FAQ

Questions about product how-to videos

Can one video show several steps in a row?

Keep it to one clear task. At 10, 15 or 30 seconds, steaming a single shirt reads better than a full laundry routine. For a longer guide, make a few clips and join them in your editing app.

Will the video include spoken instructions?

AIVideosUGC does not add voiceover, music, or captions. Record your narration and add it with step text in your editor after download.

Does the video have to match how my product really works?

Yes. Describe the real way your product is used and watch the clip before you post it. If it shows something your product can't do, generate it again with a clearer description.
