# Talking Shorts: Talking-Head Ads from a URL | Clip Studio > Paste a product URL or a one-line brief. Pick a face and a voice. Get a 15–25s TikTok-shaped ad with a hook card, captions, talking head, and cutaway. Canonical page: https://clipstudio.ai/talking-shorts ## What it is Clip Studio writes three angles, you pick a face and a voice, then we cut a 15–25s talking-head ad with a hook card, captions, and a product cutaway. ## How it works ### Paste a URL or a line A product page or one sentence is enough. We research the offer and write three hook → problem → solution → CTA scripts. ### Pick a face and a voice Choose a catalog still or upload a photo, then pick a narration voice. Nothing generates until you hit Generate. ### Download the talking ad A 15–25s vertical cut: hook card, talking head, product cutaway, burned-in captions. Post it. ## Why this path - **Built as a talking-head ad.** Not a faceless stock montage and not a script box. The cut is a person on camera, a hook card, captions, and a product beat. - **Three angles before you pay.** Research and script drafts are part of setup. Generate is the paid render — talking head, cutaway, and finish. - **Your face or a catalog still.** Upload a photo or pick a still. We do not invent a random face. Voice is the shared Clip Studio catalog. - **Ready to post.** Vertical MP4 with captions already burned in. No timeline, no caption plugin, no second editor. ## FAQs ### What are Talking Shorts? Talking Shorts turn a product URL or a one-line brief into a 15–25 second talking-head ad: Clip Studio writes three angles, you pick a face and a voice, then we render a hook card, talking head, product cutaway, and captions. ### Do I need to film? No. Pick a catalog still or upload a photo. The talking head is generated. You never book a creator or open an editor. ### How is this different from Topic Shorts? Topic Shorts are faceless: stock footage, voiceover, captions. Talking Shorts put a face on camera with a hook card and a product cutaway. Use Topic Shorts when you do not want to appear. Use Talking Shorts when the ad should feel like a person talking to camera. ### How is this different from Brand Cast? Brand Cast saves a reusable brand face and hook for later campaigns. Talking Shorts is a one-shot ad from a URL or brief — pick a face, generate, download. ### When do credits charge? Picking an angle, a face, and a voice does not charge. Generate charges credits for the talking-head render, cutaway, and finish. A shortfall keeps the setup and shows an upgrade card. ### What do I get at the end? A finished 15–25s vertical MP4 with a hook card, talking head, product cutaway, and burned-in captions, ready for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. ### Can I still make the old UGC actor videos? New creates go to Talking Shorts. Clips you already generated still play in your library. ## Related - [Topic Shorts](https://clipstudio.ai/topic-shorts.md) - [Video Lab](https://clipstudio.ai/video-lab.md) - [Last Frame](https://clipstudio.ai/last-frame.md)
