How to make a product video ad from a photo

Start with your product image, choose the message and language, and review a scene plan before generating a finished vertical video. Here is the complete workflow, including what to check before paying and publishing.

Read the English translation
  1. Our celebrations are better with Al Bustan Classic!
  2. With Al Bustan Classic nuts, happy moments are sweeter when shared.
  3. We share joy and nuts together under the stars.
  4. Al Bustan Classic—a partner in every moment of pride.

What the finished example shows

The 24-second example above is an AI-generated celebration ad featuring a packaged nuts product. Its Arabic narration has an English translation in the player. It demonstrates a product appearing within a story; it is not a customer testimonial or a promise of identical output.

Your starting point

A product-only image and an occasion. For your ad, bring your own product photo.

Your approval

Read and edit each spoken line, scene direction and headline before you spend generation credits.

Your finished asset

A vertical MP4 with speech and reviewed text. Check the actual result before putting it into a campaign.

From product photo to finished ad

  1. 01

    Choose the product photo

    Use a clear photo of one product with its packaging visible. JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB are accepted; large images are resized before upload. Use Photo scenes when the original picture, poster text or a person’s photograph must stay intact.

  2. 02

    Describe one ad, in one language

    Name the product, the audience and the occasion. Describe one simple action per scene and supply only claims you can support. Choose the spoken language before preparing the plan. A product reference guides appearance; it does not lock every label or physical detail.

  3. 03

    Review the script, scenes and price

    Edit the spoken lines, the visible action in each scene and the separate on-screen headlines. Read the ending as a customer: what should they do next? Approve this version before generating. Your approved plan and quote stay saved if you leave checkout.

  4. 04

    Generate, review and export

    Generate the approved version, then inspect the complete video: packaging, movement, pronunciation, headlines and closing offer. Download the finished vertical MP4 and upload it to your chosen store or ad platform. Reelry creates the asset; you manage placement and campaign settings.

A brief you can adapt

This coffee-gift brief is a writing example, separate from the finished nuts ad. Replace the product and occasion with your own. Keep each scene to one manageable action and make the closing line match the page you will send buyers to.

Build my product ad
Create a four-scene ad for our packaged coffee, using the product photo. Audience: people choosing a gift for a coffee lover. Show the package on a breakfast table, an adult placing it in a gift bag, a close-up of the product, and a final hero shot. Warm morning light. English narration. End with ‘Explore our coffee gifts.’ Do not invent a discount, certification or delivery promise.

Choose the right treatment for your image

Generate new Cinematic scenes

Use a product-only reference for a new setting, a simple interaction or a product hero. AI can alter details; inspect the packaging, object shape, movements and pronunciation in the result.

Preserve the original in Photo scenes

Use Photo scenes when a poster, label or person’s photograph must remain intact. Arrange 3–8 images, or reuse one image in several scenes. Review the script and quote; photos of people stay still.

Reelry’s terms allow commercial use. Review your image rights, claims and destination platform requirements. A generated demonstration does not verify a product claim.

Before you create

What does one product ad cost?

A $4 one-time pack includes 2 credits, enough for one standard Cinematic generation. It needs no subscription. Another generation uses more credits; review the quote before proceeding. Local checkout pricing may differ.

Will the product look exactly like my photo?

The reference guides the product’s appearance in newly generated scenes. Fine packaging text, shape and physical interactions can vary. Check the result before using it. Choose Photo scenes to preserve your original images rather than recreate them.

What file do I receive?

A 720×1280 vertical MP4. Cinematic uses up to four eight-second scenes; silence trimming can shorten the final video. It includes native speech and optional separately reviewed headlines. Credit-paid exports have no Reelry watermark.

Can I use the video for my business?

Reelry’s terms permit commercial use of generated content. Use product images, names and claims you have the right to use, and review the result and your destination platform’s requirements before publishing. An AI demonstration is not evidence of real product performance or a customer testimonial.

Does Reelry connect to my Shopify store or run ads?

Reelry creates a video from your photo and brief. You download the MP4 and upload it yourself. It does not import your Shopify catalog, edit product listings, connect an ad account or manage campaigns.

Bring the product you want to sell

Make one focused ad, review the output and decide whether to create another. A $4 pack gets you started without a subscription.
