AdRecast
AdRecast turns a reference ad into a new multi-scene product ad, using uploaded product photos and a script the user approves. It is for e-commerce teams producing ads for Meta, TikTok and Shorts.
One of 99 tools in Advertising
Who it's for
- E-commerce creative teams that want to adapt a reference ad's shots, pacing and hook for their own product.
- Performance marketers testing new hooks or ad versions while reusing clips that do not need changes.
- Developers or AI-agent workflows that need to run the ad creation flow through a REST API or MCP server.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams that need to use a reference they are not allowed to learn from: AdRecast says users should only use permitted references.
- Teams creating ads featuring minors or public figures: AdRecast says these are blocked.
How it fits your workflow
Choose a reference link from TikTok, Meta Ad Library or YouTube, upload an MP4, or select a template. AdRecast maps the reference into shots, timing and script.
Upload product photos and optionally provide a cast. Review and confirm the script; video does not render until the words are approved.
Generate and export the new ad for Meta, TikTok or Shorts. If a clip needs a change, select it and regenerate only that clip; the same workflow is available through the REST API and MCP server.

Key features
- Reference-ad remake
- Start with a link from TikTok, Meta Ad Library or YouTube, an MP4, or a template. AdRecast maps the reference's shots, timing, pacing and hook, then rebuilds the ad for a different product.
- Product accuracy checks
- Product photos are used as references, and each frame is checked for the product's label, shape and color. The page says failed frames are regenerated before review.
- Script approval before generation
- The script can be rewritten from the reference structure or from a brief. Video does not render until the user approves the words.
- Voice-over and song options
- Generated ads can use a voice-over or a full song for animated jingle-style ads, with the choice based on the reference.
- Clip-level revisions
- Users can select a clip, describe a change and regenerate only that clip. The page says revisions cost 80% of the video price for the seconds redone.
- API and MCP access
- A REST API and MCP server run the same flow as the web app, including templates, uploads, script, estimate, generation and export, with spend confirmation, budgets and idempotency.

Frequently asked questions
What is AdRecast?
Users provide a reference video ad by link or upload, or select a template. AdRecast maps its shots, pacing and hook, writes a script for the user's product, and generates a new ad with the product and cast after the script is confirmed.
How is AdRecast different from other AI video tools?
The page says AdRecast focuses on e-commerce ads and rebuilds a full multi-scene ad rather than restyling or animating a single clip. Users approve the script first, product accuracy is checked in every frame, and individual shots can be revised.
Will my product look accurate?
Product photos are used as references for stills and shots. Each frame is checked for label, shape and color, and the page says failed frames are regenerated before review. Users can also regenerate a still themselves.
What about rights and likeness?
AdRecast copies the structure, such as shots, pacing and hook, rather than the original footage, brand or people. Users should only use references they are allowed to learn from. Uploading a real person's photo requires confirmation of consent; minors and public figures are blocked.
How does pricing work?
One dollar equals 100 credits. Video is billed per generated second: 40 credits at 720p, 50 at 1080p and 60 at 2K. Starting requires the $1 trial or a top-up. Within a paid project, analysis, script and storyboard stills carry no extra charge, and video credits are taken only after confirmation.
Is there an API?
Yes. AdRecast offers a REST API and MCP server that run the same flow as the web app, including templates, uploads, script, estimate, generation and export, with spend confirmation, budgets and idempotency.
