Reverse-engineer successful advertisements to produce AI videos of superior quality
Using Sora 2, create polished AI movies that follow established patterns by evaluating successful user-generated content (UGC) advertisements and translating them to JSON forms.
Step-by-step:
Look for successful UGC advertisements in your niche on TikTok or Instagram, then download videos that have compelling hooks and obvious product demonstrations that you wish to imitate.
Use Gemini 2.5 Pro to upload to Google AI Studio and ask, "Analyze this video shot by shot." Scene, description, camera angles, transitions, speech transcript, and on-screen text should all be returned as strict JSON. Limit to 15 seconds.
To adapt, paste JSON into ChatGPT: "Adapt this JSON to [your product/niche]." Maintain the camera's tempo and angles. Use [your messaging] in place of the script. JSON output that is compatible with Sora
Paste the finished JSON file into Sora, then check it for clean transitions, understandable text, logo fidelity, and script completion.
Use free tools to clean up: use video remixer to remove AI metadata, upscale with Replicate, improve speech with Adobe Podcast, and remove watermarks.
In order to stand out on the "For You page," I would advise polishing your video regardless of whether you are using Sora's free or paid plan.
This is because our feeds are dominated by AI video slop that is immediately recognized as such and not marketing-grade content.
