Product Videos

Product Videos turns a product image into a short animated video you can add straight to your Shopify catalog. Pick a product or upload an image, choose an animation prompt (or write your own), generate, preview, then push the finished clip to your product as new Shopify media.

1. What You Need

  • Input: any single product image works, garments, accessories, furniture, electronics, and everything in between. There's no restriction on product type.
  • A note on licensing: make sure you're allowed to use the source image for further processing.

2. Workflow Steps

  1. Choose Your Product Image

    • Click Catalog to pick an existing product using Shopify's product picker, or click Upload to add a new image instead.

  2. Pick or Write a Prompt

    • Brandmachine suggests exactly 4 animation prompts tailored to your product. Click one to use it as is.
    • Want something different? Edit the prompt directly in the text field (placeholder: "Describe the video animation you want to create..."). There's no character limit, write as much detail as you need.

  3. Generate Video

    • Click Generate Video. Generation takes a few minutes. If you regenerate later, this button reads Generate New Version instead.

  4. Preview

    • Once rendering finishes, the video appears in the preview area so you can watch it before deciding to use it.

  5. Upload to Product Catalog

    • Click Upload to Product Catalog to attach the video to the product in Shopify. The video is added as a new media item, your original product image is kept, not replaced.
    • A success banner confirms the upload.
    • If the upload fails (e.g. API permissions revoked), reach out to support@brandmachine.shop.

3. FAQs

  1. Can I upload any product image, or does it need a specific background?

    • Any clear product image works, studio shots, lifestyle images, or flat lays.

  2. Which AI model is used for generation?

    • We use best-in-class external video models and keep them updated, so you don't have to think about it.

  3. What if I don't like the suggested prompts?

    • Edit the prompt directly in the text field before generating, or generate a version and try a different prompt afterward.

  4. How long does it take to generate a video?

    • Typically a few minutes per video.

  5. Can I regenerate until I like the result?

    • Yes, generating and regenerating both use credits, so this depends on your plan's quota. See Billing & Credits.

  6. Will the video replace my original product image?

    • No. The video is added as a new media item alongside your existing images on the Shopify product page. Your original image remains intact.

  7. Is the generated video optimized, so it won't negatively affect my store's performance?

    • Yes. Shopify handles the upload and optimizes the video, which is also why it can take a few minutes for the video to be ready within Shopify after the upload itself completes.
