What you get
- One vertical 720p MP4, four scenes, about 25 to 32 seconds

- Adult AI actors in everyday settings, your product kept recognisable from the photo
- A scene plan you approve before any generation cost
How it works
1. Choose a product-only photo
Upload one photo of the product on its own. It guides the shape, colours and packaging in every generated scene. Photos with people are not used as references.
2. Describe the ad and choose a language
Name the product, add the claims you can support, and pick one of seven narration languages. Choose a lifestyle, launch or seasonal angle.
3. Review the scene plan before generation
Reelry writes four scenes with narration and optional headlines. You approve or edit the plan first. Generation then costs 2 credits, covered by the $4 entry pack.
4. Download the finished 720p MP4
The result is a vertical MP4 sized for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Check label detail, anatomy and product interactions before publishing, as AI imagery can vary.
Good fit
- Testing hooks and angles before paying a creator for the winning one
- Products with a clear packshot and a simple visual story: skincare, food, drinks, accessories, home goods
- Small brands that need ad variants in several languages without reshooting
Not a fit
- Claims that need visible proof of the real product performing, such as fit, texture or assembly. Film that on a phone instead.
- Customer testimonials. An AI actor can deliver a scripted message, but it must not be presented as a real customer's experience.
- Ads that depend on readable on-screen text, exact UI or third-party brands. Cinematic generation forbids generated typography and de-brands protected marks.
- Ads longer than about 32 seconds or with more than four scenes.
Scripted ads, not reviews: the line the FTC draws
The US Federal Trade Commission's rule on consumer reviews and testimonials, announced in August 2024 and in force since late 2024, prohibits creating, buying or selling fake reviews and testimonials, explicitly including AI-generated ones that misrepresent a reviewer's experience. A generated actor saying "this changed my mornings" as if they were a customer is exactly that. A generated actor delivering a scripted product message, presented as an ad, is not. Reelry's plan review is where you keep the script on the right side of that line.
Practical rules: write the narration as the brand speaking, or as an obviously scripted presenter; never attribute an experience or result to the actor; disclose AI generation where your platform or market requires it. The advertiser is responsible for the claims, however the footage was produced.
What makes UGC-style ads work, and what generated scenes can borrow
Creator ads work because they open on a person and a problem in a real-looking setting, cut fast between the person, the product and the result, and end on the product in hand. Generated scenes can reproduce that structure: an adult in an everyday setting, the product recognisable from your photo, a detail shot, and a closing hero. What they cannot reproduce is a real demonstration or a real reaction, so build the hook on the setting and the claim, not on a testimonial.
Writing the brief for a UGC-style ad
Name the product as it appears on the packaging, state the one claim the ad makes and only a claim you can support, describe the setting and the adult who appears, and give the closing line. Keep each scene to one action. Leave prices and codes to the ad copy; generated typography is switched off.

Example brief
Product: Northwind cold brew concentrate, 500 ml bottle. Claim: one bottle makes ten glasses. Show an adult pouring it over ice at a kitchen counter on a weekday morning, one close-up of the bottle label, and a closing hero shot of the bottle beside a full glass. Narration is the brand speaking; no testimonial.
Angle to pick: Lifestyle story. UGC-style ads open on a person and a moment. The lifestyle angle stages exactly that while keeping the product recognisable.

Questions
Is this real UGC?
No. It is a scripted ad performed by AI-generated actors around your real product photo. Treat it as an ad, disclose AI generation where your platform or market requires it, and never label it as a customer review.
What does one AI UGC ad cost?
One generation uses 2 credits. The $4 one-time pack covers it with no subscription. Further ads use credits from packs or a plan. For comparison, creator UGC platforms list rates from about $100 per video (checked 2026-09-09).
Can I use my own face or a real person?
Not on this workflow. The product-ad reference must be a product-only photo. The separate Photo scenes workflow arranges your supplied photos into a narrated video. It does not synthesize a new performance of the people in those photos.
Which platforms is the output made for?
The MP4 is 9:16 at 720p, the native shape for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Reelry does not post for you; download and upload natively.
What if the ad is wrong?
You review the scene plan before generating, so the script and staging are yours to fix first. If a finished ad has a defect, support can rerun it. AI imagery can still vary in fine detail, so check labels and hands before publishing.
