An oddly-satisfying sensory clip — texture, sound, repetition, close macro framing. Product-led, wordless, built for watch-through.
When to use it
Retention and organic reach. It suits products with a genuinely satisfying physical property: a pour, a click, a peel, a cut, a texture. Without one, the format has nothing to be about.
The thing to get right
The audio is the format. If the render ships silent, or the sound has nothing to do with what is on screen, it is a slow product video rather than an ASMR clip.
The format at a glance
- Output — a video ad.
- Structure — 4 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
- Family — Creator & UGC video.
- Recipe id — asmr, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.
Does it work with the sound off?
No, and it is the only format here where that is true. Everything else in this catalog is written to survive a muted autoplay; this one is written for the viewer who turned the sound on. Run it where sound-on viewing is normal, and pair it with a captioned format where it is not.

Models that render it
This format is rendered by a video model. The plan picks one unless you name it, and Seedance 2.5 is the default pick. You can ask for another by name, such as Kling 3.0 Turbo, Kling O3 or Vidu Q3. All three render native sound, so a voice comes out of the same take as the picture. The video models page compares every option.
