Field guide

Structured to feel more like a premium operator resource and less like a thin text page.

1. Start with the input photos

Pick images that already show the product clearly. A strong set usually includes a hero shot, a detail crop, and one or two support frames.

2. Decide the goal before you generate

A listing video, a product page clip, and a paid social ad do not need the same pacing. Choose the job first so the output feels intentional.

3. Choose a motion style that fits the product

Match the movement to the category instead of forcing every product into the same template.

What this guide covers

Clear context, concrete checks, and an obvious next action.

Section 01

1. Start with the input photos

Pick images that already show the product clearly. A strong set usually includes a hero shot, a detail crop, and one or two support frames.

3 items
Use sharp, well-lit product images.
Keep the background simple enough that the item stays readable.
Add extra angles only if they support the same story.

Section 02

2. Decide the goal before you generate

A listing video, a product page clip, and a paid social ad do not need the same pacing. Choose the job first so the output feels intentional.

3 items
Conversion pages need clarity and trust.
Ad creatives need a stronger hook and faster pace.
Launch assets often sit between the two.

Section 03

3. Choose a motion style that fits the product

Match the movement to the category instead of forcing every product into the same template.

3 items
Premium goods often look better with softer motion.
Fast commerce ads may need more contrast and energy.
Feature-led products can reveal the benefit step by step.

Section 04

4. Export and adapt by channel

Once the base cut looks right, adjust the framing, pacing, and ending for each channel.

3 items
Crop and tighten for mobile-first placements.
Keep the opening frame strong for paid social.
Make sure the final version still reads cleanly on a product page.

Section 05

5. Keep the process task-first

Template-driven workflows usually outperform raw prompting because the goal, motion style, and output format are already constrained.

3 items
Use the task that matches the channel or use case.
Generate variants after you know the job to be done.
Move back to the tool once the creative direction is clear.
