zeely will notify you when the video is ready.
