  Cinematic Ads remakes an existing video ad, the **original ad**, for your own app or brand: the same shots, timing and style, with new people, product, language and brand kit. Through the Wandura MCP server, an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) runs the same studio as the web, one step at a time. It is for members of a workspace with Cinematic Ads turned on, and it spends that workspace's credits at cost, at the same prices as the web.

  # Cinematic Ads with your AI assistant (MCP)
  
- Cinematic Ads remakes a reference video ad for your own app or brand: the same shots, timing and style, with new people, product, language and brand kit. Through the Wandura MCP server, an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) runs the same studio as the web, one step at a time. It is for members of a workspace with Cinematic Ads turned on, and it spends that workspace's credits at cost, at the same prices as the web.

  - **A workspace with Cinematic Ads turned on**, where you are Owner, Admin or Member (Viewers cannot use it). Cinematic Ads is turned on per workspace: ask Wandura at [support@wandura.ai](mailto:support@wandura.ai). See [Getting started with workspaces](getting-started.md).
  - **Credits in your wallet in that workspace.** See [Credits, pool and wallets](credits.md).

+ - **The original ad as a public link** to the file itself: MP4 or MOV, up to 3 minutes and 300 MB. A Google Drive or YouTube page link does not work.
  - **Your brand material as public links** (optional): app icon, product photos, mascot, end card, app screenshots or screen recordings. Images can be PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 20 MB.

  ## Make an ad, step by step {#steps}
  
- 1. **Create a project** with the reference ad link (`cinematic_ads_create_project`). If you have several Cinematic Ads workspaces, say which one pays. Projects start vertical (9:16): for a landscape or square ad, ask for the right aspect before the analysis.
- 2. **Analyze** the ad (`cinematic_ads_analyze`, paid). The assistant first asks for a quote with `price_only`, which spends nothing. The analysis plans the shots, speech, characters, products and places. It takes a few minutes.
- 3. **Check the project** (`cinematic_ads_get_project`) until its status is `ready`.
- 4. **Optional:** set the brand kit, language and video model (`cinematic_ads_update_project`), find the ad's brand mentions and app screens (`cinematic_ads_brand_scan`), describe changes in plain words (`cinematic_ads_refine`, which only proposes), and edit characters, products and places or give them your own image by URL (`cinematic_ads_update_asset`).

+ 2. **Analyze** the original ad (`cinematic_ads_analyze`, paid). The assistant first tells you the price of the analysis. The analysis plans the shots, speech, characters, products and places. It takes a few minutes.
+ 3. **Check the project** (`cinematic_ads_get_project`) until its status is `ready`. Right then, the assistant gives you **one estimate** for the images, clips and final video together.
+ 4. **Optional:** set the brand kit, language and video model (`cinematic_ads_update_project`), find the original ad's brand mentions and app screens (`cinematic_ads_brand_scan`), describe changes in plain words (`cinematic_ads_refine`, which only proposes), and edit characters, products and places or give them your own image by URL (`cinematic_ads_update_asset`).
  5. **Make the images** of the characters, products and places (`cinematic_ads_make_images`, paid, one image each).
  6. **Make the video** (`cinematic_ads_make_video`, paid). Clips take several minutes.
⋯
  8. **Export** the final video (`cinematic_ads_export`, paid). When the export is done, the project shows a link to the final video.
  
- You can open the same project on the web at `www.wandura.ai/cinematic-ads` at any step.
+ After the estimate, the assistant runs the paid steps one after another without asking before each one. You can open the same project on the web at `www.wandura.ai/cinematic-ads` at any step.

  Tool names in the table drop the `cinematic_ads_` prefix. Templates save a project's settings and brand kit so you can reuse them on the next ad.
  
+ ## Turn it off for a workspace {#mcp-switch}
+ 
+ Cinematic Ads in AI assistants is **on by default** in every workspace with Cinematic Ads. The workspace Owner or an Admin can turn it off: open the workspace page, tab **Overview**, card **Cinematic Ads in AI assistants**. While it is off, members cannot use Cinematic Ads through an AI assistant (the tools answer `not_found`). The Cinematic Ads web studio keeps working.
+ 
+ ## Your data and safety {#security}
+ 
+ - **Only what the web studio shows comes back.** The way Wandura writes the instructions behind each clip stays on Wandura's side.
+ - **Each person sees only their own projects**, the workspace Owner included, just as on the web.
+ - **Technical errors come back as a plain sentence**, without system details.
+ - **Files go in by public link only**, and each file must really be an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP) or a video (MP4, MOV). Wandura checks the file itself, not only its name or label.
+ 
  ## Example prompt {#example-prompt}
  
⋯
  ```text
  Use Wandura Cinematic Ads. Call cinematic_ads_guide first and follow it.
- Remake this ad for my app <app name>: <public link to the MP4>.
+ Remake this ad for my app <app name>. Original ad: <public link to the MP4>.
  Workspace: <workspace name>. Language: <language>. App icon: <image link>.
- Quote every paid step and wait for my OK before you run it.
+ Tell me the credit estimate, then run all the steps without stopping.
  Report after each step and give me the final video link at the end.
  ```

  | The assistant reports | What it means | What to do |
  |---|---|---|
- | `not_found` (404), or no workspace listed | Your account has no workspace with Cinematic Ads turned on, or the id is wrong | Ask Wandura to turn it on for your workspace, or check you are signed in with the right account |
+ | `not_found` (404), or no workspace listed | Your account has no workspace with Cinematic Ads turned on, the workspace's Owner or Admin turned off **Cinematic Ads in AI assistants**, or the id is wrong | Ask Wandura to turn Cinematic Ads on, ask the Owner or Admin to turn the switch back on, or check you are signed in with the right account |
  | `no_credits` with `need` and `available` | Your wallet in the workspace has fewer credits than the step needs | Ask a workspace Owner or Admin for the missing credits |
  | Too many images and videos being made at once | Some images were started; the rest are listed as waiting | Ask the assistant to call make images again in a minute |
