AI UGC Video Generator
Canvasvid is the AI UGC video generator for D2C brands and ad agencies who need 10–50 ad variants per week to feed the Meta and TikTok algorithm. Pick a synthetic creator, describe your product, and AI writes the script in a proven copywriting framework, casts the voice, generates product B-roll, and renders a 9:16 vertical ad with word-pop captions burnt in. Built for paid social — not corporate explainer.

The complete creative pipeline — not just the talking head
Most AI UGC tools give you the synthetic creator and stop there — you still have to write the script, source product B-roll, design captions, and stitch it all together. That's the bottleneck on iteration speed for paid-social teams who need 10-50 fresh variants per week.
Canvasvid ships the whole pipeline. Describe your product, pick a framework + creator + setting, and AI handles the script (in a proven copywriting framework), the voice (paired to the creator's vibe), the B-roll cuts (product in context), and the final render (9:16 vertical, word-pop captions burnt in). One credit spend = one shippable ad variant.
How it works — 8 steps from prompt to shippable ad
- 1
Describe your product
One paragraph — what it is, who it's for, why it's different. The AI uses this to write the script in your chosen framework.
- 2
Pick the ad framework
5 proven copywriting frameworks. PAS for cold traffic, BAB for transformation products, testimonial for skeptical niches, demo for visual products, comparison for switching campaigns.
- 3
Cast your synthetic creator
12 curated avatars across gender, age, and vibe. Each comes with a paired voice tuned to their on-camera energy — Sophia's dorm-room hype, Marcus's measured tech-reviewer cadence, Olivia's mom-friendly warmth.
- 4
Set the scene
Kitchen counter. Cozy bedroom. Bathroom skincare shelf. Walking outside at golden hour. Car commute. Minimalist studio. The setting drives the talking-head backdrop AND the product B-roll cuts.
- 5
AI writes the script
Hook (3s) → problem → solution → proof → CTA, in your creator's voice. First-person, contractions, ≤14-word sentences. No corporate phrases. Reads like a real creator on TikTok.
- 6
AI renders the ad
Talking-head shots interleaved with product B-roll. Word-pop captions burnt in (autoplay-muted feeds demand it). 9:16 vertical native. Hard cuts on the beat for that Meta-native pacing.
- 7
Generate variants
Same product, different framework + creator + setting. The Meta algorithm needs 10-50 variants per week. We make that the unit you spend credits on.

12 curated synthetic creators
Each creator has a paired voice tuned to their on-camera vibe. The same creator can read 50 ad variants — coherent persona, zero retakes.
5 proven ad frameworks
Direct-response copywriting, not corporate explainer. Each framework drives a different Claude prompt so the script actually reads like a working ad in that style.
Highest-converting default for cold Meta traffic. Identify the pain, twist the knife, reveal the fix.
Where you are → where you'll be → how to cross. Best for transformation products (skincare, fitness, productivity apps).
Reads like an honest creator review, not an ad. Best for trust-building in skeptical niches (supplements, courses, software).
Show-don't-tell. Live product narration with B-roll cuts. Best for visual products (apps, gadgets, kitchen tools).
Old way vs new way. Direct, opinionated. Best for switching campaigns or competitive positioning.

FAQ
How is this different from Arcads or Creatify?
Arcads gives you the talking head, you write the script. Canvasvid writes the script in a proven copywriting framework, casts the creator with the right voice, generates product B-roll cuts, and renders the final ad — the complete creative pipeline. Same monthly price tier, more shipped per credit.
Are the creators real people?
No — every creator is a curated synthetic avatar. That's the point: same 'creator' can read 50 ad variants without scheduling, retakes, or licensing fees. The voice is paired to the avatar's vibe so each persona reads as coherent across scripts.
Will the captions burn in?
Yes. Word-pop captions (one word at a time, syllable-timed) are mandatory — Meta and TikTok feeds autoplay muted. The captions are part of the rendered MP4, not a sidecar SRT.
What ad frameworks should I pick?
PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution) is the highest-converting default for cold Meta traffic. BAB (Before-After-Bridge) wins for transformation products (skincare, fitness, productivity apps). Testimonial wins for skeptical niches (supplements, courses, software). Demo wins for visual products. Comparison wins for switching campaigns.
Can I generate multiple variants?
Yes — and you should. The Meta algorithm rewards creative diversity. Same product, different framework + creator + setting = a fresh variant. Each variant costs credits per second of output, so a 30-second variant runs about $1-2 depending on your tier.
What aspect ratios?
9:16 vertical (Reels / TikTok / Stories) is the default. We also support 1:1 (Meta feed / Instagram square) and 16:9 (YouTube ads / in-stream). The captions and pacing are tuned for vertical first.
Can I upload my own product photo?
Yes — optional. If you upload a photo, the B-roll cuts incorporate it directly. If you don't, AI renders product imagery from your description. Both paths produce shippable ads.
Does it work for SaaS / digital products?
Yes. For SaaS the B-roll is screen-recording-style imagery (UI shots, dashboards, onboarding flows) instead of physical product. The script frameworks (especially Testimonial and Demo) are tuned for both physical and digital products.
