What it does
Clone an existing video ad for a different product or offer. Analyzes the source video's style, pacing, camera work, dialogue, and tone, then adapts and generates a new Seedance 2.0 video customized for the user's product. End-to-end workflow: input video → analysis → adapted prompt → generation → delivery. Use when someone says "clone this ad", "make this ad but for my product", "recreate this video for my brand", or provides a video ad and a product image asking for a similar video.
Clone ad, Seedance 2.0
Clone an existing video ad for a different product or offer. The agent analyzes the source video frame-by-frame, transcribes dialogue, extracts the visual style and beat structure, then generates a new Seedance 2.0 video adapted for the user's product.
How this differs from analyze-video:
- analyze-video → output is a reusable markdown template saved to
prompt-library/ - clone-ad → output is a generated Seedance 2.0 video delivered to the user
Prerequisites
Before starting, verify:
which ffmpeg || echo "MISSING, run: brew install ffmpeg"
python3 -c "import whisper; print('whisper OK')" 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING, run: pip3 install openai-whisper"
Both extract-frames.sh and whisper depend on ffmpeg. If missing, install via brew install ffmpeg before proceeding.
Workflow
Step 0: Gather inputs
Collect from the user:
| Input | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Source video | yes | The video ad to clone. File path to .mp4, .mov, .webm |
| Product image | recommended | Reference photo of the user's product. Becomes referenceImages / @(img1) in the prompt. Without this, Seedance invents its own product design. |
| Product/offer description | if no image | Text description of the product, its features, target audience, and key selling points. Used to rewrite dialogue and product references. |
| Brand voice | optional | Check MASTER_CONTEXT.md for brand blocks. If empty, ask the user for tone/audience preferences. |
If the user only provides a video and says "clone this for my product," ask them for at least a product image or a text description before proceeding.
Step 1: Extract frames and audio
Reuse the analyze-video extraction script, do NOT duplicate it.
bash "skills/arcads-external-api/prompting/analyze-video/scripts/extract-frames.sh" \
"<source_video_path>" "/tmp/clone-ad-analysis" <num_frames>
