1
Write the script and shot list
Define your audience, offer and tone, then have the AI draft a short script with a hook in the first 3 seconds. Example prompt: Write a 20-second TikTok ad for a streetwear hoodie brand aimed at 18-25 year olds, with a hook, 4 shots and a call to action.
Why these tools
ChatGPT turns your brand details into a tight script and shot list in minutes.
Expected output
A 20-second script with a 3-second hook, 4 shots and a call to action.
2
Create on-model visuals
Upload your garment photos and generate images of models wearing them in the settings your script calls for. Pick the best 4-6 images that match your shot list.
Why these tools
OnModel gives you realistic model imagery without a photoshoot.
Expected output
4-6 on-model images matched to your shot list.
3
Generate the base ad video
Feed your images and script into the ad generator to produce a first vertical video with motion, music and scene transitions. Generate two or three versions so you can test which hook works best.
Why these tools
Creatify is designed to turn images and a script into a short vertical ad quickly.
Expected output
Two or three base ad videos in 9:16 format.
4
Record the voiceover
Create a natural voiceover from your script and choose a voice that matches your brand. Download it so you can swap it into the video if you prefer it over the default one.
Why these tools
ElevenLabs produces a more natural voice than most default ad voices.
Expected output
A downloaded voiceover audio file in your brand voice.
5
Polish and add captions
Add captions, your logo, a clear offer and a call to action, and tighten the timing so it stays under 30 seconds. Export in 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
Why these tools
CapCut makes captions, branding and timing fixes simple.
Expected output
A finished video under 30 seconds with captions, logo and call to action.
6
Publish and test
Post the best two versions as organic content or small paid tests and compare watch time and clicks. Keep the winning hook and make new variations from it.
Why these tools
CapCut and Creatify let you quickly make new variations from your winning hook.
Expected output
Two published versions plus watch time and click data to compare.
Complete Guide
Beginner2-3 hours for the first run, then about 45 minutes per new adBy the end you will have a finished 9:16 ad video for your clothing brand, with AI models wearing your garments, motion, a voiceover and captions. You will also have two versions ready to test so you can learn which hook works best.
Before you start
- ✓Clear, well-lit photos of each garment on a plain background
- ✓Your brand name, target customer, tone and current offer
- ✓Free accounts for ChatGPT, OnModel, Creatify, ElevenLabs and CapCut
- ✓Your logo as a PNG with a transparent background
- ✓An Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account to publish on
1
Write the script and shot list
Give ChatGPT your brand, product, audience, tone and offer. Ask for a short script with a hook in the first 3 seconds, a numbered shot list and a call to action. Ask for two or three hook options so you can test them later.
Example prompt
“Write a 20-second TikTok ad script for Northline, a streetwear hoodie brand for 18-25 year olds. Tone: confident and playful. Offer: free shipping this week. Give me 3 different hooks, then a 4-shot shot list with on-screen text and a final call to action.”
Pro tip
Ask ChatGPT to describe each shot in terms of setting and pose, so you can reuse those descriptions when generating on-model images.
Common mistake
Writing a script that is too long. Keep it to about 50 spoken words for 20 seconds, and ask ChatGPT to cut it if it runs over.
2
Create on-model visuals
Upload your garment photos to OnModel and pick a model look and background that match your brand. Generate several images per shot and choose the 4-6 that fit your shot list best. Check that logos, prints and colors look accurate.
Example prompt
“Action: Upload the front photo of the black hoodie, choose a young model with a casual streetwear look, set an urban street background at golden hour, and generate 4 variations for shot 1.”
Pro tip
Keep the same model and style across all images so the ad feels consistent rather than like a collage.
Common mistake
Using wrinkled or poorly lit garment photos. Re-shoot flat lays in natural light before uploading to get cleaner results.
3
Generate the base ad video
Start a new video ad in Creatify, upload your on-model images and paste the script. Choose vertical format and a voiceover or presenter style. Generate two or three versions, each using a different hook from your script.
Example prompt
“Create a 20-second vertical ad for Northline hoodies using these 5 images in order. Use this script: [paste script]. Style: fast cuts, upbeat music, bold on-screen text on the first scene.”
Pro tip
Put the strongest image first, since the opening frame decides whether people keep watching.
Common mistake
Accepting the first generated video. Always create at least two versions with different hooks to have something to compare.
4
Record the voiceover
Paste your final script into ElevenLabs text to speech and try a few voices that fit your brand. Adjust the speed and stability until it sounds natural, then download the audio. Match it to the video length so it fits.
Example prompt
“Action: Paste the final script into ElevenLabs, select an energetic young male or female voice, set stability to about 40 percent, generate, and download the MP3.”
Pro tip
Write brand names phonetically in the text if the voice mispronounces them, then keep the real spelling in the captions.
Common mistake
Choosing a voice that sounds polished but does not fit your brand. Listen to it over the video before you commit.
5
Polish and add captions
Import the video and voiceover into CapCut and line them up. Add auto captions, your logo, the offer and a clear call to action in the last 3 seconds. Trim anything that drags to stay under 30 seconds, then export in 9:16.
Example prompt
“Action: In CapCut, import the video and MP3, mute the original audio, use Auto captions, add the logo in the top corner, add the text 'Free shipping this week. Shop now' for the final 3 seconds, and export at 1080p 9:16.”
Pro tip
Keep captions inside the central safe area so the platform buttons do not cover them.
Common mistake
Leaving the original audio on under the new voiceover. Mute or lower it so the voice is clear.
6
Publish and test
Post the two best versions as organic content or as small paid tests with the same budget. Compare 3-second views, average watch time and clicks after a few days. Keep the winning hook and create new variations from it.
Example prompt
“Action: Post version A and version B at the same time of day with the same caption and link, then record views, watch time and clicks after 72 hours.”
Pro tip
Change only one thing between versions, such as the hook, so you know what caused the difference.
Common mistake
Judging results after a few hours. Wait at least 2-3 days or a few thousand impressions before picking a winner.
Pro tips from power users
- 01Generate on-model images for each color of a product so you can make a color-focused ad variation in minutes.
- 02Save your best-performing script as a template in ChatGPT and only swap the product and offer each time.
- 03Add a text hook on screen as well as in the voiceover, since many people watch with sound off.
- 04Check the platform's ad policies on AI-generated models, and add a disclosure if the platform requires it.
- 05Repurpose each ad into a 9:16 version for Reels and Shorts and a 1:1 cut for feed posts using CapCut.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use AI models to show my real clothes in ads?
Yes, tools like OnModel place your actual garment photos onto AI models. Always check that the fit, color and details look accurate, because customers will expect the real product to match the ad.
Do I need to pay for all of these tools?
You can start on free tiers, but expect watermarks or credit limits on some of them. A single ad can often be finished on free plans, while regular production usually needs one or two paid plans, most likely Creatify and ElevenLabs.
How long should a clothing ad video be?
Aim for 15-25 seconds, and stay under 30. Put the hook in the first 3 seconds, show the product clearly in the middle and finish with a clear offer and call to action.
Do I need ElevenLabs if Creatify already has a voiceover?
No, it is optional. Creatify's built-in voices work for a quick first version, but ElevenLabs often sounds more natural and gives you more control over tone and pacing.
Is it okay to run these as paid ads?
Generally yes, but follow each platform's rules on AI-generated content and make sure the product shown matches what you sell. Start with a small budget, such as 10-20 dollars a day per version, and scale only the winner.
