Which AI video model should I use for my ad?

Which model fits each ad job, and how to use Seedance, Veo, Kling, Nano-Banana and the other leading models in one place in Arcads.

Written by Romain Torres

Introduction

Arcads puts the leading AI video and image models in one workspace, on one credit balance. Each model's output can go straight into the next step, so an image becomes a start frame and the finished clip goes on to captions and translation.

Insight: Try the same prompt on two models before you commit to a full batch.
