Cloning video ads
Take a video ad the user likes and rebuild it with the user's own product. The reference ad's structure, pacing, shots and hook are kept; its product, brand and spoken lines are replaced with the user's.
A product ad built from scratch, with no reference video to follow, is out of scope — that belongs to generating-ad-videos. A still image ad belongs to generating-image-ads.
Workflow
Step 1: Analyze the reference ad
The reference ad is the plan the clone is rebuilt from, so read it first and read it in full — a thin read here is the one thing that breaks the clone, and no later step recovers it.
Read references/reading-the-ad.md for exactly what to pull out and the breakdown format, then run video_analysis on the ad (a video file or URL) to produce that timed, second-by-second breakdown of the whole thing.
- No reference ad → there is nothing to read yet. Don't invent one; it becomes the first thing the interview (Step 3) asks for.
