Create One-Shot Product Videos for Instagram and TikTok

Transform your product photos into cinematic one-shot videos that stand out on Instagram Reels and TikTok. This advanced workflow lets you generate visually cohesive short videos featuring your products or models in creative, cinematic scenes using minimal inputs — just two reference characters and an inspiration text.

How It Works

The process runs through six key stages to build a 30-second seamless video from simple inputs.

Step 1: Generate the Cinematic Script

The first step uses a text transformation block that acts as a creative director. It turns your inspiration text into a six-part script describing how each scene unfolds — what’s happening, the setting, and the tone. Each segment represents a short 5-second shot that contributes to the overall narrative.

Step 2: Break Down Frame Details

Next, six additional text blocks refine those segments, extracting the visual details of each frame. These detailed prompts ensure consistency across your shots while giving enough variation for cinematic flow.

Step 3: Generate Starting Frames

Using the frame descriptions and reference character images, the workflow creates six visual frames. Select a 9:16 aspect ratio for optimal results on TikTok and Instagram. Each image stays consistent with your character design and visual theme.

Step 4: Define Transitions

To achieve the “one-shot” feel, a new set of text prompts describes how the camera moves between scenes — ensuring smooth transitions from one frame to the next. Since there are six frames, you’ll need five seamless transitions.

Step 5: Create Transition Videos

Feed the starting and ending frames (from each transition) into the video generation model to produce five continuous clips. Each clip captures the natural camera movement between scenes, creating fluid motion and visual cohesion.

Step 6: Combine and Finalize

Finally, merge all the generated videos using the Reels Create block. You can add background audio for extra impact before exporting the final 30-second video — ready to post on your social platforms.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep your character reference images and framing consistent.
• If transitions appear jarring, refine the output images from earlier steps.
• Experiment with different inspiration texts to achieve diverse cinematic effects.

This workflow allows you to produce highly creative, story-driven product videos every week — perfect for keeping your brand’s social media presence fresh, consistent, and visually stunning.
