Sepia: an Arcads alternative built for creative testing
Arcads is a well known AI video ad platform, built around a large library of AI actors and avatars. Sepia takes a different angle. You upload a product photo, write a short brief, and get UGC-style ads produced as several hooks, ready to publish.
Pay as you go, no subscription
Sepia runs on credits. You pay for what you generate, nothing more. There is no monthly plan to commit to before you have seen results. This matters when your spend should follow your testing, not a calendar.
Hooks in series for creative testing
Each variation is a different angle on the same product, so you get several hooks from one brief. That is the unit performance marketers actually test. Instead of one finished spot, you start with a batch of openings to compare.
One automated pipeline, end to end
From product photo and brief to a 9:16 video with burned-in subtitles and music, the full pipeline is automated. No shoot, no casting, no crew. Sepia uses models like Seedance, Veo, Kling and ElevenLabs, and delivers files ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts in about a day.
