Question 1

What's the cheapest way to create product video ads with AI in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Kensa starts at $9.90/month for 280 credits. The cheapest model for product videos is Veo 3.1 at 13 credits per video — meaning Basic plan users can create ~21 product videos per month. New Google sign-ups get 15 free credits (valid 3 days), no credit card required. By comparison, Runway costs $76/month and Pika costs $58/month for single-model access.

Question 2

How do I turn a Shopify product into a video ad automatically?

Accepted Answer

Kensa's e-commerce video generator works in 3 steps: (1) Paste your Shopify product URL — the AI scraper extracts title, description, price, and images automatically. (2) Choose your target platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) and ad style (UGC review, lifestyle, problem-solution, unboxing, before-after, or countdown). (3) AI generates multiple video scripts with hooks and CTAs. Pick a script and generate your video in 2-5 minutes. If a store blocks automated requests, you can enter the product details by hand instead.

Question 3

Which AI video generator is best for e-commerce product ads?

Accepted Answer

Kensa is purpose-built for e-commerce video ads. Unlike general-purpose tools like Runway or Pika, Kensa offers a dedicated e-commerce workflow: paste any product URL → AI generates ad scripts in 6 styles → produce TikTok/Instagram/YouTube-ready videos. It supports 4 AI models (Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3, Seedance 1.5 Pro) so you can pick the best one for each ad. Plans start at $9.90/month vs $76/month for Runway.

Question 4

What types of AI product videos can I create for TikTok and Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Kensa offers 6 ad script styles optimized for social media conversion: UGC Product Review (authentic user-generated content), Problem-Solution (hook with pain point, reveal product), Unboxing Experience (satisfying reveal), Lifestyle Showcase (product in aspirational setting), Before & After (transformation), and Top Reasons Countdown. All formats support 9:16 vertical (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), 1:1 square, and 16:9 landscape.

Question 5

How much does AI video generation cost compared to hiring a UGC creator?

Accepted Answer

Hiring UGC creators costs $200-500 per video with 1-2 week turnaround. AI video generation on Kensa starts at about $0.46 per video (Veo 3.1 on the Basic plan) and delivers in 2-5 minutes. A $9.90/month Basic plan covers up to 21 Veo 3.1 videos; longer clips on per-second models cost more. Many e-commerce sellers use AI for rapid A/B testing of hooks and scaling across product variants, then invest in human creators for proven winners.

Question 6

Can I use AI-generated product videos for paid ads on TikTok and Meta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full commercial usage rights come with Pro, Ultimate or the Premium pack (plans from $29.90/month); other plans and packs do not include them. Generated videos can be used in TikTok Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram), Google Ads, Amazon Sponsored Brands Video, and any other advertising platform. Videos are exported as standard MP4 files in 720p or 1080p HD, compatible with all ad platforms.

Question 7

Which e-commerce platforms work with Kensa's video generator?

Accepted Answer

Kensa reads product pages from Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Etsy, BigCommerce and most custom online stores. Amazon pages use a dedicated parser; other stores are read from JSON-LD structured data, Open Graph tags and HTML meta tags. Some sites block automated requests; in that case, enter the product details by hand and continue as normal.

Question 8

How does Kensa compare to other AI video tools for e-commerce?

Accepted Answer

Kensa has a dedicated e-commerce workflow (URL → script → video). Runway ($76/month) and Pika ($58/month) offer general video generation with a single model. Kensa provides 4 models (Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3, Seedance 1.5 Pro) starting at $9.90/month, plus e-commerce-specific features: automatic product info extraction, 6 ad script styles, and platform-optimized output formats.
