How do I make a promo video from a product photo?

1. Take one clear photo. Daylight, label facing the camera, nothing covering the product. A phone photo on a table is fine.
2. Pick the tool for the job. 360 Product Video for a turntable spin, Product Demo for a cinematic showcase from up to 5 photos, UGC Ad Wizard for a voiced ad, or the AI Video Ad Generator when you want to describe a scene.
3. Draft cheap, then finish. Run the first version on Seedance 2 Mini at 480p. When the shot is right, render it at 720p or on a higher model. The price shows before you click Generate.

Bakery promo video

Food sells on texture, so close-ups beat wide shots.

• From a photo: upload a photo of your best cake or loaf to Product Demo and ask for "slow push-in, warm morning light, a little flour dust in the air".
• From a prompt: in the AI Video Ad Generator, try "Croissants coming out of the oven on a tray, steam rising, golden flakes falling, a small bakery counter behind, cozy morning light." Tagline: "Fresh every morning from 7."
• Budget plan: three 5-second ads at 17 credits each (51 credits) plus a spin of your signature cake (7 credits) is 58 credits, well inside one pack.

Put your opening hours and address as a caption, not in the prompt. AI video often misspells small text inside the scene.

Shopify product video

Shopify product pages and collection pages do well with a short loop that shows the product from every side.

• Make a 360 spin per product on the Marketplace White style for the product page.
• Make one Product Demo showcase for the home page banner.
• Make one or two promo ads for Instagram and Facebook at 9:16 and 1:1.

For still images to go with the video, the AI Product Listing Photos tool makes a white-background main image and infographics at 5 credits per image.

TikTok Shop product video

TikTok Shop is vertical and fast. Use 9:16, put the product on screen in the first second, and keep it short.

• UGC style: the UGC Ad Wizard writes the hook, records a voice-over, cuts b-roll from your photo and adds captions. About 118 credits for the first ad, about 116 for each extra hook from the same photo, so test two hooks with one Lite pack.
• Talking creator: the UGC Ad Creator makes an AI creator holding your product and speaking to camera. A 5-second Seedance 2 clip at 480p is 38 credits.
• Quick loops: spins and 5-second ads at 7 to 17 credits let you post a new video every day without a big spend.

Why pay per video instead of a subscription?

• Credits do not run out at month end. One-time pack credits never expire.
• Nothing to cancel. You buy a pack when you need one.
• You see the price first. Every tool shows the credit cost before it runs.
• Many models, one balance. The same credits work for Seedance, Veo, Kling, Runway and the image tools.

Monthly plans are there for people who prefer them, starting at $15 a month for 300 credits. See pricing.

Tips to stretch $20

• Test the prompt at 480p first. A 480p draft on Seedance 2 Mini costs about half the 720p price.
• Reuse one good photo across tools: a spin, a showcase and an ad.
• Keep ads to 5 to 8 seconds. Longer clips cost more and rarely perform better for a single product.
• Write one clear concept line per ad. Vague prompts lead to regenerations.
• Collect the daily check-in credits; a 7-day streak adds 25 credits.
