How Cutroom makes ads without your face
Cutroom needs a video with someone talking, but your face does not have to be in it. You can film your hands or product while you talk, film a colleague, or use an AI presenter.
Three ways to make an ad without your face
| Your product or hands | A colleague | AI presenter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you need | A video of your product, your hands or your screen while you talk, up to 3 minutes | A video of a colleague talking, up to 3 minutes | One photo (an AI-generated portrait or a person who agreed in writing), plus your voice or a typed script |
| Who is on screen | Nobody, only your hands or product | Your colleague | A presenter made from the photo |
| A 40-second ad costs | About 113 credits | About 113 credits | About 347 to 393 credits |
| Plan | Any plan, first video free | Any plan, first video free | Basic ($39.99) and up |
| Best for | Product demos and how-to videos | Explaining your service and answering common questions | Explainers when nobody can film |

This is the whole editor
Highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those exact words. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers.
Filming your product, your hands or a colleague
You film your product, your hands or your screen while you talk, or you film a colleague who does the talking. Cutroom adds b-roll, short clips of what is said, on the key words.
- For a product demo, you can film only your hands using the product, so your face never appears.
- You can also film your screen or the product on a table while you talk behind the camera.
- Cutroom adds b-roll to at most 40%, 45% or 52% of the video, set by the edit style you pick before you upload (Straight cut, Flow, or Punch and Native).
- Because of this limit, half or more of the finished ad usually shows your own video, so film enough of your hands or product to fill it.
- You can highlight the product name, a price or a result, and a clip plays over exactly those words, even past the limit.
- A testimonial has to come from a real customer, filmed with their permission. A colleague or an AI presenter cannot give one.
Using an AI presenter made from one photo
If nobody can be filmed at all, a photo and an audio track become a talking presenter, edited like any filmed video.
- You upload one photo and an audio track. The photo can be an AI-generated portrait, so no real person is shown, or a person who agreed in writing.
- Cutroom animates the mouth, jaw and head to match the audio, then adds captions and clips.
- You can record the voice yourself for free, or type a script and Cutroom reads it out for 70 credits a minute.
- Public figures, and stock models without a licence that covers AI video, are not allowed.
- A presenter keeps the same expression from start to end, so short videos work best.
What a faceless ad costs in Cutroom
The AI presenter adds a cost on top of the normal edit.
- A filmed ad costs 100 credits to edit plus 20 per minute to export, about 110 for 30 seconds.
- An AI presenter adds 350 credits per minute. A 40-second presenter video is about 233 credits.
- A generated voice adds 70 credits per minute.
- Basic, $39.99 for 2,500 credits, covers about 22 filmed 30-second ads, or about seven 40-second presenter ads with your own voice.
- Premium, $79.99 for 5,000 credits, covers about 45 filmed ads or about 14 presenter ads.
- Your first video is free if you film it. The AI presenter needs Basic.
A 40-second ad, three ways to make it
Filming your product, your hands or a colleague costs about a third of the AI presenter. All three include the edit and the export.
- Filmed: your product, hands or a colleague113 credits
- AI presenter, your own voice347 credits
- AI presenter, generated voice393 credits

Questions people ask
- What is a faceless video generator?
- It is a tool that makes videos without your face, usually from stock clips or AI images with an AI voice. Crayo, Revid and invideo AI are examples.
- Can Cutroom make a video with nobody in it?
- Yes, as long as someone talks in it. Film your product, your hands or your screen while you talk behind the camera. If you cannot film anything, use the AI presenter with your voice or a typed script.
- Can the AI presenter have a face that is not a real person?
- Yes. An AI-generated portrait works, so no real person appears. Public figures are never allowed.
- What does the AI presenter cost?
- 350 credits per minute of video, plus 70 per minute if the voice is generated too. Presenters come with Basic ($39.99) and Premium ($79.99).
- Can it read my script out loud?
- Yes. Type the script and Cutroom reads it out for 70 credits a minute, straight into the presenter. Recording it yourself is free and usually sounds more human.
- Do faceless ads perform worse?
- Not necessarily. A product demo works well with just your hands using the product. A testimonial is different: it has to be a real customer, filmed with their permission, never an AI presenter or a colleague.
- What should the camera show if not my face?
- Film what you are talking about: your hands using the product, your screen or the ingredient list.
