Auto Generate vs Customize: Which SeedAds Mode Should You Use?
Auto Generate — AI creates concept, script, scenes, and video. Customize — pick style, character, and scenes. Compare both SeedAds modes and start from the homepage.
Quick answer
Auto Generate on SeedAds lets AI pick style, character, and scenes after you paste a URL — fastest path to a video ad. Customize gives you full control over style, spokesperson, hooks, and scenarios while using the same URL-to-video pipeline.
Two ways to turn a URL into a video ad
Every SeedAds ad starts the same way on the homepage:
Headline: Turn Any URL Into Video Ads
Subheadline: Paste your product or landing page — SeedAds creates the hooks, storyboard, and ready-to-post video in minutes.
The fork is which button you click after entering your link.
Auto Generate — AI does the creative heavy lifting
Auto Generate: AI creates the concept, script, scenes, and video for you.
Best for
- Dropshippers testing many products per week
- Amazon and Shopify sellers who need volume
- First-time users who want a finished ad fast
- Teams without a dedicated creative director
Workflow
- Go to SeedAds homepage
- Paste URL in Product or landing page URL (Paste any product or website URL)
- Click Auto Generate
- Confirm crawled product info and images
- Pick ad language, resolution, duration, and video count
- Generate — AI recommends style, character, and scenarios automatically
Auto mode adds a small flat credit overhead for batch intelligence — you still see exact cost before render.
Customize — you pick style, character, and scenes
Customize: Choose your own style, character, and scenes.
Best for
- Brands with a locked visual identity
- SaaS companies matching landing page tone
- Advertisers who A/B test specific hook angles
- Teams that want storyboard control before spend
Workflow
- Paste the same URL on the homepage
- Click Customize
- Select visual style template and spokesperson
- Run AI hook analysis — pick selling points and viral openers
- Choose 1–2 creative scenarios (each = one video)
- Configure duration and resolution → generate
Same crawl, same storyboard engine, same Seedance render — more picker steps, less AI autopilot.

Both modes produce the same output formats: 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 10s–15s durations, 480p–1080p.
When to switch modes
Start Auto if you are new or testing 5+ products this week.
Switch to Customize when a winner needs a specific spokesperson, cinematic style, or hook angle your brand already uses.
You can paste the same URL twice — once in each mode — and compare outputs.
