Product video ads from the photos you already have
Turn a saved product into a short commercial: a scene from the Ideas library, camera motion and sound, in every ratio from 9:16 Stories to 16:9 YouTube.
Scenes to start from in the Kive library
Floating studio shots, splashes and styled still lifes. Remix any of them with your product, then animate it.
A commercial clip without the commercial shoot
Video ads outperform stills in most feeds, and they cost the most to make: a set, a camera crew, a motion designer and a new shoot whenever the product changes. Most catalogs end up with video for the hero product and stills for everything else.
Kive starts from the product photos you already have. Save the product once, pick a scene from the Ideas library, and the Kive Agent renders a 4 to 15 second clip around your actual product, with camera motion and sound in the same render. Keep the scene and change the motion, or keep the motion and change the scene, and you have the next variant.
How a product video ad gets made in Kive
- 1Save your product: one to four clean photos, once. Every frame is anchored to them, so shape, label and color stay the product’s own.
- 2Pick the scene: remix a look from the Ideas library, like a floating studio shot, a splash or a styled still life, or set your own first frame.
- 3Direct the motion: describe the camera move and what happens in the clip, turn sound on for effects, and choose length and ratio.
- 4Render and vary: review the clip, then change one thing at a time — scene, motion, ratio — to build a set for testing.
Three product video ads, made in Kive
Each one started as a look in the Ideas library, remixed with a saved product, then rendered as a short 9:16 clip with sound. Tap a clip to hear it.
Studio hero: a white court sneaker floats in drifting smoke while the light sweeps across the leather.
Tech reveal: black over-ear headphones over a reflective floor, with a slow push-in and a blue light sweep.
Drink shot: a cold silver can with condensation, a translucent ribbon unfurling around it.
What a product clip needs, built in
Generated from product photos and a short brief, ready for the placements you run.
Every ratio, 4 to 15 seconds
Render in 9:16, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 21:9 at 4 to 15 seconds, so each placement gets its own frame instead of a crop.
Your product, not a lookalike
Clips are anchored to your saved product photos, so shape, color and label carry into the motion. Check fine print on every take.
Start and end frames
Set the first or last frame from an approved image, so the clip opens or lands exactly on the shot you signed off.
Sound in the same render
Turn sound on for effects and ambience, or a voiceover line in quotes, without a separate audio pass.
Scenes from the Ideas library
Start from a look that already works — floating studio shots, splashes, styled still lifes — and remix it with your product.
Variants in the same chat
Ask the Agent for a new camera move, a new scene or a new ratio, and each take lands next to the last one for comparison.
Start from a prompt
Three product clip formats to adapt. Open one in Kive with the prompt filled in; nothing renders until you send it.
Studio hero shot
Make an 8-second vertical 9:16 product video of my product, with sound. The product floats in a dark studio with soft haze, the camera orbits slowly and a line of light sweeps across it. Keep the product exactly the same and show only the side visible in my photos. Soft whoosh, no voice, no music, no text. Ask me which product to use.
Ingredient reveal
Make an 8-second vertical 9:16 product video of my product, with sound. The product stands on a pale surface while its key ingredients drift into frame around it in slow motion, then settle. Gentle push-in, bright natural light, soft ambient sound, no voice, no text. Ask me which product to use.
Lifestyle moment
Make an 8-second 16:9 product video of my product in use, with sound. A person picks the product up from a table in a sunlit home and uses it once, shot handheld with natural light. Keep the product exactly the same. Room tone only, no voice, no music, no text. Ask me which product to use.
