Product to Video: Shop Reels Without a Studio Day

The product still is the brief

Product-to-video fails when the SKU photo is a messy flat-lay. Clean the still in the editor first. Then one camera move. Then merge if you need a 15-second story.

This page is the Pixogen-specific version of the topic. Credit numbers below match the generate button in the studio as of August 2026. If a model ships a new badge, we update the routing note here within a day — that is the newsroom rule, not a landing-page rewrite.

Credit math

1 editor clean + 1–2 i2v clips + optional merge. Often under 20 credits per SKU hero.

Credits never expire. Failed jobs refund automatically. Do not budget as if a missed render is gone. Packs start at 200 credits for $19.99; a launch week for a persona is usually cheaper than one stock-license bundle.

Pipeline on Pixogen

/pipelines/product-to-video. Motion vocab: /prompts/motion.

Internal links that belong on this job: the matching tool landing, the pipeline hub, and one glossary term. Do not leave a guide live without those three. Related reading lives in Learn and Academy, not in a footer dump.

Model routing

Wan 3 for fabric products. Seedance if you need a long continuous table take.

If you are choosing an engine for the first time, open /models/compare. Portraits, motion, lipsync and photoreal each have a different default. Wan 3.0 is the motion hero as of this writing; Nano Banana 2 still wins in-image text.

Mistakes that waste credits

• Orbiting a low-res JPEG.
• Three products in one clip.

Publish checklist

1. Lock identity before you batch.
2. Write the credit total on the brief so the client sees the number before the job.
3. Export clean — no watermark — then brand in your editor.
4. Ping the changelog if this guide rode a model drop.
