Show the product before you sell the promise
A product showcase should help someone understand the object: its shape, material, scale and finish. Begin with a photograph that already shows the correct packaging and visible details. A small camera move can make that view easier to inspect, while an ambitious transformation can introduce unwanted changes. Think of this page as a way to plan one product shot, such as a bottle on a counter or a bag on a display stand. Generated footage needs inspection before it represents an item for sale; resemblance is a goal rather than a guarantee.
How it works
- Upload a clear product photograph that you own or have permission to use. Choose a view with the entire item visible and enough space around its edges for a modest camera move.
- Describe one showcase action: a slow push toward the item, a short lateral slide, or a gentle change in perspective. State which packaging details should remain consistent.
- Choose a live video model, inspect the duration and credit quote, then generate one clip. Download the result and check the product silhouette, label and surface details before using it.
Writing tips for ai product video
- Use a clean source: dust, reflections and a busy background can compete with the product. Choose a photograph where the object is already the main subject.
- Describe materials concretely: brushed steel, frosted glass and woven cotton communicate more than a request for a luxurious commercial.
- Keep the move physically modest: a small lateral slide asks for less unseen information than a full view of the back of a single photographed item.
- Separate object movement from camera movement: ask for a stationary bottle and a moving camera when the bottle itself should stay still.
- Check commercial accuracy: compare logos, dimensions and accessories with the source. Discard a result that invents a feature or changes the packaging.
Original example prompts
Use the uploaded bottle photograph as the start frame. The bottle stays upright on the pale stone surface while the camera slowly pushes closer. Keep the cap shape and front label placement consistent; soft window reflections move subtly across the glass.
Begin from this canvas backpack photo. Make a short camera slide from left to right, keeping the backpack centered and still. Show the texture of the fabric and the existing zipper pulls under even studio lighting.
Animate this ceramic cup photograph with a gentle push toward the handle. Keep the rim circular and the cup stationary. Retain the simple background and use a calm, continuous camera movement.
Recommended models and starting choices
Use Seedance 2.0 Fast in Image to Video for a short test of a product photograph with a small camera move. A 5-second shot keeps the review focused on the object outline, label and contact shadow. If you need a 720p output to inspect finer visible details, try Kling 3.0 and compare the result against the source; higher resolution does not guarantee label accuracy. Keep the product within the 16:9 frame and change one lighting or movement instruction per test.
Credits and costs
New accounts start with 0 credits; purchase a plan or credit pack before generating. A 5-second Seedance 2.0 Fast video at 480p in Image to Video costs 6 credits. Testing the same product with two separately requested lighting directions uses 12 credits. Reserve that budget before comparing a soft side light with a brighter studio look, and inspect the quoted cost before changing the model.

Frequently asked questions
Can I start from an actual product photo?
Yes. Image to Video accepts a start image. A clear photograph gives the shot a concrete starting point, but you must inspect whether the generated item still matches the product.
Will my packaging stay exact?
Exact reproduction is not guaranteed. Check labels, small print, proportions and included accessories before publishing a commercial product shot.
How many product shots does one request make?
One video request produces one clip. Create another shot with a separate request and a separate credit quote.
What should I do with the finished clip?
Download it, review the product details and use the approved file in your own product marketing workflow.
