UGC Video Generation

Generate authentic user-generated content (UGC) style videos using the each::sense API. Create testimonials, unboxing videos, product reviews, tutorials, and selfie-style content that feels natural and relatable.

Overview

UGC videos are characterized by their authentic, casual feel - as if recorded by a real person on their phone. This skill enables you to generate:

• Testimonial Videos : Talking head style content with genuine-feeling endorsements
• Unboxing Videos : First impressions and product reveals
• Product Reviews : Honest-feeling assessments and demonstrations
• Before/After Content : Transformation reveals and comparisons
• Tutorial Videos : How-to and instructional content
• Day-in-Life : Lifestyle content featuring products naturally
• Get Ready With Me (GRWM) : Personal routine content
• Reaction Videos : Authentic responses and first impressions

Best Practices for Authentic UGC Feel

Visual Authenticity

• Request "iPhone footage" or "phone camera quality" in prompts
• Include natural lighting variations (window light, bathroom lighting)
• Allow for slight camera shake or imperfect framing
• Show real environments with some clutter or personalization

Performance Authenticity

• Ask for "genuine" or "authentic" reactions
• Include natural pauses, thinking moments, looking away
• Request conversational, not scripted-sounding delivery
• Allow for minor imperfections - they add credibility

Setting Authenticity

• Use real-life locations: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, offices
• Include background elements that feel lived-in
• Match lighting to location (ring light for beauty, natural for lifestyle)
• Show products in natural use contexts

Prompt Tips

For iPhone Footage Look

Include phrases like:

• "iPhone selfie camera angle"
• "Front-facing camera perspective"
• "Phone propped up on surface"
• "Handheld phone footage"
• "Vertical video format"

For Natural Lighting

Specify:

• "Natural window light"
• "Morning bathroom lighting"
• "Soft afternoon light"
• "Ring light visible in background" (for beauty content)

For Casual Settings

Describe:

• "Bedroom with unmade bed visible"
• "Bathroom counter with products scattered"
• "Living room couch, relaxed setting"
• "Kitchen counter, morning routine"

For Authentic Delivery

Request:

• "Conversational tone, like talking to a friend"
• "Genuine reactions, not over-performed"
• "Natural pauses and thinking moments"
• "Casual speech with some filler words"

Error Handling

Retry Example

# Simple retry with delay
for i in 1 2 3; do
  response=$(curl -s -w "%{http_code}" -X POST "https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \

    -d '{
      "message": "Create a quick UGC testimonial video, casual selfie style, 10 seconds.",
      "mode": "eco"
    }')

  http_code="${response: -3}"
  if [ "$http_code" = "200" ]; then
    echo "Success"
    break
  fi

  echo "Attempt $i failed with code $http_code, retrying..."
  sleep $((i * 2))
done
