## Summary

The video demonstrates how to create realistic AI-generated video ads for dropshipping stores using a combination of AI tools like Arcads, Google Gemini, Kling Pro, and CapCut. The creator shows a Shopify store that scaled past $105K using these AI creatives, and walks through the entire workflow step-by-step. It emphasizes that the ads look as real as human UGC and can be replicated for any product.

### Key Points

- **AI UGC is a game changer** [00:14] — Most brands still use real UGC creators or low-quality AI-generated ads, but the creator has developed a workflow that produces realistic AI video ads while printing consistent results.
- **No crazy tools required** [00:43] — The process uses accessible tools and includes a free slide deck with all prompts, step-by-step tutorials, and ideas. The creator asks for 1,000 likes in return.
- **Proof of store results** [01:12] — The Shopify store went from zero to over $105,000 in the new year, with orders fulfilled and average order value stable. The ad account labels the creatives as 'AI creatives,' confirming the ads are AI-generated.
- **Find winning reference ads** [02:42] — Use a spy tool like Winning Hunter to search for the product, filter by Shopify, language, and ad spend, then switch media type to images to find the best-performing competitor images.
- **Minus is a cheat code for prompts** [08:11] — Feed a product link to Minus and ask it to generate prompts and shot ideas for an animated image ad. This works for any product and simplifies the creative process.
- **Refine prompts with Gemini** [09:05] — Upload the Arcads-generated image to Google Gemini, instruct it to act as a prompt expert and remake the image, then request only the video prompt to use in a video maker.
- **Generate videos in Arcads** [09:56] — In Arcads, go to the video section, select the model (Kling Pro or VO31), set resolution to 1080p, aspect ratio 9:16, and upload the reference image. Running both models gives different outputs.
- **Chain scenes seamlessly** [11:24] — Take a screenshot of the ending scene of the first video, upload it to Gemini to get the next prompt, and use that screenshot as the reference image for the second scene to create a continuous shot.
- **AI-generated ad copy** [12:27] — Send screenshots of the best-performing competitor image ads to Gemini and ask for 9:16 text for the top and bottom, giving you headlines, subheadings, and hooks to use in your ad.
- **Edit in CapCut** [13:02] — Create a new project in CapCut, upload the first scene, mute the audio, add a text template, and adjust the text size and position to fit the frame. Use AI-generated hooks as text overlays.
- **Add sound effects and refine timing** [15:54] — Add a whoosh sound effect at the point where the mask lifts, and adjust text timing so the bottom text appears after the top text finishes, making the ad feel more dynamic.
- **Create multiple ad variations** [19:04] — Ask Gemini for several different style concepts like skin scanner, pulse, x-ray effect, and others. This generates new prompts to create multiple versions of the animated video ad.

### Conclusion

By combining a spy tool for reference, AI image and video generators, and CapCut for editing, anyone can create realistic-looking AI video ads that convert well. The key is iterating on prompts, chaining scenes logically, and using proven ad copy with strong calls to action.

## Transcript

These ads look completely real, but the crazy part is neither of them are real. And the next crazy part is these are the exact same style of AI video as we're running on a brand new drop shipping store that's gone from zero to over a
hundred thousand dollars since [music] 2026. Over the last few months I've been testing different AI UGC workflows for my own Shopify drop shipping stores. And what I found is honestly a game changer.
Because right now most big winners and brand owners are using real UGC content creators still for their [music] ads, or they're using some really bad looking AI that looks terrible. Whilst ours is printing like a machine. And I'm not
going to be using any crazy tools or softwares. Literally anyone from a tutorial. And I'm also going to make your life even easier guys cuz I'm giving you a slide deck that's going to contain all the prompts, all the
step-by-step tutorials in a slide deck. only thing that I ask for in return is just a thousand likes. So guys, before I show you how to create your own AI video ads like I just shown you, let me show you the proof. So this is our Shopify
store, and we took it from zero in January to over a hundred and five dollars in this new year. And this store is an AI drop shipping store. We've done shown you, have all been done with AI and you can see orders fulfilled versus
orders so you know it's a real store. You can see the average order value going to stay the same. I'm also going to be showing you guys our ad account to show you that our names of our creatives are AI creatives so you know that we're
me show you how to make this. First thing that you're going to need to do free. I've also made these cool cartoon looking things which I think is really
got these cool animations and text on it. Now technically it's a video cuz still converting really really well. Then on the other side we're doing AI
are converting extremely well. Now whilst you guys get access to this, if we scroll up I've even gone over all the benefits of why AI UGC is really good guys understand the power. So the product that I'm going to be using as
the example for the static image animation ad is going to be the LED And it's kind of a hard one to do so it shows you how you can do this with pretty much any type of product cuz this one is very hard to do it with. So this
thing that we're going to need to do guys is find a reference ad from a competitor. Now the best way to do this is find the best converting images in it from the ads that are making the most money. Now the best way to do this is to
use a spy tool. Now I'm using Winning Hunter to do this. Now Winning Hunter is search bar and type in the name of my product. So I typed in red light mask and I can click search. Then what I can also do is change the technology over to
Shopify. I can change the language to English. I can change it from last seen to ad spend. That way I'm seeing the best ads running for the product. And been run for the product. Now again, we need an image for this to work and all
of these are videos. So we can go over to where it says media type and we can images that are the best performing images for this product on the ad spy tool. So you can see all of these images coming up, which is exactly what we
wanted to make a quick announcement. If you've been looking for the best one-to-one mentoring for your e-commerce and drop shipping experience, then
you're in the right place. The amount of people that reach out to me on Instagram or comment on the video saying, "Do you have one-to-one mentoring? Can I work with you?" Then yes guys, I do offer a one-to-one mentorship. And it isn't just
for over seven years. And our track record is proven. We have some of the mentorship. We're one of the only few companies that still offer one-to-one
mentoring and we're one of the first companies to ever do it. So if you're you from the very beginning, finding a winning product, building the store, have the confidence to run your store without worrying about, "Am I doing it
correctly?" Your mentor will figure that out with you. He will turn you into a drop shipping professional within 30 days. I can guarantee that the mentoring
that we offer in our company is the highest quality of education in the know a lot of you guys have been asking for it. So if you want to apply for one-on-one mentorship, there'll be a link in the comment and there'll be a QR
code on the screen so you can apply. But before you apply guys, only apply if you're serious and you have a good budget. We only want to work with people that have a good mindset and a good budget so it doesn't slow them down
through the process. Our most successful
for your own product, the best thing you can do is head over to Minus, give it recreate these type of image static animation ads but for my product." You
supplier link. It could be any product link that is your product. And then you can say to it, "I want you to come up with the prompts and the ideas to create it into an image static animation ad." Then what Minus will do is it will read
all that information and then it will tell you what shots and what scenes to do. So this is literally a cheat code if you want to do this to any product. And that's literally what I've been doing to create all of mine. Get Minus to come up
product. Okay, so now once you guys have got your prompts like I have, we can made us this perfect image, which is exactly what we needed. This is the
download that image. Then the next prompt we're going to use guys is the Gemini. So it says, "Act as a prompt expert. I want you to remake this image.
laser going over the ghost face." Now we need to upload the image from ar cards to Gemini and then we can click send. So as you guys can see, it's made the image
style. So this is the image it's made. Now technically we don't need this. So about it giving you the image first, at least you know the type of idea Google's
going to get from the prompt when we give it to a video maker. Although we Google's thinking about. So now we can say to it, "I just need the prompt to
make it into a video, not the photo. So, now it's going to give us the prompt to back to Arcads, we can go to video. I can then go to where it says settings. I can go to model. Now, you can use VO31, or you can use Kling Pro. Now, the two
best options are Kling Pro and VO31. I always make both of them using the two models, because depending on the two models, you get different outputs. So, I more credit, but sometimes one model outperforms the other. But, they are the
two best models right now. So, I'm going to use VO31 now. I'm going to change the resolution to 1080p. I'm going to do 9 by 16. I'm then the reference image. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to click send.
to Kling Pro and do the exact same thing. Upload the reference image and then click send. That way we've got both models coming up with the ideas. So,
guys, this is the first result that I got from Arcads. Now, it might take a few goes to get the perfect outcome. Now, this is after two attempts, I got this shot here, which I really, really like. So, this is like an animated video
image. So, I'm going to download this one, guys, cuz it's the perfect first scene. So, this is scene one. Now, for scene two, you want to take a print screen of the ending scene. So, this is the end scene. So, we've took a print
screen of that, because we're now going to use that as the next reference image, go back to Gemini, upload the end of scene one, and you're going to put this is the end of scene one. What should I now do for scene two, as it's meant to
be an animated image video that makes the benefits of the red light therapy. So, Google Gemini's given me the next prompt. So, now we've gone back to Arcads, we've uploaded the prompt, and now we're also going to upload the
reference image, which is the screenshot of scene one. So, that then the next video takes on after that, so it looks like it's an all-in-one shot of an animated video image. Now, whilst we're waiting for this to be made, guys,
to take a screenshot of a few of the best image ads that are showing up in this one here. I'm going to take a screenshot of this one here. And I'm
also going to take a screenshot of this one here. So, guys, what we wanted to do come up with our own text to add to the ad, because we're going to add text to
they're the best performing, and they're about our product. So, we want to use what's working well for our ad. So, you go back to Gemini, and I've sent it the these three images. Text should be 9 by 16 ratio, and I want text for the top
and for the bottom." And now you can see it's given me headlines, it's given me with the ideas ourselves. So, what we can now do, guys, whilst we wait for that second shot to get made, is we can go over to CapCut. Now, CapCut is where
we're going to edit this ad, and we're going to go to where it says create new. to upload that first shot that we got, which is this one here. We're then going audio on this, so we're going to mute it. And then we're going to go over to
take one of these templates. Try not to go for anything crazy, guys, because pretty good. And then we can add the text above, and we're going to want to
add it around about this size. And then what we can do is we can go back to Gemini where our hooks are, and we can take spa-grade rejuvenation at home, go back to CapCut, and change it here. And we can crop the first bit to be
spa-grade, and then we can do the subheading as rejuvenation. Then what we can do, guys, is we can scale this down so that it fits into the frame. So, I'm going to go from the text being 15 to 13. And then what I can do is I can
realign this. So, now I can play the ad, and now you can see where the mask's going to end up. So, you can see we can move this up a little bit higher. So, and now I can play this again. Now, what I'd recommend that you guys do is just
play with the text. You can just do basic text. Now, you can play with a different style, so I can take this style this time and use this one for the Then I can recenter this like that, guys.
So, maybe I'll make this 18. And then what I can do, guys, is I can play that again. And then what you can do is you can make this the whole time,
next text here. The next text I'm going to take is the claim. So, I'm going to Now, for this one, guys, I'm going to make it really simple.
top. I'm going to put this one at the bottom. And now I'm going to copy and paste this. And then I'm going to get rid of that text, cuz it's too much. And that, guys, and put it in. I can paste the new text.
put this near the bottom. Now, what I can do is make this bigger. And then I want to make sure the font is the same, guys. So, for this one. So, guys, we've got the one at the top here, which is spa-grade
what it helps with. And now you can see if we play them together. Now, what you can do is you can actually make the bottom one come in a little bit later on. So, for example, we can do it like this.
So, when that one finishes, that one comes in. So, you see how the end of at starts. So, that looks really, really good to me. We need to add a little bit of a background noise, but we can do that in a minute. So, for this ad, I'm
effects. I'm going to do whoosh. That deep whoosh I like a lot, so I'm going going to play it. So, just there is where I'm going to
play it, cuz that's when the mask starts to lift. put it a little bit earlier in. I'm going to make this a little bit la- less
decibels. Now, we can play it from the start. I'm going to make this big screen so you guys can see it, the first shot.
Now, this is shot two that it made. Now, this one's not perfect, because the light should technically be basically going on her face, not on her neck. But, her face, which is really, really good. Now, for me to fix that, guys, I just
need to regenerate the video again, because again, each generation, you're been perfect if it didn't show the red light on her neck, but more on her face. that clip again, I'm just going to use it as it is. So, now I'm going to go
back to CapCut. I'm going to go to media, upload, upload file. that next clip in. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to mute the clip, them to see if they sync nicely. So, if they sync nicely, it's probably going to
have to start there. So, let's move it back. We can actually crop [snorts] this all the way down. So, basically, I can have it like this. So, I've just cropped that one down. So, now what I can do is, guys, have it
just like this. That looks good to me, guys. So, what I can do is I can take the text from the bottom, and I can just make it longer. So, that text stays on the video. And then what I can do is I can just change this text by copying it
over, bringing it over here. Making it a bit shorter. And now I can add the call to action. Now, I can go back to CapCut, go to this one, and just change the text. So, see the difference clinically proven technology makes.
Then I'm going to put it in lowercase, shop 40 percent
next sound effect. We can add this one now in. As the mask drops, we can put So, that's just one quick example of me showing you how you can make these
animated image video ads that work really, really well. Now, you guys are effects that you use, making sure the clips look really, really good. But, as creation maybe twice over, you're going to get the perfect scenes where they
look really, really good, like this one that I showed you. Now, what you can do to make more versions of this, guys, is you can go back to Gemini, and you can say, "I want to now make multiple versions of these animated image video
ads." And it will give you another three variations. So, technically, this is variation number one. And now what you can do is you can go back over to Gemini and say, "Now I need another option." So, I can
now go to Gemini and say, "I've made video one based on those two prompts. Now, I want to come up with another style of animated image video ad." And created me option number two, which is the deep layer activation style. So, you
given me option two. So, now I'm going to go back to Gemini and say, "With five get five totally different styles. So, you can see option one, the skin
scanner. So, this This tech forward. Option two, the pulse, option three, the x-ray effect, and option four. So, now what we can do, guys, is based on which option we want. So, let's say, for example, I like the sound of option
three, I can go back and say, "Option three." So, now you can see that it's made me the two prompts for that next image animated video. Now, I'm also going to tell it, "I need a prompt." So, I've Now, I've said I need the image
me the image prompt. So, what I can do is I can take this, I can go back over to Arcads, I can go back to image, I can upload a reference image of the product.
I can upload the reference image of the product. Now, it can be the one where she's lying down, it can be the one where it's on a white background, and then turn into those animated videos so that you can make more video ads like
this. Now, the key to these type of ads, guys, is when you're making them, you spa grade renovation at home, reduce signs of aging, no appointment needed.
Then I did the call to action, see the difference, shop now, 40% off. So, you can just play with those as well. But, essentially, guys, that is how you make those style of AI video image animated ads. I know that's a bit of a waffle,
but that is how you make them. And it can be done with any product that you're being said, guys, don't forget to destroy the like button, and I'll see you guys in the next video.
