Ad creation is expensive, stressful, and time-consuming. Between scripting, filming, editing, and post-production, brands spend weeks (and thousands of dollars) creating just one 30-second clip. And half of the time, these ads end up getting skipped. That’s where video AI steps in.
Tools like Seedance 1.0 Pro, MiniMax Hailuo 02, and Google’s Veo 3 are flipping the entire process upside down, making it faster, cheaper, and wildly more creative. You simply type what you want, and the ad is done.
Seedance 1.0
Seedance 1.0 is now leading the pack when it comes to producing quality AI videos or clips. The physics looks real, addressing a major pain point for professionals using AI video tools.
But here’s where it gets interesting: Seedance 1.0 can build actual narrative sequences. Most AI video tools just generate isolated clips that don’t connect to anything. Yet Seedance 1.0 maintains consistency across multiple shots, keeping characters looking the same, preserving visual style, and maintaining the overall mood.
Its natural language processing excels, too. You can describe complex character interactions, detailed action sequences, and specific camera movements. It understands requests instead of producing random outputs.
Law firms, for example, could create powerful story-driven commercials in minutes. Imagine an ad showing a courtroom scene, zooming into a worried client’s face, then cutting to a calm lawyer entering, all generated from text. Instead of stiff talking-head videos, firms can now craft emotional, high-quality ads that connect while slashing production costs.
MiniMax Hailuo 02
MiniMax’s Hailuo 02 landed at number two on the leaderboard, which makes it the best-performing model that regular people can actually access. Seedance 1.0 Pro sounds amazing, but good luck getting your hands on it internationally right now. Only a few platforms like FAL and KreaAI have access to the model.
Hailuo 02 leveled up, big time. Hitting a score of 1332 on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard is not a small improvement, it’s a huge leap from what their last model pulled off. The physics accuracy is top-notch, and it sticks to your prompts much better than earlier versions.
Plus, the pricing makes sense at $0.49 for a 6-second 1080p video. Compare that to some competitors charging $3 for the same thing, and you can see why professionals are paying attention.
Here’s where the magic of MiniMax’s Hailuo 02 really comes in handy. Industries that burn through massive amounts of creative content like online casinos will find this tool invaluable.
The competition there is fierce, budgets are tight, constant promotions are needed, and you’re always racing against the clock. There is no room to be slow or forgettable since the pressure is high.
That’s why this tool can work wonders for online casino platforms or any other industry that requires new video ads on a near-daily basis.
That kind of efficiency is not just about saving money. It changes the way teams think about producing ads.
Google Veo 3
Google decided to tackle something nobody else has really nailed yet, native audio generation. Veo 3 doesn’t just create video; it also creates dialogue, sound effects, music, and ambient noise, which is a game-changer for content creators who usually have to piece together T2V and I2V with audio.
The motion improvements are noticeable, and the prompt understanding has gotten better. Google is still pretty strict about content moderation, though. You can’t turn it off, which might frustrate some users, but it probably makes sense from their perspective.
At $0.50 per second for video-only and $0.75 with audio, it’s pricier than some options but still reasonable considering you’re getting integrated audio.
The fact that Veo 3 is the first tool here to support native audio is huge for e-commerce. Picture this: a Shopify brand types a simple AI prompt on Veo 3, “A young woman opens a skincare package, soft jazz plays, and she smiles into the mirror.” The tool will generate that scene, complete with background music and product narration. It’s like having a mini ad agency in your browser.
