Clones a VIDEO ad end to end for a different product or offer, on the Novoads API. The deliverable is a finished rendered MP4 — the WHOLE ad, not its opening, and not a template. Reads the source's style, pacing, camera work, dialogue and tone, adapts it into a Seedance 2.0 prompt, prices it, renders it, files the source beside the clones and diffs each clip's transcript against the approved script. Use for "clone this video ad", "recreate this video for my brand…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Clone ad — Seedance 2.0 Clone an existing video ad for a different product. You analyze the source frame by frame, transcribe the dialogue, extract the visual style and beat structure, then generate a new `seedance-2.0` video adapted for the user's product. **How this differs from analyze-video:** - **analyze-video** → the output is a reusable markdown formula saved to `prompt-library/`. - **clone-video-ad** → the output is a rendered video delivered to the user. Steps 1 to 3 are the same analysis in both. The only charge in that half is the transcript in step 2 — a fraction of a credit, and free on a re-read of the same source. Everything from step 9 on is the real spend. ## If `shared/` is missing from disk `references/solo-install.md` — what a solo install lacks (`craft.md`, `caption-video`, the b-roll scripts, `check-novoads-env.sh`, `MASTER_CONTEXT.md`) and how to fetch each. Skip it inside the full pack. ## Read order This skill links outward more than any other here, and its two biggest targets fan out again (22 and 10 further links). **A file reached through another file gets skimmed, not read**, so open these four directly, in order. Everything else is lookup. …

How to install
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/clone-video-ad@sha256:82f60d036200cafbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.da488ac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
