UGC Ad Factory: 20 Cuts and the Credit Receipt

A UGC pack is a receipt, not a vibe

Agencies lose money when they quote “AI ads” as a flat fee with no line items. Pixogen makes the line items obvious: 20 stills, 5 talking cuts, 1 merge. Write that on the SOW.

This page is the Pixogen-specific version of the topic. Credit numbers below match the generate button in the studio as of August 2026. If a model ships a new badge, we update the routing note here within a day — that is the newsroom rule, not a landing-page rewrite.

Credit math

20 reference stills ≈ 20 credits. 5 lipsync hooks ≈ 20–40. Variations for 9:16 ≈ 8. Total often 50–70 credits — under one Creator pack if you do not reroll the talent.

Credits never expire. Failed jobs refund automatically. Do not budget as if a missed render is gone. Packs start at 200 credits for $19.99; a launch week for a persona is usually cheaper than one stock-license bundle.

Pipeline on Pixogen

Follow /pipelines/ugc-ad-factory. Approve one face before the hooks.

Internal links that belong on this job: the matching tool landing, the pipeline hub, and one glossary term. Do not leave a guide live without those three. Related reading lives in Learn and Academy, not in a footer dump.

Model routing

Stills on Flow 1. Motion on Wan 3 only for the hero. Lipsync on Sync.

If you are choosing an engine for the first time, open /models/compare. Portraits, motion, lipsync and photoreal each have a different default. Wan 3.0 is the motion hero as of this writing; Nano Banana 2 still wins in-image text.

Mistakes that waste credits

• Five talents in one pack.
• No consent note when the face is a real creator.

Publish checklist

1. Lock identity before you batch.
2. Write the credit total on the brief so the client sees the number before the job.
3. Export clean — no watermark — then brand in your editor.
4. Ping the changelog if this guide rode a model drop.
