Dubai – – September 19, 2026 -- OpenClips has launched a platform that turns a single product page link into a finished, production-ready video advertisement, aggregating more than 45 video and image generation models into a single interface.

Platform Skips the Prompt Stage That Consumes Campaign Time

Most AI video tools open with an empty prompt field, forcing users to write scripts and plan shots before any rendering begins. OpenClips instead reads the product page directly, pulling imagery, features and positioning to build a scene-by-scene storyboard automatically.

"Right now there is no faster way to get a production-ready ad out of a product page," said Dan Petkovic, CEO of OpenClips. "Every other tool hands you an empty prompt box and calls it creative freedom. You should be able to paste a link and get back something you can actually run."
