Questions
- Is Captions good for product ads?
- It is very good at making a video you already have look professional. It does not decide what your ad should say about your product, which is the part that determines whether the ad works.
- Do I still get captions with UGC CoPilot?
- Yes. Captions are generated from the actual spoken audio and burned into every finished ad, because most of this audience watches with the sound off.
