For media buyers who already pay for UGC
The lock is not the product. Tools already lock faces. This is the bible, the 2026 stack, the 30-hook list, the QA, and the week you ship a batch.
Who this is for
Media buyers, DTC operators, and info-product operators who already pay $50–$300 per UGC video and hate reshoots. You have an offer, an ad account, and a week. You want one face you can reuse when a winner dies.
AI-art hobbyists. People who want a Midjourney prompt pack, a LoRA seminar, or a $29/mo community. If your job is “learn to lock a character,” you do not need this. Nano Banana, Midjourney Omni Reference, Kling Character ID, Seedance, OpenArt, and Neolemon already do that.
What’s inside
--oref / --ow for hero stills, Flux Kontext for surgical edits, Kling Character ID and/or Seedance for video, Veo Ingredients if you already pay for it. Official settings where the docs support them. Estimates labeled. 2024 --cref / IP-Adapter folklore left out.
Also included: the 7-day batch plan that assigns what a contractor can do and what you cannot outsource (the face, the 10 video picks, the disclosure, the ad account).
Worked examples
One lock. Nine stills. Skincare, protein, calendar app. If the jaw, hair, or wardrobe drifts, the file fails QA.
The 30-hook idea
Full list ships in the product. A sample of the actual hooks:
Guarantee
The promise is the system and the batch method. Not “your ads will win.” Not a revenue claim. If you buy and you have not downloaded the worked examples, you can refund inside 14 days. After you download those files, the sale stands.
FAQ
No. In 2026 the lock is a product feature. This is how you ship a testable batch with one face that does not drift, plus the disclosure work so you do not treat the ad account as a toy.
Not for this method. You lock one invented spokesperson and reuse them. If you want a real person’s face or voice, you need a written release that covers AI and paid ads. That is outside the default path.
No. This is self-serve at $997. A later done-with-you identity lock is a different product and is not included. There is no community you have to show up to.
Your own Midjourney, Gemini / Nano Banana, Flux, and Kling or Seedance usage. If your company did more than $1,000,000 USD in the prior year, Midjourney’s public terms say you need Pro or Mega for commercial use. The checklist names the pages to re-read.
Meta labels many AI-made or AI-edited ads with AI info and requires extra disclosure on social-issue, election, and political ads. You disclose. You do not strip watermarks to hide the origin. This is not a guarantee that any given ad will be approved or that it will spend well.
No. There are no testimonials on this page and none in the files. The worked examples are the proof of the method: one locked face, three brands, problem / demo / hook. They are not revenue stories and they are not customer quotes.
Dan Petreley. Limited help after purchase. The files are written so a contractor can QA and generate without a Slack channel.
