Choose platform presets, visual tone, and voice. Select performance-focused templates like UGC, cinematic, or demo styles to customise your ads with AI so they align with your campaign goals.

Step 3

Fine-tune scenes and messaging

Adjust hooks, CTAs, visuals, and music. Use image to video or face swap to include product shots or talent. Apply lip sync and timing tweaks to improve the delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an AI ad maker and how does it create video ads?

An AI ad maker converts briefs, scripts, or product URLs into production-ready video ads using automated script generation, scene building, voiceover, and rendering. HeyGen’s engine crafts hooks, sequences visuals, and times CTAs to produce both short-form and long-form ads without the need for traditional shooting or manual editing.

How does HeyGen help improve advertising performance?

Can HeyGen create UGC-style or avatar-led ads?

Yes, using AI can significantly improve the effectiveness of your marketing strategies. The platform supports UGC-style edits and highly realistic avatars.

Do I need to shoot or provide any footage to create ads?

No. HeyGen can generate complete ads from links or scripts using AI-generated visuals and licensed stock footage. You can also upload your own assets or product photos to create more authentic product shots through AI image-to-video pipelines.
