Arcads makes the performer. Cutroom makes the cut.

Arcads is quick at the part that used to need a shoot day. Write twelve openings on Monday. Pick twelve faces. Twelve variants sit in the ad account by mid-afternoon.

No casting call. No product posted to a stranger. No reshoot fee when line three lands flat in testing.

That is worth naming first. Twelve reads of one script also tell you which script works, before a shoot day exists.

Here is where it stops. A performer reading your words is footage. Footage is not an advert.

An advert needs pictures on the phrases that describe something. It needs captions, because most of the feed watches on mute. It needs a pace that survives the first two seconds.

Cutroom does that second part. One take goes in. One finished 9:16 MP4 comes out. Captions burned in, b-roll sitting on the words you marked.

Every buyer draws from the same library. The jawline reading your magnesium script this month reads somebody else's collagen script next month.

On a hook test that costs nothing. On the creative carrying four figures a week, it is the one thing no edit patches.

The second cost bites harder. Direct response runs on a person attaching their name to a claim.

When a viewer suspects the presenter was rented, the claim reads as rented too. The tell is usually the eyes, not the lip-sync.

Your own face is the one asset in that ad account nobody else can license. The build cost is a phone and a window.

That is not sentiment. It is the only moat available at forty seconds of effort.

Test it yourself. Take the performer carrying your best creative. Look for the same face selling something else this month.

Upload one take, up to three minutes. Cutroom transcribes it and drafts the whole cut. Back comes a 9:16 MP4 with captions burned in and b-roll already placed.

Then you direct it on the words. Highlight a phrase and a clip lands over exactly those words. Wrong clip, swap it or search millions of free ones.

Delete the line that flattened the read. The cut rebuilds around the hole. Change the pace and the machine re-cuts the whole piece.

Emphasise the word your claim turns on so it pops in the captions. Fix a mis-heard word and the captions follow the correction.

There is no timeline, no keyframes and no layer stack. None of those is a decision about the ad. Each one is where an evening goes.

Coverage is capped by pace: 40 percent on chill, 45 on normal, 52 on fast. The cut never turns into wallpaper with narration on top.

The specification, so you can plan around it. Source longer than three minutes is refused at upload.

The output is a 9:16 MP4. That is the shape TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Meta Stories all run.

There is no timeline underneath. The compiler owns every frame boundary, which is why the edit takes four minutes instead of an evening.

Nothing of yours gets stamped on the finished file. No logo, no closing frame.

Somebody has to be on camera, or has to own a photo the avatar module can animate at 320 credits a minute.

Those are the facts a buyer needs on day one. None of them is what caps an ad account. The count of finished creatives does, which is the next section.

Motion's analysis of 550,000+ Meta ads puts winners at 5 to 8 percent of creatives. Somewhere between one in thirteen and one in twenty.

Six creatives a month is not a small effort. It is a small sample. You are short of draws, not short of taste.

The two tools attack that from opposite ends. Arcads gives many faces reading one script. Cutroom gives one face and many cuts of one read.

Many cuts is the cheaper end. A second version of a take already transcribed costs 20 credits a minute. The batch does not run again.

So the idea you were unsure about gets made anyway. That is the behaviour that moves the number, and it is the behaviour a per-video price kills.

If nobody will film, test angles synthetically first. Then film the one that survived and cut it here.

One face, many finished ads, at a price that does not punish the fourth attempt. That is the shape of the account that finds a winner.
