AI UGC ad prompts
UGC ads win by looking unpolished. The goal is footage that reads like a real person filmed it on a phone: natural light, a little camera shake, believable delivery. These prompts bake in the anti-ad look so your AI creator does not read as a glossy commercial. Pair them with a consistent character for a repeatable feed.
How to write great UGC ads prompts
Four rules that make the difference between a flat result and a usable one.
Say "handheld phone footage, slight camera shake, natural light". Polishing it kills the UGC effect. The imperfection is the point.
Describe the same person across clips (age, hair, hoodie) so your AI creator becomes recognisable. Consistency builds a believable account.
Add "natural skin, no smoothing, no plastic look". Over-retouched faces are the fastest tell that a UGC clip is synthetic.
The first clip should show the product or the problem immediately. Describe the opening action so the hook lands in the first second.
