AI CREATIVE WORKSPACE

# Animated commercials, built from a real product

Describe the visual world, the transition and the product moment. The studio generates a draft you can react to, then you refine the pacing or the scene.

-   Product-first video, image and presenter tools
-   A credit quote before you generate
-   One asset library for the whole set

A practical workflow to build an animated commercial direction around one product. It runs on the same studio, credit balance and asset library as every other tool in the workspace.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

## How the workflow runs

1.  01
    
    ### Add a product reference or write the brief
    
    Upload a product image or reference frame. Add the audience, offer and the moment the video should show.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Pick a format and model
    
    Choose the aspect ratio, duration and quality. The studio shows the credit cost for that exact setup before you submit.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Generate, review and refine
    
    Review each output against the brief, keep the strongest direction and make the next variation from the same project.
    

03 / WHAT YOU CAN DO

## Built around the product, not a generic template

01 / PRODUCT FIRST

### Keep the item recognizable while the scene moves

Start from a product photo, a reference frame or a clear brief. AI animated commercials keeps the offered item as the anchor while the model adds motion, light and camera direction. The goal is a usable draft that still looks like the product you sell.

02 / HOOK & PACING

### Give the first two seconds a job

Describe the opening beat, the one benefit to land and the action you want. short product video ads work when the hook, product moment and ending are planned together. The studio turns that direction into a prompt you can iterate on, not a one-off roll of the dice. Brief to test: build an animated commercial direction around one product.

03 / ITERATION

### Change one variable at a time

Duplicate the brief and swap the hook, presenter, scene or call to action. performance marketers and ecommerce teams can compare directions in the same workspace and carry the strongest treatment into the next test instead of restarting from zero.

### Credits before commitment

Every model shows its rate and the studio quotes the job before you submit.

### Assets stay together

Uploads, generations and approved cuts live in the same workspace.

### A repeatable loop instead of a one-off production

| Area | This workflow | A manual production loop |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Starting point | A product photo, reference frame or brief | A blank timeline or a new shoot brief |
| Next version | Duplicate the brief and change one variable | Re-book talent, studio and edit time |
| Cost visibility | A credit quote before you submit | Quotes after scope and production meetings |

07 / FAQ

## Questions about this workflow

What is AI animated commercials?

It is a guided workflow for build an animated commercial direction around one product. You bring the product and the direction; the studio handles the generation settings and keeps the output in one place.

Do I need a product photo?

A clear product image helps the model keep shape, packaging and colour consistent. A reference frame or a written brief can also start a concept depending on the selected tool.

Can I choose the format?

Yes. Pick the ratio, duration and quality that match the placement before generating.

How much does it cost?

Each model has a credit rate. The studio shows the exact cost for the selected quality, duration and count before you submit.

Can I use the result in paid ads?

The output is a draft for your review. Check product details, claims and platform rules, then export the version you approve.
