Product video from photos: the ten-minute workflow
You have product photos. You need a video by tonight. This is the shortest honest path from one to the other on 2036 Studios, with the timings we actually see.
Minute 0 to 2: pick a format
Open Marketing Studio and choose a product-first format. Product Hero for a clean tabletop spot, Hyper Motion for energy, Unboxing for a reveal, Before / After for a transformation, TV Spot for widescreen, Giant Figure or Crush Test for something people stop on. Every format page shows a sample made with that exact format so you can pick by eye.
Minute 2 to 4: add the product
Paste the product page URL and the studio pulls name, copy and shots, or upload two or three photos. Front label first. If the label is small, add one close-up. Oversized photos are resized for you and odd shapes are cropped into range.
Minute 4 to 8: generate
Read the prompt the format wrote, change any dialogue to your words, press Generate. A 720p 8-second product ad renders in a few minutes and costs in the 30 to 40 credit range, roughly $2 on the Basic plan. If the label is not readable in the result, swap in a flatter photo and render again; failed renders refund on their own.
Minute 8 to 10: caption and export
Open the clip in Cinema Studio. Add a caption in one of six styles, drop a music track under it, trim the ends, export. The file is in your library and ready to post in 9:16.
Going further
- Render three formats with the same product and stitch a 24-second spot with crossfades.
- Add a presenter with a UGC format for a testimonial version.
- Render the final at 1080p once the 720p version is right.
- Make a still for the thumbnail in Image Studio with the same product reference.
Questions, answered
Will my product look exactly like the photo?+
The product image anchors every shot, so label, colors and design stay consistent. Give it a clean, well-lit photo and it holds.
Can I add my logo?+
Yes. Upload it as an extra reference and ask for it on an end card, or add it as a title in Cinema Studio.
What if I have no product photos yet?+
Generate them. Image Studio makes studio-style product shots from a description, and those images work as video references.
