Question 1

How does Videotok's AI video creation work?

Accepted Answer

Videotok offers multiple ways to create videos depending on your needs:

• UGC only talking: AI avatars speaking directly to camera with emotion control
• UGC with video behind: Avatar talking over video backgrounds
• UGC with B-roll: Avatar mixed with AI-generated footage scenes
• Faceless videos: AI-generated visuals with voiceover narration
• Clone winning ads: Recreate successful ad formats and generate variations at scale
• Video editor: Start from scratch with full creative control
• Slideshows: Create carousels with AI-generated images
• Hook + demo: Create hook videos followed by product demos
• Bulk agent creation: Automate content creation and publish to your socials

Simply describe what you want, choose your style, select a voice and language, and the AI generates everything: script, visuals, voiceover, captions, transitions, and music. You can also paste a URL and we'll extract the content automatically.

Every video is fully editable in our pro editor before export. Export directly to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or download in any format.

Question 2

Can I see a demo of the product?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can request a personalized demo by clicking the 'Request a demo' button on our homepage. Our team will walk you through the platform and show you exactly how to create winning ads and content for your specific use case.

You can also check our YouTube channel (link at the bottom of the page) where we share tutorials, feature walkthroughs, and examples of videos created with Videotok.

Question 3

Do I own all the content created for commercial purposes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you own 100% of the content you create with Videotok for commercial purposes. This includes:

• Full commercial rights to use in ads, social media, websites, and marketing campaigns
• No watermarks on exported videos (depending on your plan)
• Freedom to monetize on any platform (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, etc.)
• Rights to use for client work if you're an agency or freelancer

The AI-generated avatars, voices, images, and videos you create are yours to use commercially without additional licensing fees.

Question 4

Do I get just an actor talking or a final video edited?

Accepted Answer

You get a complete, ready-to-publish video—not just raw footage of an actor talking.

Every video includes:
• AI avatar or voiceover (your choice)
• Professional captions/subtitles with custom styling
• AI-generated or custom visuals
• B-roll footage and transitions
• Background music and sound effects
• Proper formatting for your target platform

The video comes out of the generator ready to post. If you want to fine-tune anything, you can open it in our pro editor and adjust every single frame, text, timing, or effect before exporting.

Question 5

Can I edit the content created and control everything?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Videotok gives you full creative control with a professional video editor built right in.

After AI generates your video, you can:
• Edit every text, caption, and timing
• Adjust positions, sizes, and rotations of all elements
• Change or replace images, videos, and audio
• Add transitions and sound effects
• Control volume, fade in/out, and playback speed
• Add stickers, shapes, and overlays
• Regenerate specific parts with AI

Think of it like CapCut or Premiere Pro, but with AI generation built in. You can also start from a blank editor and build everything manually if you prefer.

Question 6

Does it work in different languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Videotok supports 30+ languages including:

• English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese
• Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic
• Russian, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Swedish
• Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino
• And many more...

You can select any language for voiceover and captions. This makes it easy to create the same ad in multiple languages to reach global audiences—perfect for international marketing campaigns or localized content.

Question 7

Can I clone ads that are already working?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can recreate winning ad formats using Videotok:

• Paste any URL and we'll analyze the content structure
• Use our library of proven ad templates and formats
• Generate multiple variations of the same concept for A/B testing
• Create 100+ versions with different hooks, avatars, or scripts

This is perfect for scaling ads that are already performing well, testing new angles, or adapting competitor formats to your brand. Combined with our bulk creation features, you can produce dozens of variations in minutes instead of hours.

Question 8

How long does it take to create a video with Videotok?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity of the video, models and options selected, but you can expect each video to be ready in 1-10 minutes.

Question 9

Can I create videos with my own images?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use your own images.

Question 10

What is a creative engineer?

Accepted Answer

A creative engineer is the evolution of the traditional creative role in brands and agencies. Think of it like a GTM engineer, but for ads and content creation.

Traditionally, creative teams focused purely on ideation and production. A creative engineer takes this further by:

• Designing and controlling the entire creative workflow from brief to final output
• Building automated systems that generate creatives at scale
• Setting up AI agents and templates that maintain brand consistency
• Managing data pipelines to inform creative decisions and A/B testing
• Orchestrating tools, APIs, and platforms into a cohesive production system

Instead of manually creating one ad at a time, a creative engineer builds the infrastructure that produces hundreds of winning variations. They're part strategist, part systems thinker, and part creative director.

Videotok is built for creative engineers—people who want to automate the repetitive parts of video production while keeping full creative control over the output.

Question 11

Do you offer a free trial?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer a free trial. However, you can see how the platform works by searching 'Videotok app' on YouTube to find our official channel. This way you can see how the platform Videotok works through our tutorial videos and examples.

Question 12

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

You can only get a refund within 14 days of subscribing for the first time (so, it's possible only during the first month of subscription) and the refund will be limited to unused credits only. The refund is only limited to the proportion of unused credits because for the credits used Videotok had to bear the production costs of the videos.

Question 13

Do the credits expire each month or do they roll over?

Accepted Answer

Credits expire every month. Therefore, it is not possible to accumulate credits from the previous month that have not been used.

Question 14

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel your subscription at any time. You can do this from your account settings.

Question 15

Can I create a personal brand that is repeated in all videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can create a personal brand by inserting hooks and calls to action that will be repeated every time you select your personal brand. In the section dedicated to the personal brand you can also insert examples of scripts in order to train Videotok that in the writing phase will reproduce the style of the examples.

Question 16

How many clone voices can I create if I buy the Pro Plan?

Accepted Answer

If you buy the Pro Plan you can create a maximum of three voices.

Question 17

How do I optimize my profile for maximum conversions?

Accepted Answer

Your profile serves as a landing page on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Every element is an opportunity to communicate your value and drive action.

• Profile picture: Use a high-quality logo across all platforms.
• Bio: Spell out your value props directly. Don't just say what your product is—say what it does for them. You have 2-3 seconds of attention.
• Links: Instagram allows links immediately. TikTok requires 1,000 followers. YouTube lets you add links in the channel description and video descriptions.
• CTA: Include a clear call to action like "Try for free on iOS" or "Link in bio."

Follow this format: what your product is + user-centered value prop + CTA.

Question 18

How do I write a bio that converts?

Accepted Answer

Your bio should speak directly to viewers you want to convert. Ask yourself:

1. Who is my target user? Get specific—name them, their age, what they do.
2. Why would they benefit from my product?
3. What's the ideal end result of them using it?

Platform limits:
• TikTok: 80 characters
• Instagram: 150 characters
• YouTube: 1,000 characters (channel description)

For example, instead of "AI Note Taker," write "Never fall behind in lectures again" or "Capture every detail without lifting a pen."

Remember: if you're building for everyone, you're likely building for no one. Don't be afraid to niche down.

Question 19

How do I train the algorithm to reach my target audience?

Accepted Answer

Each platform pushes your content to people similar to those you engage with. To reach your target audience, act as your target user would.

TikTok (For You page):
• Search topics your target user would search, filter by "this week."
• Like, comment, save, and share videos. Act like your target user.
• Follow 50-75 creators in your niche over 2-3 days.
• Repeat 5-7x daily until your For You page shows niche content.

Instagram (Explore & Reels):
• Find influencers in your niche, follow them, engage with their content.
• Follow who they follow. Algorithm training is easier here.

YouTube (Shorts feed & Home):
• Watch and engage with Shorts in your niche. Like, comment, subscribe.
• YouTube's algorithm is more search-based, so focus on keywords and titles too.

Bonus: This research helps you understand your audience's language, slang, and trending sounds.

Question 20

What if I already started posting without training the algorithm?

Accepted Answer

Instagram & YouTube: No worries—you can start re-training your algorithm now by engaging with content in your niche. These platforms are more forgiving.

TikTok: If none of your videos are getting high engagement, it might be a sign to restart your account and re-train the algorithm with a fresh account. TikTok is stricter about initial account behavior.

If you just start posting right away without warming up, TikTok might flag you as a bot.

Question 21

How often should I post UGC content?

Accepted Answer

A good rule of thumb is 3 posts per day on each platform.

Why 3 posts max?
1. Volume is king, but quality still matters—especially when you're learning what works.
2. Posting too much may flag you as a bot (especially on TikTok).
3. Prevents burnout!

How to avoid being flagged:
• TikTok: Wait 1-2 hours between posts. Engage with your For You page for ~5 minutes after each post.
• Instagram: Post during regular hours (8am-9pm). Wait 1-2 hours between posts.
• YouTube Shorts: More flexible, but consistency matters more than frequency. 1-3 Shorts/day works well.

Question 22

How do I know if my UGC video is successful?

Accepted Answer

Views alone don't tell the full story. A viral video doesn't always lead to downloads.

Focus on:
• Comments: Are people asking "what is that?" or saying "downloading now"? These indicate product-content fit.
• Shares: Instagram and TikTok algorithms heavily favor shares. More shareable = higher virality.
• Watch time: YouTube prioritizes watch time and retention. Check your analytics.
• Downloads/Clicks: Track how viral videos impact actual acquisition.

Wait 24-48 hours before analyzing metrics—videos sometimes take time to build up. YouTube Shorts can even resurface weeks later.

Question 23

How can I target the US market from outside the US?

Accepted Answer

Each platform has different geo-targeting behaviors:

TikTok (strictest):
• Buy and activate a US SIM card while in the US, keep using it abroad with mobile data.
• Open your account while physically in the US.
• Avoid Wi-Fi to maintain US location signal.
• Use a high-quality US VPN that doesn't get flagged.
• Set Apple ID region to US, turn off location services, disable iCloud Keychain.
• Use separate devices or app cloning for multiple accounts.

Instagram:
• Less strict. Use a US VPN and set your phone region to US.
• Engage with US-based accounts to train the algorithm.
• Use US-relevant hashtags and post during US peak hours.

YouTube:
• Most flexible—it's more keyword and search-based.
• Use US English, target US search terms, and mention US-specific references.
• Upload during US peak hours (EST/PST).

This applies whether you're in Europe, Asia, Africa, or Latin America.

Question 24

How do I create product videos for my Shopify store?

Accepted Answer

Videotok lets you create scroll-stopping product videos for your Shopify store without hiring creators or filming yourself.

How to get started:
1. Sign up for Videotok and create your account.
2. Set up your Brand Kit: Add your logo, brand colors, hooks, CTAs, and script examples. Videotok will learn your style and reproduce it in every video.
3. Generate videos: Enter your product URL or describe your product—our AI creates the script, visuals, voiceover, captions, and music automatically.
4. Download and use: Export your videos and upload them to your Shopify product pages, ads, or social media.

Best video types for e-commerce:
• Product showcases with AI-generated visuals
• UGC-style testimonials with AI avatars
• Before/after transformations
• Problem-solution hooks that grab attention

Pro tip: Lead with benefits, not features. "Finally sleep through the night" converts better than "Memory foam mattress."

Question 25

Can I automate video creation and publishing for my Shopify store or Tiktok shop?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Videotok's automation features let you scale your video content without manual work.

How to automate your workflow:
1. Create your Brand Kit: Set up your hooks, CTAs, voice, and script style once. Videotok will use this for all future videos.
2. Use AI agents: Our AI can generate multiple video variations from a single product—different hooks, angles, and CTAs to A/B test.
3. Auto-publish to social media: Connect your TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube accounts to schedule and publish videos directly from Videotok.
4. Download for Shopify: Export videos to use on product pages, in email campaigns, or as paid ads.

Social commerce integrations:
• TikTok Shop: Create shoppable videos and tag products directly.
• Instagram Shopping: Use your videos in Reels with product tags.
• YouTube Shopping: Add product links in Shorts descriptions.

Pro tip: Create 10+ variations of your best-performing ad and let the platforms' algorithms find your winning creative.

Question 26

How can I use Videotok for my dropshipping business?

Accepted Answer

Videotok is perfect for dropshipping because you can create professional product videos without ever touching the product.

How dropshippers use Videotok:
1. Product videos from supplier images: Paste your AliExpress, CJ Dropshipping, or supplier URL—our AI extracts images and creates scroll-stopping videos automatically.
2. UGC-style ads without creators: Use AI avatars to create authentic-looking testimonials and unboxing-style content.
3. Scale testing: Generate 10-20 video variations per product to find winning creatives faster. Test different hooks, angles, and CTAs.
4. Multi-language ads: Create the same ad in multiple languages to test international markets without translation costs.

Best video formats for dropshipping:
• Problem-solution hooks: "Struggling with [problem]? This changed everything."
• Before/after transformations
• "TikTok made me buy it" style reviews
• Comparison videos (this vs that)
• Satisfying product demos with AI-generated visuals

Pro tip: Don't wait for samples to arrive. Test products with AI-generated videos immediately and scale your winners with more AI UGC variations. Let our AI avatars and voiceovers do the work for you.

Question 27

How do I find viral formats for faceless videos?

Accepted Answer

Start by recreating videos that have already gone viral in your niche. The key is re-using language that resonates with your target audience.

Where to find viral formats:
• TikTok: Search the For You page for your niche topics, filter by "this week."
• Instagram: Check the Reels tab and Explore page for trending formats.
• YouTube: Browse the Shorts feed and search for "[your niche] shorts."

Save videos and audios directly in your account to reference later. Pay attention to hooks, language, emojis, and hashtags.

Try 3 different viral formats to see what sticks. Once something works, rinse and repeat. It's okay to post very similar content—especially if your goal is acquisition.

Question 28

What hashtags and captions should I use?

Accepted Answer

Hashtags per platform:
• TikTok: 5-7 targeted hashtags. Avoid generic ones like #fyp or #viral.
• Instagram Reels: 5-7 niche hashtags. Instagram's algorithm relies less on hashtags now but they still help discoverability.
• YouTube Shorts: Hashtags matter less. Focus on title and description keywords instead.

Captions:
• Words in your caption greatly contribute to SEO across all platforms.
• Keep the tone conversational while including keywords.
• Example: "My AI Note Taker is my best friend for college lectures, makes getting good grades so easy."

Update hashtags per platform since what's common on one might differ on another.

Question 29

Can I cross-post the same video across platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but each platform has different rules:

• TikTok: Posting the same video across different TikTok accounts will be flagged as unoriginal and won't reach the For You page.
• Instagram: You can post the same video across multiple Instagram accounts without issues.
• YouTube Shorts: You can repost across channels, but unique content performs better.

When cross-posting between platforms:
• Use videotok.app to generate the video, open the editor, make some changes, and post it again on a different account or platform.
• Choose trending audio specific to each platform.
• Adjust hashtags and captions for each platform.
• YouTube Shorts: Focus on a strong title since it's more search-driven.

With 3 posts/day per platform, you only need to create 3 unique videos total.

Question 30

When should I pivot my content strategy?

Accepted Answer

Try a format 3-5 times before pivoting.

Signs it's time to pivot:
• Low views, few shares, and no comments across platforms.
• No engagement that indicates interest in your product.
• YouTube: Low watch time and retention.

Signs to keep going:
• Comments like "where can I download this?" or "can't wait to try!"
• High share count (TikTok & Instagram favor shares heavily).
• YouTube: Good retention rate even with lower views.

Don't be discouraged—this will happen many times before you find what works. It's a big learning process! Look at your top performing videos to identify patterns.

Question 31

How do I analyze my current content performance?

Accepted Answer

Before iterating, understand what's already working on each platform:

TikTok: Go to your profile, click the "|||" button, press "Popular" to sort by engagement rate.

Instagram: Use Insights to see your top performing Reels by reach and engagement.

YouTube: Check Studio analytics for watch time, retention graphs, and click-through rates.

For each top video, note:
• The format and second-by-second breakdown
• The hook used
• The value prop communicated
• Notable comments

Identify patterns across platforms: Is it the hook? The caption? How you introduced your product? Choose 3 formats that work and keep testing them.

Question 32

What time should I post faceless content?

Accepted Answer

TikTok:
• Time of day doesn't matter much for reaching the For You page.
• Space posts 1-2 hours apart to avoid bot flags.

Instagram Reels:
• Post during regular hours (8am-9pm in your target audience's timezone).
• Wait 1-2 hours between posts.

YouTube Shorts:
• More flexible on timing, but posting during your audience's peak hours helps initial traction.
• Consistency matters more than specific timing.

The most important thing across all platforms is consistency and volume. Post 3x/day and analyze what works for your specific audience.
