# Create Your First UGC Avatar Ad

> Generate a realistic UGC-style video ad featuring an AI avatar talking about your product.

UGC (user-generated content) style ads are some of the highest-performing ad formats on Meta. With AdStellar, you can generate UGC-style videos featuring AI avatars — no influencers or creators needed.

## What is a UGC Avatar Ad?

A UGC avatar ad is a video where an AI-generated person talks directly to camera about your product. It looks and feels like authentic creator content, but it's fully generated by AI. You control the script, the avatar, the voice, and the tone.

## Step-by-Step: Create a UGC Avatar Video

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Canvas">
    Click **Canvas** in the left sidebar. Select the **Video Ads** tab, then choose the **UGC Avatar** option.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your Product">
    Pick a product from your catalog, or enter product details manually. This gives the AI context about what the avatar will be talking about.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a Product Image">
    Choose or upload a product image that will be shown in the video alongside the avatar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick an Avatar">
    Browse the avatar gallery and select an AI actor. You can choose from a variety of stock avatars, or create a custom one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write or Generate a Script">
    Write the script the avatar will deliver, or let AI generate one based on your product details. Keep it conversational and authentic — just like a real creator would talk.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a Voice">
    Select a voice that matches the avatar and your brand's tone. You can preview different voices before committing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust Settings">
    Set your preferred video aspect ratio, tone, and any other creative preferences.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate** and wait for your video to render. UGC avatar videos typically take 2–5 minutes to generate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the Preview">
    Watch the preview to check the avatar's delivery, pacing, and script.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Render Final Video">
    For the best quality, click **Render Final Video** to apply pro lip-sync processing. This aligns the avatar's lip movements precisely to the audio for a natural, polished result. Rendering costs additional credits — see [Render Credit Costs](/guides/create/video-ads#render-credit-costs).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download or Save">
    Download the video or save it to your Media Library for use in campaigns.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for Better UGC Ads

* **Keep scripts short and punchy** — 15–30 seconds performs best on Meta. Get to the hook fast.
* **Use natural language** — Write the script like someone is talking to a friend, not reading a press release.
* **Match avatar to audience** — Choose an avatar that resonates with your target demographic.
* **Test multiple avatars** — Different avatars can produce very different results. Try a few and let the data decide.
