AI Video for TikTok
TikTok rewards volume — the accounts that grow are the ones posting daily, and the ads that work are the ones that look like a creator filmed them on a phone. That's also the bottleneck: filming yourself (or paying a creator) for every product, every hook variation and every angle doesn't scale past a few posts a week.
Hermosso generates the clip instead. Start from a product photo or a product link, pick an AI creator, write the script — or take one of five free script suggestions — and get a vertical 9:16 talking video that reads as native UGC. For product and scene clips without a spokesperson, the reference-to-video engine builds up to 30 seconds straight from your images.
The workflow
- Start from the product — upload a photo, or paste a product link and the image is pulled from the page.
- Pick a creator — an agency avatar, your own AI persona, or a face generated on the spot.
- Write the script — or generate five options in different tones, free, and edit the one you like. Scripts run up to ~30 seconds of speech.
- Render vertical — 9:16 is the default output, ready to post. Generate up to four variants in a batch and keep the one that performs.
What it costs
Video is billed per second of output, so a short hook clip costs a fraction of a long one: talking video is 100 credits per second at 480p (200 at 720p), lipsync is 100–150 credits per second, and reference-to-video is 250 credits per second at 480p or 500 at 720p — a 15-second vertical 720p clip is 7,500 credits. Still image ads start at 100 credits. New accounts get 750 free credits on signup, and plans start at $9/month for 5,000 credits.

Can AI make TikTok videos in the right format?
Yes — 9:16 vertical is the default output of the UGC Ads studio and the reference-to-video engine, so clips come out ready to post without cropping or resizing.
How long can an AI TikTok video be?
Talking videos run up to about 30 seconds of speech (~75 words), and the reference-to-video engine generates 5 to 30 seconds per clip. For longer content, generate several clips and cut them together.
How much does a 15-second AI video cost?
At 720p vertical, reference-to-video is 500 credits per second — so 15 seconds is 7,500 credits; at 480p it's half that. Talking video is 100–200 credits per second. New accounts get 750 free credits, and the Starter plan is $9/month for 5,000 credits.
Do I need to film myself or hire a creator?
No. The creator, the setting, the delivery and the product shots are all generated — you supply the product and the message. You can also train an AI persona of yourself and have that deliver the script.
