Step 1: choose the photo

  • Sharp, well lit, with the whole product in view
  • A plain or simple background
  • JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB

Step 2: choose the camera move

  • Slow zoom in to focus attention
  • Orbit around to show shape
  • Pan left or right to sweep across items
  • Gentle float for a soft, calm feel

Step 3: choose the sound

Pick music in one of ten styles, or write a voiceover script of up to 50 words and choose a male or female voice. You get one or the other.

Step 4: choose the size

Vertical 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, horizontal 16:9 for websites. Full HD or 4K.

Check before you post

The AI imagines the motion, so small text and logos can shift. Look at the finished video before you publish it.

A quick pre-flight checklist

  • Is the product fully in frame and sharp?
  • Is the background free of clutter and other products?
  • Have you picked one camera move rather than several?
  • Is your voiceover under 50 words and accurate?
  • Have you checked the finished clip for shifted labels or logos?
