How to make AI product videos that follow platform rules

Last updated · By Orenston

Short answer: build the video from the brand's real product photos, write a short script from facts on the product page, add an on-screen and spoken affiliate disclosure, and turn on the platform's AI label if any part looks realistic and was AI-generated.

A simple 15 to 45 second structure

  1. Hook (first 2 to 3 seconds): the problem or question the product answers.
  2. Facts: two or three specs or features taken from the brand's page.
  3. Who it's for: one line on the kind of buyer it suits.
  4. Call to action and disclosure: "Link below. Ad: I earn a commission if you buy through it."

Each Orenston product includes prompts and a shot list built from the brand's real images, so you don't have to invent visuals.

Things to avoid

FAQ

Do I have to label AI voiceovers?

On YouTube, labeling is required when content seems realistic and is meaningfully altered or synthetic, such as making a real person appear to say something they didn't. TikTok requires labels for realistic AI-generated audio. When unsure, label it.

Can I use AI images of a product?

It's safer to use the brand's real product photos. An AI image of a product can misrepresent what buyers will receive.

How long should an affiliate product video be?

Short-form videos of roughly 15 to 45 seconds suit TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Include the affiliate disclosure in the video itself.
