Green-screen reaction

A creator green-screen composited over a full-bleed on-screen element (a review/article/product screenshot) they point at and react to — hook-first talking-head.

The creator is composited over a full-bleed on-screen element — a review, an article, a competitor page, a product screenshot — which they point at and react to.

When to use it

The fastest way to make a claim someone else made into your ad. Ideal for press mentions, five-star reviews, a viral comment, or a competitor's own pricing page.

The thing to get right

The thing behind the creator has to be legible on a phone at speed. If a viewer has to squint at the screenshot, the format has spent its hook on something they never read.

The format at a glance

  • Output — a video ad.
  • Structure — 4 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
  • Family — Creator & UGC video.
  • Recipe id — green_screen, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.

What can go behind the creator?

A review, an article, a competitor page, a product screenshot. The constraint is legibility on a phone at speed, so crop to the sentence that matters rather than compositing a whole page the viewer will never read.

Formats built around a person on camera — the talking-head, the unboxing, the try-on, the demo. These are the highest-volume paid-social formats on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and the ones where realism matters more than polish.

  • UGC talking-head — a real creator reviewing/recommending the product straight to camera (TikTok/Reels)
  • UGC unboxing — a creator excitedly opening/unpacking the product
  • UGC tutorial / demo — a creator demonstrating how the product works, step by step
  • UGC try-on / haul — a creator receiving, trying on or using the product (fashion/beauty/lifestyle)
  • UGC product hero — UGC where the PRODUCT is the sole focal hero — close, tactile, hands-on (little/no creator face)
  • This gadget saved me — a creator framing the product as the thing that fixed a specific everyday frustration ("this literally saved me")

Hermoso plans and renders a green-screen reaction from your brand rather than from a prompt you write, composites every on-screen word after the render so the copy comes out exact, and exposes the same format to an AI agent over MCP. How Hermoso renders a format covers all three.
