01

Getting Started

1.What exactly is AI UGC?

AI UGC is user-generated-content-style video created with AI avatars instead of human creators. It replicates the authentic, handheld, creator-review feel that performs best in social ads, but is generated in minutes by software rather than filmed over weeks.

#Getting Started

2.How is AI UGC different from regular UGC?

Regular UGC requires finding creators, shipping products, negotiating rates and waiting for edits. AI UGC skips all of that: you choose an avatar, the AI writes and voices the script, and the video renders in minutes. The output is comparable in ad performance and infinitely faster to iterate.

#Getting Started

3.Do I need any video editing experience to use Klip Kanvas?

No. The entire flow is designed around a product link: the AI builds the brief, script, voiceover and edit automatically. The built-in editor is optional and works like a simplified timeline for trims and swaps.

#Getting Started

4.What do I need to get started?

Just a product URL (Shopify, Amazon, or any landing page) or a product name with a few bullet points about benefits. A free account includes 50 credits — enough to generate and evaluate your first videos.

#Getting Started#Pricing & Credits

5.How long does it take to create my first ad?

Most users go from sign-up to a finished 30-second video ad in under 10 minutes, including avatar selection and script review. Rendering itself takes 3–5 minutes.

AI Avatars

6.How realistic are the AI avatars?

Current-generation avatars are photorealistic: natural micro-expressions, hand gestures, accurate lip-sync and environmental lighting. In blind tests most viewers cannot distinguish them from filmed creators in the context of a social feed.

#AI Avatars

7.How many avatars can I choose from?

The library includes 50+ avatars across ages, ethnicities, styles and settings — car interiors, bathrooms, kitchens, desks and outdoor scenes — with new avatars added monthly.

#AI Avatars

8.Can I create a custom avatar of myself or my founder?

Custom avatar cloning is available on higher-tier plans: record a short consent-verified reference video and the platform builds a private avatar only your workspace can use.

#AI Avatars#Pricing & Credits

9.Can the same avatar appear in multiple videos consistently?

Yes — avatars are persistent characters. You can build a recognisable 'brand creator' by reusing the same avatar across your entire ad account, which also helps retargeting recall.

10.Do avatars support different emotions and energy levels?

Each avatar ships with multiple delivery styles — excited, conversational, calm-expert, storytelling — and the script editor lets you set tone per scene.

Video Generation

11.What video formats and aspect ratios can I export?

9:16 vertical for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, 1:1 square for feeds, and 16:9 for YouTube — all in 1080p, with 4K export on premium plans.

#Video Generation

12.How long can generated videos be?

Ads render best at 15–60 seconds, which covers every paid placement. Longer formats (up to 3 minutes) are supported for organic content and product explainers.

#Video Generation

13.Can I use my own product photos and videos?

Yes. Upload photos or clips and the engine intercuts them as B-roll with the avatar's talking-head scenes. You can also let the AI use the images scraped from your product page.

#Video Generation

14.Are captions added automatically?

Yes — word-by-word animated captions in TikTok-native styles are generated automatically and are fully editable. Keep them on: most social video is watched on mute.

#Video Generation

15.Can I edit the video after it's generated?

Yes. The built-in editor supports trimming scenes, swapping B-roll, changing captions and styles, adjusting pacing and regenerating individual scenes without re-rendering the whole video.

Scripts & Hooks

16.Who writes the ad script?

The AI generates a complete script from your product data — hook, problem, demo beats and CTA — using real customer-review language scraped from your product page. Every line is editable.

#Scripts & Hooks

17.What makes a good hook?

The best hooks create curiosity or pattern-interrupt in the first 2 seconds: negativity flips ('I thought this was a scam'), information gaps ('Why is nobody talking about this?') and specific results ('Day 14 — look at the difference'). Aim for a 30%+ hook rate.

#Scripts & Hooks

18.Can I generate multiple hook variations of the same script?

Yes, and you should — hook variation is the highest-leverage test in paid social. Klip Kanvas generates hook variants of the same body script in one click.

#Scripts & Hooks#Ad Campaigns

19.Can I write my own script instead?

Absolutely. Paste your own script and the avatar will perform it verbatim, or use AI assist to punch up individual lines while keeping your structure.

Pricing & Credits

20.Is there a free plan?

Yes — the free plan includes 50 credits, enough to generate your first AI UGC videos and evaluate quality before upgrading. No credit card required.

#Pricing & Credits

21.How do credits work?

Each generation consumes credits based on video length and resolution. Edits, caption changes and re-exports of an existing video don't consume additional credits; regenerating scenes does.

#Pricing & Credits

22.What's included in paid plans?

Paid tiers add monthly credit allowances, 4K export, custom avatar cloning, team seats, campaign integrations and priority rendering. See the pricing page for current tiers.

#Pricing & Credits

23.Do unused credits roll over?

Credits roll over for one billing cycle on paid plans, so a slow month doesn't waste your allowance.

Ad Campaigns

24.Can I launch ads directly from Klip Kanvas?

Yes. Connect your Meta or TikTok ad account and push creatives into campaigns directly, with naming conventions and tracking parameters applied automatically.

#Ad Campaigns

25.Which platforms do AI UGC ads work best on?

TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook Feed/Reels are the natural habitat — the UGC format is native there. YouTube Shorts and Snapchat also perform well; polished placements like YouTube pre-roll favour more produced formats.

#Ad Campaigns

26.How many creatives should I test at once?

A good starting batch is 6: 3 hooks × 2 avatars on one body script. Launch in a single consolidated ad set with broad targeting and read results after 48–72 hours.

#Ad Campaigns

27.What metrics tell me if a creative is working?

Read them in funnel order: hook rate (3s views ÷ impressions, target 30%+), hold rate (15s ÷ 3s views), CTR (target 1%+ cold), then CPA/ROAS. Each stage diagnoses a different part of the creative.

Languages & Localization

28.How many languages does Klip Kanvas support?

30+ languages for both scripts and voiceovers, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic and Japanese, with native-sounding voices per language.

#Languages & Localization

29.Can I translate a winning ad into other languages?

Yes — one click localises an existing video: the script is translated, the voiceover regenerated and lip-sync adjusted, keeping the same avatar and edit. This is the fastest way to expand winning creatives into new markets.

#Languages & Localization

30.Do the avatars lip-sync correctly in every language?

Lip-sync is regenerated per language rather than dubbed over, so mouth movements match the localised voiceover in all supported languages.

Rights & Compliance

31.Who owns the videos I generate?

You do — every video comes with full commercial rights. Run them on any platform, in any market, with no attribution or additional licensing.

#Rights & Compliance

32.Do I need to disclose that my ad uses AI?

Rules vary by platform and region: Meta and TikTok require disclosure for certain AI-generated content, especially anything resembling real people or in regulated verticals. Klip Kanvas flags placements where disclosure toggles are recommended, but compliance responsibility stays with the advertiser.
