How to Make a Before & After Video for Facebook Ads with AI (2026)

A good before & after video for Facebook Ads used to mean briefing a creator, waiting a week, and hoping the delivery matched the brief. With generated UGC you describe the actor, paste the script, and have a publishable video in about a minute — then iterate on hooks as fast as you can type them.

AgentMedia generates realistic 9:16 UGC videos — actor, script delivery, captions — from a single command, and auto-publishes to your channels. It runs from a web app, a CLI, a REST API, SDKs, or directly inside AI agents via MCP.

What a high-performing before & after video needs

  • Make the before genuinely bad — contrast is the content
  • Hold both states on screen for at least a second each
  • Time-stamp the transformation to make it credible
  • Facebook Ads native format: 9:16 or 4:5 — generated output matches without cropping

Example script you can copy

"This was my setup in January. This is it now. Same budget, by the way"

— casual selfie framing, natural light, talking directly to camera
