The DTC UGC ad stack
Catalog resources for researching, scripting, and generating DTC UGC ads.

Generate

A public gallery of motion-recipe cards for product videos, with a skill that builds Remotion films from your own pages and copy.
Remotion

Edit
No listing’s description, kind, or best-for line describes a UGC timeline editor. Remotion and HyperFrames are under Generate because the catalog describes them as code-based video tools. This directory has not reviewed them as editors.
QA
No listing’s description, kind, or best-for line describes an ad-claim or footage QA tool. A listing does not grant reuse of another brand’s footage, likeness, or claims. From a UGC reference to an original brief is a field note about writing a brief, not a QA product.
