Turn existing raw clips into UGC-style ad concepts
If you already have raw clips, creator footage, product shots, event recordings, you may be able to turn them into UGC-style ads. This page maps how that workflow can look.
From raw clips to ad-ready cuts
Raw footage you already paid for is an asset. With selection, pacing, captions and hooks, it can become several UGC-style ads and variations without a new shoot.
The work moves from filming to editing and scripting, which is where the cost and time sit in this approach.
Estimate the editing-led cost
Because this approach reuses footage, the main costs are editing and scripting. Enter your editing hours, editor rate and script cost in the calculator to estimate the cost of turning raw footage into usable ads.
If this is a frequent need, a raw-footage-to-UGC workflow may reduce the manual assembly.
