A talking-head video with your own presenter
One person, one line, straight to camera: the simplest ad and the easiest to test. Save your presenter once from a few photos and RefVid makes them say a short line in a bright home office, with the same face every time, so ten hooks can be ten clips of the same person.

Made from these photos

- Voice and room sound generated with the video
- No watermark
Who it’s for
For founders and marketers who need a talking-to-camera ad, for coaches and course creators sharing one tip a day, and for teams testing many hooks before recording the winner for real.
The prompt
What the studio fills in for you. Your subject takes the place in brackets; you can change any of it.
- Medium close-up of [the presenter] sitting in a bright home office, looking straight into the camera, who says with a warm smile: "Here is the one thing I wish I had known sooner." Soft window light, shallow depth of field.
Make it yours
Write the hook
Replace the quoted line with the first sentence of your ad: a surprising fact, a question, or a common mistake.
Change the setting
Move from the home office to a kitchen, a car, a gym or a shop floor to match your audience.
Make a series
Keep the same presenter and change only the line to make a week of tips with one consistent face.
Photos that work best
People: 1–5 photos with the face clearly visible and evenly lit — a straight-on portrait first, then a three-quarter angle and a profile. Skip sunglasses, heavy filters and group shots; if a photo shows more than one person, the studio can’t tell who you mean.
How it works
- Sign in and add the presenter from 1–5 photos. Each subject is saved once, so every later template takes one tap.
- The studio opens with this template filled in: the shot, 5 seconds, 9:16. Change any word you like.
- Press Generate. The clip is ready in a few minutes, without a watermark, and the same subject is there for the next one.
Questions
- Can I choose the voice?
- The voice is generated with the video from the prompt; describe it in the shot ("a calm low voice", "an upbeat voice") to steer it.
- How long can the line be?
- About one short sentence for 5 seconds. For a longer script, pick a longer length in the studio, or make several clips of the same presenter.
- How much does this template cost?
- A new RefVid account’s free credits cover one 3-second clip. The full template is 5 seconds with sound: buy it as a single video, with no plan, or use credits from a pack or plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
