- 0:00Oh my god. Forget the sauce.
- 0:01>> Forget the heat.
- 0:03>> Forget the vitamins. Forget knitting.
- 0:05>> Yo, forget the pizza. Have you heard of
- 0:0711 Labs?
- 0:08>> You need to try 11 Labs. 11 Labs.
- 0:11>> Have you heard of 11 Labs?
- 0:14>> Use 11 Labs.
- 0:16>> Try 11 Labs today.
- 0:18>> The UGC ad that you just saw was made
- 0:20entirely with AI in a few minutes. And
- 0:21you're about to learn how to make your
- 0:23own AI UGC ads holding your product with
- 0:25Nano Banana Pro, Vio 3.1, Cling 2.6, six
- 0:28and 11 Labs, including exactly what
- 0:30prompts to use for the best results.
- 0:32Now, the very first thing we need to do
- 0:33to create our AIUGC ads is create the
- 0:35actors within them. And to do that,
- 0:37we're going to be using 11 Labs. And to
- 0:38get started, you can click the first
- 0:40link in the description down below.
- 0:41Inside of 11 Labs, you just want to go
- 0:42ahead and use the image and video tool.
- 0:44And this is going to be the tool that
- 0:45we're going to use to create all the
- 0:46assets we need for our AI UGC ad. Now,
- 0:49here what we want to do is simply
- 0:50describe the AI actor that we want to
- 0:52generate in the prompt box below. And
- 0:54so, I'm simply going to paste my prompt.
- 0:56And we want to make sure that we select
- 0:57the Nano Banana Pro model as it's the
- 0:59best image model when it comes to
- 1:00generating realistic humans for AI UGC
- 1:04ads. Now, within my prompt, I'm simply
- 1:06describing the AI actor. So, I've got a
- 1:08young woman with natural skin texture,
- 1:09no makeup, wearing comfortable yoga
- 1:11clothes, standing in a sunny white
- 1:12kitchen. So, I'm describing the
- 1:14character and also the setting in which
- 1:16it's in. But now, one very important
- 1:18thing when it comes to creating the AIGC
- 1:20ad is at the beginning here I've added
- 1:22phone, front, camera, selfie. Because
- 1:24when it comes to making UGC content,
- 1:27which stands for user generated content,
- 1:29it's often phoned on a phone. And so we
- 1:31want to include this when it comes to
- 1:32generating. And now here, once we've
- 1:34selected Nano Banana Pro, we also want
- 1:36to go ahead and change this to 9x6
- 1:39because I want to create 9x6 vertical
- 1:41UGC ads, but you can create any aspect
- 1:43ratio you like. I'm going to leave the
- 1:45resolution at 2K. And then I'm going to
- 1:47create four variations just so we've got
- 1:49a few different ones to choose from.
- 1:50Now, here we simply click generate. And
- 1:52when it comes to creating your UGC ads,
- 1:54sometimes having a compilation of a
- 1:56bunch of different characters is great,
- 1:58with each different character delivering
- 2:00a different line to the script. So,
- 2:02here's a few different examples of
- 2:03characters that we generated. And as you
- 2:05can see, now we've got the four
- 2:06different images that we've generated
- 2:08for our UGC AI actor. And so, I want to
- 2:10go ahead and use this third one right
- 2:12here because I think it's best. But now,
- 2:14what we need to do is place the product
- 2:16within the hands of this AI actor. And
- 2:18we're also going to be using Nano Banana
- 2:20Pro to do that. And so here what you
- 2:21want to do is click and drag your image,
- 2:23drop it into image references, and then
- 2:25here for the second reference image, you
- 2:26want to upload the image of your
- 2:28product. But here's a quick tip to get
- 2:30some better results. Now, for the
- 2:31purpose of this video, we've generated a
- 2:33fake product, which is the 111 vitamins.
- 2:36And to get more realistic results, we
- 2:37simply want to upload our product image
- 2:40as an image reference. And then I like
- 2:42to use the prompt create a 3x3 grid of
- 2:44different angles of this product. Then
- 2:46we go and change this to 16x9.
- 2:49And then we simply click generate. And
- 2:52the reason I do this is because it
- 2:54generates realistic looking different
- 2:55angles of the product. And then when it
- 2:57comes to placing it in a new
- 2:59environment, Nano Banana Pro is a lot
- 3:00more likely to adjust the angle of the
- 3:02product to match the AI actor while
- 3:05still looking realistic. Whereas if we
- 3:08only give it one angle and then it has
- 3:09to place it at a different angle, it
- 3:12might look a little different. And so
- 3:13this is just a quick tip to getting
- 3:15better results quicker. And now we've
- 3:17got 3x3 product grid references that we
- 3:20can use to place the product to make it
- 3:22look better in the hands of our AI
- 3:23actor. So we go and drag and drop the AI
- 3:26actor as the image reference. Again,
- 3:28still using Nano Banana. Then we go and
- 3:30drag the product grid reference as the
- 3:33second reference image. And the prompt
- 3:35I'm going to use is place the 111
- 3:37product in the influencers's hand. Match
- 3:39the lighting of the product to the
- 3:41environment. The reason I include this
- 3:43second part right here is because
- 3:45sometimes the generation will look a
- 3:47little bit strange because it doesn't
- 3:49look like the product fits into the
- 3:51environment because the lighting is
- 3:52different. Whereas, if you include this,
- 3:53you're a lot more likely to get the
- 3:54result you're looking for. Now, what we
- 3:56need to do is make sure we go ahead and
- 3:58set the aspect ratio back to 9x6 because
- 4:00we want it vertical. And here, I'm going
- 4:02to set the resolution to 4K because once
- 4:05we generate this image, we're going to
- 4:06use this image to generate the videos.
- 4:09And when creating AI videos, the better
- 4:11the input, the better the output. So we
- 4:13want the highest quality resolution for
- 4:15that start frame. And so as you can see
- 4:17here, we've got the lighting on the back
- 4:18which is coming through the window at
- 4:20the back. And so it matches the
- 4:21environment a little bit better. Whereas
- 4:23here, it doesn't necessarily look like
- 4:25there's lighting on the product. And so
- 4:26here, you simply want to choose the
- 4:28image where the AI edit of placing the
- 4:30product in the influencers's hand looks
- 4:32the most real. And once you have the one
- 4:34you like, you can click on video. And
- 4:36this takes us to the video model and it
- 4:38sets the image holding the product as
- 4:41the start frame. And so here we're going
- 4:43to go ahead and choose the model VO3.1.
- 4:46We're going to change the resolution to
- 4:481080p because we want to output high
- 4:49quality. And I'm going to change the
- 4:51duration to 8 seconds so it's got enough
- 4:53time to deliver the script that I'm
- 4:54going to give it. And to do that, we're
- 4:55going to include the script in our
- 4:57prompt. So here, if I paste this prompt
- 4:59UGC star video of young woman walking
- 5:01through her house showcasing the 111
- 5:03product into the camera and speaking.
- 5:04And then here from this point on is
- 5:06where I include the script. And now
- 5:09you'll notice here I've also included
- 5:11again the product name. And this is
- 5:12because AI video models take into
- 5:14account the prompt for every single
- 5:15frame of the video. And so if ever the
- 5:17influencer moves around or moves the
- 5:18product, Google VO3.1 is still going to
- 5:21know that the product is called 111. And
- 5:24then here, the reason I've included
- 5:25walking through her house is just so the
- 5:27video is a little bit more engaging. And
- 5:29we do want to make sure that we have
- 5:30audio toggled on. And then once we've
- 5:32done that, we just simply click
- 5:34generate.
- 5:34>> I was scared to try it cuz caffeine
- 5:36makes me super anxious. But um this is
- 5:38actually really nice. It's quiet. My
- 5:40brain just feels organized.
- 5:42>> And so as you can see now, we've
- 5:43generated the full AI UGC clip that we
- 5:46need for our ad of the AI influencer
- 5:48holding our product. And it looks great.
- 5:50The product looks good, the lighting
- 5:52looks good, and we're walking through
- 5:53the house, which makes the video a lot
- 5:55more engaging and dynamic. And you can
- 5:56go through and just use the one clip or
- 5:58you can go ahead and rinse and repeat
- 6:00this process. So, you've got multiple
- 6:01clips from different AI influencers. But
- 6:03to finish it and to make your ad look
- 6:04extra nice, we can go ahead and add an
- 6:07end screen. And then I'll show you how
- 6:08to bring it all together. And that end
- 6:10screen, the motion design one, is also
- 6:12created inside of 11 Labs. And this
- 6:14time, we're using Nano Banana Pro and
- 6:15Cling 2.6. And so to do that, we're
- 6:18going to swap back to image. We're going
- 6:19to scroll down back to the reference
- 6:21grid of our product. I'm going to drag
- 6:22this one in as the image reference. And
- 6:24then I'm going to use the prompt create
- 6:26a sleek looking product reveal motion
- 6:27design video clip of the 111 product.
- 6:29And the reason here I'm asking for a
- 6:31video clip even though it's for the
- 6:34image model is because it will look much
- 6:36more like the frame of a video. And so
- 6:40here I simply go ahead and change the
- 6:41resolution. Again we want to make this
- 6:434K. Click generate. And as you can see
- 6:45it generates these cool frames that look
- 6:47like they are pulled from a motion
- 6:49design ad. And here you can go and edit
- 6:51them by adding more prompts or actually
- 6:53tweaking the prompt. But if I scroll
- 6:55down and show you the previous one I
- 6:56had. I really like this one right here.
- 6:58And so I would go to video, drag this
- 7:00and use it at the start frame, and this
- 7:02time change it to cling 2.6 because
- 7:05cling 2.6 is much better at generating a
- 7:07motion graphics, motion design feel. And
- 7:10so the prompt I would use would simply
- 7:12be slow motion design. And as you can
- 7:14see, we've got this nice looking product
- 7:15end screen that we can stick on the end
- 7:17of our ad. And now to bring it all
- 7:19together, if I go on to the UGC video
- 7:23that we generated. If I click on edit in
- 7:25studio, we're then taken into the studio
- 7:28editor where we can actually go and
- 7:29import the rest of our generations. So I
- 7:31place the playhead at the end, click on
- 7:33video here. I click on the plus icon and
- 7:36now the previous generation is also
- 7:39imported into the timeline. And then if
- 7:41we generated a bunch of other UGC AI
- 7:43actors, we could also go and import
- 7:45those. And within Studio, we could then
- 7:47generate some music to bring it all
- 7:48together by simply describing what we
- 7:50want, clicking generate, and then
- 7:52importing it into our project. And now
- 7:54we have the background music. All so you
- 7:56can get something that looks a little
- 7:58bit like this.
- 7:58>> I was scared to try it cuz caffeine
- 8:00makes me super anxious. But um this is
- 8:02actually really nice. It's quiet. My
- 8:05brain just feels organized.
- 8:11And that is how to make AIGC ads with 11
- 8:14Labs. If you have any questions, let us
