FAQ
What SHOT.IS is, what the $4.99 launch offer covers, when to buy a video pack, and when managed production is the better fit.
SHOT.IS is a self-serve AI UGC ad generator and a managed production studio. Teams can create one AI video from $4.99, buy video packs for testing volume, or brief the SHOT.IS team to deliver campaign-ready AI UGC ads, AI video ads, and virtual influencer content.
SHOT.IS runs a keyframe-first pipeline. A brand brief becomes a Scene Bible with one location, one outfit, and locked look constants. We generate still keyframes and quality-check them before any animation. Approved frames go to image-to-video models, and the clips are cut to a beat grid so the edit feels intentional. Every stage has a QA gate, which catches rejects while they are still cheap.
SHOT.IS is the company and the public product site. studio.shot.is is the self-serve app where you generate AI video under your own account. Managed production runs the same pipeline and adds creative direction, human QA, editing, and campaign-ready delivery.
Teams that test creative at volume: mobile apps managing CPI, ecommerce brands feeding paid social, SaaS products explaining features, and agencies producing for clients. The fit is strongest when you need many ad variants per week rather than one flagship film per quarter.
The SHOT.IS launch offer starts at $4.99 for one self-serve AI video. Video packs are available in Studio with live volume pricing. Managed production is quoted per campaign brief because it covers creative direction, QA, editing, and finished variants rather than a single generated clip.
Yes. Video packs suit teams producing several hooks, scenes, creator variants, or product angles. Current pack sizes and checkout prices appear inside Studio, so the published offer and the live purchase flow stay aligned.
Paid social is a testing game, and hooks fatigue in days, so the economic unit is a variant rather than a video. With a human creator, variant five costs most of a re-shoot. In the SHOT.IS pipeline, variant five is a handful of regenerated shots dropped into an existing edit, because you already paid for the Scene Bible, keyframes, music, and assembly.
Turnaround runs in days rather than weeks. In one engagement, SHOT.IS delivered 18 ad concepts for a DTC ecommerce launch in eight days against a four-week quote for the traditional shoot. Ongoing programs ship around six hook variants per week per creator persona.
SHOT.IS routes each shot to the model that handles it best instead of forcing one model everywhere. Google Veo 3 covers motion physics and native audio, Grok Imagine handles fast low-cost iteration and reference-aware keyframes, and Kling drives expressive character motion. We re-evaluate routing as providers ship updates.
Consistency comes from a Scene Bible plus reference discipline: one location, one outfit, locked look constants, product reference images for label fidelity, and reference-aware keyframe generation. Every keyframe and clip passes a vision QA gate, and we regenerate identity-critical shots until the same face and the same product read across the whole ad.
You do. Delivered campaign assets are yours for commercial use across paid and organic placements, with licensed music where music is included. The SHOT.IS terms of service cover the details.
They perform where testing velocity decides the outcome. In SHOT.IS programs, a mobile gaming studio cut CPI by 31% over four-week windows using six AI hook variants per week, and a DTC brand lifted ROAS 1.7x on its best AI-generated variant. AI UGC underperforms where genuine human trust is the job, because real testimonials still belong to real people.
Yes, with disclosure. TikTok and Meta both allow AI-generated ad creative but require AI content labels in defined cases, and the EU AI Act adds transparency obligations. SHOT.IS labels AI content where platforms require it, never impersonates real people, and never fabricates testimonials.
A virtual influencer is a digital creator identity with a consistent face, tone, and world, used in social content and campaigns. It replaces part of the workload: virtual creators win on consistency, scheduling, localization, and production speed, while human creators keep the edge for authentic testimonials and audience trust.
The fastest answer is a real variant in your ad account. Start a sprint or generate in the studio yourself.
