ClipMake Renders Videos from Scratch.
Heista Starts from a Proven Formula.
ClipMake takes a product URL and renders a finished video — but the script it generates is surface-level, built from product data, not from a decoded winning formula. The fastest-scaling D2C brands decode the winner first. Heista's Ad Decoder extracts the proven formula, then the Creative Director generates scripts at volume loaded with your brand intelligence. Test with AI talking heads. Find the winner. Then brief real creators.
Get StartedWhat ClipMake Does Well
ClipMake solves a real production bottleneck. Here is what it does well:
Product URL to finished video
Drop a product URL and get a rendered video with script, voiceover, and visuals. End-to-end production automation.
No editing required
The entire production pipeline is automated — script generation, voice synthesis, visual assembly, and rendering.
Speed and volume
Produce dozens of product videos quickly. Ideal for high-volume testing where production speed is the bottleneck.
Multi-format output
Generates videos in multiple aspect ratios and formats for different platforms and placements.
Low barrier to entry
No creative skills required. If you have a product URL, you can have a video ad in minutes.

Same Product URL — Completely Different Output
ClipMake's starting point
A product URL. ClipMake scrapes product info, generates a surface-level script, adds voiceover and visuals, and renders a finished video. No decoded formula. No buyer tensions. No proven beat structure. The script is generated from product data, not from a winning ad that already converts.
Heista's starting point
A winning ad. Heista's Ad Decoder extracts the proven formula. Your brand intelligence is loaded — buyer tensions, selling points, brand voice. The Creative Director generates scripts at volume from the decoded formula. Test with AI talking heads. Find the winner. Then brief real creators with the proven script.
Production speed without proven formulas produces more untested ads.
Proven formulas + volume testing with AI talking heads produces winners you can confidently scale with real creators.
The Volume Trap
Production automation tools make it easy to produce 50 videos from 50 product URLs. But if all 50 videos use the same surface-level script structure, you have 50 ads with one creative entity. They compete against each other in the auction. They fatigue at the same time. Volume without proven formulas is a trap.
The fix: decode winning ads first. Generate scripts from different proven formulas, each loaded with your brand intelligence — buyer tensions, selling points, brand voice. Test with AI talking heads at volume. Find the winners. Then brief real creators with scripts that are already proven to convert. Five structurally distinct scripts from decoded formulas outperform fifty identical auto-generated ones. See our creative diversity guide for the complete framework.
