Creator Shares Full GPT Image 2 + Seedance Workflow for Consistent AI UGC Ads

On September 5, @socialwithaayan shared a complete workflow in a series of posts for making AI ads with GPT Image 2 and Seedance 2.5. After facing a flood of questions, he further stressed that the credibility of such ads comes from deliberate human design, not automatic model generation.

Confirmed

• Step one: upload a clear, front-facing, well-lit selfie and use GPT Image 2 to generate a realistic six-panel turnaround sheet of the same person (various angles, full body, clothing), with the photo serving as the identity reference
• Step two (m1 post): continue using GPT Image 2 to generate the creator's storyboard
• Step three (m4 post): use Seedance 2.5 to batch-produce 24-second UGC talking-head ads, set to 1080p, 9:16 vertical, 24 seconds, with audio enabled; a dual reference image strategy is used—instead of generating the product, real product photos are fed directly to the video model
• Responding to countless "what tool did you use" questions, the author said that's the wrong question: the elements that make the piece believable—slight arm shake, a searching focus, a tired voice—were deliberately designed by him, and he attached a link to the full production process

Why it matters

• The workflow connects an end-to-end pipeline of identity-consistent reference images, real-product dual reference images, and voiceover audio, showing a path to usable commercial ads with today's consumer-grade AI tools
• The author's core point is counterintuitively valuable: the persuasiveness of AI ads comes from deliberately added imperfect details (performance flaws), not photorealism itself, offering practitioners a methodology at the content design level
