Myth-busting

A "myth vs fact" debunking clip.

A myth-versus-fact clip: a common wrong belief stated, then corrected. Structured in pairs, each pair one beat.

When to use it

Category education and objection handling. Best where a widespread misconception is what actually stops people buying — ingredients, pricing models, safety, "does it really work".

The thing to get right

A myth-bust that argues with a strawman reads as evasive. Pick misconceptions your customers genuinely hold, which usually means reading your own comment sections and support tickets rather than inventing them.

The format at a glance

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

Where should the myths come from?

Your own comment sections and support tickets. A myth-bust that argues with something nobody believes reads as evasive, and the misconceptions your customers actually hold are already written down somewhere you can 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 myth-busting 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.
