Replacing Arcads and HeyGen with Seedance 2.5 for AI UGC ads
A user argues Seedance 2.5 in a Claude Code pipeline produces better talking-head ads for under $5 each, versus $100+/month Arcads or HeyGen subscriptions with monthly caps.
stop paying arcads or heygen $100+ a month for ai ugc seedance 2.5 makes a better talking head for under $5 an ad and you own the whole pipeline here's the setup in claude code 1. write the script in hook, pain point, desired outcome. no quotes, spell out the numbers 2. clone a voice once with fal minimax and make the ad read mp3 first 3. pass the avatar photo + the mp3 to seedance 2.5 at 480p so it lip syncs to audio you already approved 4. run whisper on the output and check every word against the script 5. any misspoken word gets spliced back in from the mp3. stutters get cut as jump cuts 6. resize to 1080 with ffmpeg + light grain. skip the ai upscaler, it makes her face look plastic 7. upload straight to facebook ads through the api as paused ads the subscription tools cap how many videos you get a month. this has no cap, you pay per render one month of seats is about 20 finished ads get started for free - https://www.graphed.com/platform?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cody_x_20261022&utm_content=cancel-ai-ugc_post
