Create a Product Video

Turn a product reference into two short video shots, review their generation settings and results, then assemble a finished video with Smart Edit.

Make an eight-second vertical product film from a reference photo: a four-second reveal followed by a four-second detail shot. This workflow covers planning, reference reuse, generation, review, and final assembly.

The screenshots use the product reference supplied by the homepage's Beauty CGI ad example. You can follow the same steps with your own product image.

1. Add the product and brief the film

On Home, select Beauty CGI ad to load its sample photo and brief. To use your own product, remove the sample attachment, add your product photo, and update the wording.

Start with a small brief:

Create an 8-second vertical 9:16 product film for the serum
in the attached photo. Use a clean pink studio, soft light,
gentle camera motion, and a dewy skincare mood.
Keep the bottle shape and label consistent with the reference.
No people, fruit, dialogue, music, or added text.
First propose two shots and explain the workflow.
Do not generate assets yet. Reply in English.
Product reference: Start from the editable homepage example or replace its attachment with your own product.

2. Approve the direction and prepare the shots

Review the proposed setting, motion, and timing. For example:

ShotPurposeDirection
Shot 1 — The RevealIntroduce the productGentle push-in on the bottle in the pink studio
Shot 2 — Dewy DetailEnd on a product detailSubtle camera move, followed by a steady hold

Ask Agent to turn the plan into tasks:

Use a clean studio with no fruit.
Keep this to two 4-second shots and an 8-second final video.
Add the reference and both video nodes to the Canvas, ready for generation.
Show the model, duration, resolution, reference, and exact cost for each.
Wait for me to use the generation confirmation controls.

In Workflow, check that the reference connects to the intended shots. Select a shot's title in chat to locate its node.

3. Check the settings, then generate

Open each shot and inspect its prompt, reference, model, and Generation settings. In the pictured run, the two nodes used Seedance 2 Mini, 9:16, 720p, 4s, and Muted. These are an example setup, not a requirement for every product film.

Shot settings: Check ratio, resolution, duration, and audio on the selected video node.
Shot settingsCheck ratio, resolution, duration, and audio on the selected video node.

Open Generations above the chat input. Use Confirm for an individual waiting shot, or Confirm all after reviewing every currently offered task. A node's Generate control can also submit its task.

Generate the shots: Review the waiting tasks before confirming one or all of them.

The example quoted 10 credits per shot at the time of capture. Your live quote may differ. Check it before clicking; the generation control may submit immediately without another dialog.

4. Play each shot before assembly

Open Assets → Videos and select a result. Use the preview to check the full clip, including its last frame. Agent may also review completed results and suggest a correction.

Check the product shape and packaging, readable label text, camera movement, framing, and audio. A completed task means a file was generated; it does not mean every detail of the brief is correct.

Review each video: Inspect the actual result before deciding whether to revise or assemble it.

In this sample run, the product lettering was not reliably preserved. Reference photos and precise wording help guide the model, but do not guarantee exact text. If packaging fidelity matters, correct the affected shot and review it again before using the film commercially.

To request a correction, mention the affected node with @ and explain the mismatch:

The label in Shot 2 does not match the reference photo.
Prepare a revision using the original product reference.
Keep Shot 1 unchanged. Show the new settings and cost before generating.

See Refine and Reuse Your Results for separate versions and targeted edits.

5. Assemble the completed clips

When you are ready to use the two shots, describe the edit in chat:

Use the two completed shots.
Assemble Shot 1 followed by Shot 2 into one exactly 8-second
vertical video, 720 x 1280, using a hard cut at 4 seconds.
Trim each source clip to 4 seconds and keep the audio fully muted.
Preserve the original clips. Do not generate new media.
Create the composition for preview and download.

Agent prepares a Smart Edit composition node. Open it, review the plan and output format, then run it using Generate or its waiting-task confirmation control.

Smart Edit: Combine existing clips into a separate final-video node.
Smart EditCombine existing clips into a separate final-video node.

This assembly uses existing media. The sample composition displayed a cost of zero credits. Generating a replacement clip, image, or soundtrack is a separate operation with its own quote.

To change the final order or timing, describe the change in chat. The composition's output format comes from the edit plan; its card is not a video-model picker.

6. Review and download the final video

Wait for the final video to become playable. Open the composition result and check that Shot 1 comes first, the cut happens at four seconds, the end is not cut short, and the audio matches your request.

Final video: Play the assembled result and use Download to save it.
Final videoPlay the assembled result and use Download to save it.

Use Download in the preview to save the file. Your original shots remain in the project, so you can return later and request a different edit without starting the entire film again.
