How to Create a "UGC Floating Ad" in CapCut

Scroll-stopping shorts often combine an AI-generated spokesperson with immersive footage behind them. By shrinking your Adhype avatar and pinning it in one corner, you keep the screen 95% clear for product demo, gameplay or lifestyle B-roll while a human-like face delivers the hook. Viewers get context and connection in the first three seconds—exactly what drives watch-time and CTR.

Step-by-step guide

1. Create a new project & import media
   Open CapCut → New Project → drag in both the avatar clip and the background footage.
2. Stack your tracks
   1. Drop the background video on Track 1 (bottom).
   2. Place the green-screen avatar on Track 2 directly above it.
   Correct layering lets CapCut "punch through" the green and reveal Track 1.
3. Remove the green with Chroma Key
   1. Click the avatar layer to highlight it.
   2. In the right panel choose Cutout → Chroma Key (CapCut Desktop) or Edit → Cutout → Chroma Key (Mobile/Web).
   3. Use the eyedropper to sample the green area.
   4. Raise Intensity/Strength until every trace of green disappears; nudge Shadow (3-5) to soften edges.
4. Resize & anchor the avatar
   With the avatar still selected:

   • Scale – drag a corner handle until the avatar is roughly 20% of frame width.
   • Reposition – drag the clip into the upper-left corner (or lower-left if that avoids on-screen UI).

   This yields the classic floating-ad look while keeping text-safe zones clear.
5. Add polish (optional)
   • Shadow/Stroke – Style → add a subtle drop shadow or 2-px white stroke so the avatar pops on busy footage.
   • Keyframe entrance – Set a position keyframe at 0s off-screen, then at 0.5s in-frame to slide the avatar on.
6. Preview & tighten
   Play the timeline:

   • If a green fringe remains, inch Intensity up.
   • If edges look jagged, raise Shadow 1–2 points.
7. Export for socials
   Click Export → choose 1080×1920, 30 fps (or match original) → encode H.264 MP4. CapCut can send directly to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.

Production tips from the Adhype team

• Even lighting = easier key. Soft boxes at 45° angles kill shadows on the green screen.
• Wardrobe check. Avoid green or reflective fabrics on the avatar to prevent accidental transparency.
• Safe-zone margins. Leave ~50 px from the top/left so the avatar never overlaps platform UI.
• Batch your content. Record multiple Adhype avatar hooks in a single session—CapCut's Copy layer shortcut lets you swap backgrounds fast for A/B tests.

Publish, track results, iterate—your UGC Floating Ad is now live and ready to boost engagement!
