ClipMake vs Sidehunt

ClipMake generates UGC-style video ads using AI actors - no creators, no shoots, no editing. Built for e-commerce brands and performance marketers who need high-volume ad creative.

Pick from 300+ AI actors, input your product details, and get a finished video ad with natural voiceover, product visuals, and proven ad structures.

How it works:

1. Pick an AI actor from the library or create a custom avatar.
2. Generate hooks and scripts based on high-performing ad formats across Meta and TikTok.
3. Select a scene template: unboxing, testimonial, tutorial, lifestyle, before/after, and more.
4. Get your video in under 3 minutes. Download and publish.

Key capabilities:

• AI actors with natural lip sync, facial expressions, and body language
• Voice-matched dubbing in 20+ languages - preserves each actor's natural voice, not robotic TTS
• Product placement: upload a product image and the AI actor holds or interacts with it in the scene
• Script generation based on high-performing DTC and e-commerce ad structures
• 20+ scene templates for different ad formats
