5 UGC Video Styles That Convert (And How to Generate Them)

1. Hormozi — Bold Animated Word Highlights

Inspired by Alex Hormozi's viral content format. Each key word pops with color emphasis and animated highlighting. The energy is high, the pacing is fast, and every sentence feels like a punch. This style forces attention because the viewer's eye is constantly drawn to the next highlighted word.

Best for: Business and coaching content, product pitches, educational content, motivational clips, and anything where you need to hold attention through sheer energy.

2. Bold — Clean, Professional Captions

Large centered captions with a clean, professional look. No animations, no distractions — just crisp text that communicates authority. The Bold style lets the content speak for itself while ensuring every word is readable on any screen size.

Best for: SaaS demos, corporate content, professional services, B2B marketing, and any context where credibility matters more than flash.

3. Karaoke — Word-by-Word Sync

Each word highlights exactly as it is spoken, like karaoke lyrics. The viewer follows along word by word, which creates a hypnotic reading experience. This style excels at emotional pacing — the viewer absorbs the message at exactly the speed you intended.

Best for: Music content, storytelling, emotional content, testimonials, personal narratives, and anything where timing and rhythm matter.

4. TikTok — Trendy with Emoji Accents

The native language of short-form social. Trendy formatting, dynamic positioning, and emoji accents that match the energy of the content. This style feels like it was made by a creator who lives on the platform — because the formatting mirrors what performs best in the For You page algorithm.

Best for: Gen Z audiences, lifestyle content, casual product reviews, day-in-my-life content, hauls, and anything targeting a younger demographic.

5. Minimal — Clean and Unobtrusive

Small, clean captions positioned at the bottom of the frame. The text is there for accessibility and clarity, but it never competes with the visual content. This is the style you choose when the face, the product, or the footage should be the star — not the subtitles.

Best for: Premium brands, luxury products, serious topics, real estate, fashion, and any content where visual elegance matters.

Which style should you use?

The right style depends on your content type and audience. Here is a quick decision table:

A/B testing with different styles

The fastest way to find your winning style is to test. Generate the same script in multiple styles, post them as separate videos, and measure which one performs. With agent-media, switching styles is just a flag change — same script, same face, different output.

# Generate the same script in all 5 styles
SCRIPT="This product changed my morning routine forever."

agent-media ugc -s "$SCRIPT" --style hormozi -o test-hormozi.mp4
agent-media ugc -s "$SCRIPT" --style bold    -o test-bold.mp4
agent-media ugc -s "$SCRIPT" --style karaoke -o test-karaoke.mp4
agent-media ugc -s "$SCRIPT" --style tiktok  -o test-tiktok.mp4
agent-media ugc -s "$SCRIPT" --style minimal -o test-minimal.mp4

Post all five versions to the same platform at similar times. After 48 hours, compare watch time, completion rate, and engagement. You will almost always find that one style dramatically outperforms the others for your specific niche. Once you have that data, standardize on the winner and iterate from there.

Combining styles with the right face

The subtitle style is only half the equation. The face photo you use — and how it pairs with the style — determines whether the video feels authentic or off. Here are the combinations that work:

What does it cost?

All five styles cost the same: 30 credits per second of output video. There is no premium charge for Hormozi or Karaoke — the style flag does not affect pricing. Here is what that looks like in practice:

On the Creator plan ($39/month, 3,900 credits), a 10-second video costs 300 credits — meaning you can generate roughly 13 UGC videos per month. If you are running A/B tests across all 5 styles, that gives you 2-3 full test cycles with unique scripts. The Pro plan ($69/month, 6,900 credits) gives you about 23 videos, and Pro Plus ($129/month, 12,900 credits) gives you 43.
