Find the Video to Clone

Start by sourcing a high-performing UGC video from TikTok, Instagram Reels, or the Meta Ads Library. Look for videos with proven engagement — these are your winning templates.

💡 Pro Tip: Choose videos under 60 seconds with a single creator talking directly to camera. These clone the cleanest.

Generate Your New Character

Use Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Google ImageFX to create a reference image of your new AI character. Match the general vibe (age, setting, style) of the original for best results.

📸 Prompt example: "A friendly 28-year-old woman holding a skincare bottle in a bright bathroom, natural lighting, smartphone selfie style, photorealistic, 4K"

Save this image — you'll use it as the character reference for every clip to maintain consistency.

  • Cut on scene changes or natural pauses

Prompt structure: [Character from ref image] + [specific action] + [camera angle] + [setting] + [emotion] + [duration]

Generate and iterate until the first clip perfectly matches the pacing and motion of the original.
