Watch the workflow, from reference to recreation

AdAnt’s published 2:36 URL-recreation walkthrough. This is a product demonstration, not a measured advertising result. Open video

The demonstration starts from a social video URL and shows the analysis and recreation flow in chat. Use it to evaluate the steps you would repeat with your own product. No production cost ledger or campaign performance is attached to this recording.

What to bring

  • A publicly accessible TikTok, Instagram Reel, or YouTube Short, or a video file you can use.
  • Your product URL and accurate product images or app screenshots.
  • An avatar selection, audience, spoken script, and brand constraints.
  • A description of what should carry over: the opening question, shot rhythm, or reveal structure.

A worked adaptation brief

For a food-scanner app, use a grocery-aisle demonstration as a structural reference: a creator presents a product, scans its label, and reacts to the result. This is an illustrative brief, not a claim that this exact ad has been produced or tested.

  1. Analyze: identify the opening hook, phone close-up, result reveal, and closing action. Ask the agent to explain which parts depend on the original brand.
  2. Adapt: replace the original product with your own app and an authentic screen recording. Keep the sequence while writing a new script and removing claims your product cannot support.
  3. Generate: review the avatar, model, format, and estimate before approving media creation. Inspect the first output for face consistency, product shape, speech, and screen readability.
  4. Edit: ask for a shorter opening, a different voice, or a replacement shot. Keep accurate app UI in your uploaded recording instead of relying on generated interface text.

Costs and iteration

There is no single fixed price for recreating a reference. Model, duration, resolution, and additional generations affect credit use. A revised generation is additional work; budget for alternate hooks and rejected takes as well as the version you export. Compare the current plans and credit allowances, then use the estimate shown for your own request.

What recreation cannot guarantee

A reference guides creative structure; it does not guarantee frame-identical output, exact gestures, faithful typography, or the original video’s reach. Generated packaging and phone screens need particular review. Use references and likenesses you have permission to use. Public engagement and ad-library presence are inspiration signals, not proof of conversion.
