Introduction to AI UGC video creation

Creating authentic user-generated content (UGC) has become a game-changer for marketers, but the traditional process can be time-consuming and expensive. Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence, there's now a better way to create engaging UGC-style content at scale. In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to get started with AI UGC, whether you're a tech-savvy creator or someone looking for a simpler solution.


Understanding Your Options for AI UGC Creation

When exploring AI UGC, you'll find there are two main approaches available. Let's examine both so you can make an informed decision for your business.

The Technical Approach: Open Source Models

For developers and technically-inclined creators, platforms like Replicate offer access to open-source AI models such as cog-wav2lip. These tools can generate lip-synced videos from images and audio inputs, giving you granular control over the creation process.

While this approach offers flexibility and customization options, it requires significant technical expertise and time investment. You'll need to handle multiple steps in the generation process and stay updated with the latest model developments.
