How it works

Send the links, get the videos, stay in charge

You've got the products; you need the videos. Send us the links and we'll make them – short-form content for TikTok and Instagram, from the writing to the shot plan. All of it stays on screen and yours to change, so the work gets done without getting away from you. New accounts get 300 free credits.

We make the videos

Send a link and the writing, the styling, and the shot plan are handled. Your day goes back to your customers.

Nothing happens off-screen

You see the brand, the details, and the plan for the video before a credit is spent. No black box, no surprises.

You're always in charge

Change any line, or just say what the video has to do – an offer, a format, who's on camera. Your words reach the render unchanged.

Start here

Paste a product link – or upload photos

A store link is the fastest start – we read the page and bring back the photos, title, price, and description. Nothing to retype. No link? Upload photos and type the details yourself; everything after this step is identical.

Paste a product link

Works with Shopify and most other store product pages. Everything we import stays editable in the two steps that follow.

Upload product photos

Drag in several angles of one product. PNG, JPG, HEIC, TIFF, and WebP are supported.

Your brand

Check the brand we read off your store

Before a line of script exists, we read your store page and draft your brand: name, voice, logo, colors, keywords. Correct it once – every product under that brand inherits it.

Wizard brand step: brand name, brand voice, logo, colors, and keywords

What's on this step

  • Brand name and voice

    Drafted from your product page. Rewrite the voice if it doesn't sound like you.

  • Logo, colors, and keywords

    Pulled from the same page. Upload your own logo, adjust a color, edit the keywords.

  • Reused, not re-asked

    Later imports from the same storefront skip this step. A different storefront gets its own brand – never a silent merge.

A field we can't fill arrives empty and editable, never as an error to clear.

Your product

Confirm the details, then tell the director

Fix what the import got wrong. Drop photos you don't want on camera. Then use Tell the director to say what this video must include – it outranks every choice we make, and reaches the render word for word.

Wizard product step: name, price, description, photos, and Tell the director

What's on this step

  • Name, price, description

    Edit in place; saves as you type. What you approve here is what the video is built from.

  • Photos

    Keep the clear, full-product shots. Remove the rest.

  • Tell the director (optional)

    “Mention the 20% off winter sale” · “hands only, no face” · “ASMR”. One line is usually enough.

Optional means optional – leave it empty and we'll decide that part.

The plan

Read the video's direction, then generate

Every video arrives with a drafted Video direction: the hook, the focus, the format, the limits to respect. Read it, edit any line, or tap Try another angle. We draft it from your product, your brand, and your note – starting from one of 18 proven formats, never from zero.

Then hit Generate. About 227 credits, usually ready in a few minutes. Close the tab if you like – the product page keeps tracking progress.

What's on this step

  • Video direction

    The plan in plain language. Edit it, re-roll it, or clear it and we'll choose.

  • Format

    Every draft leans on one of 18 proven formats – the full list is below. Name one in your note and the director uses it.

  • Ratio, resolution, audio, audience

    The practical settings, including the market and language to speak to.

“Try another angle” never repeats the format you just turned down – and if your note names one, it sticks: re-drafting changes the angle, not the format.

Preview and publish

Play, share, or download the finished MP4

You get a 15–30 second vertical MP4 – short-form content made to post as a TikTok, an Instagram Reel or Story, or to run as a paid ad. Watch it on the page, send a review link to whoever signs off, or download it. Products and videos stay in My Products, so the next video starts from a brand and a description you've already approved.

Finished vertical video with download, share, and preview controls

What's on this step

  • Play

    Watch it before you commit to posting.

  • Share

    A link for a client or a teammate to sign off on.

  • Download

    The MP4, sized and ready for TikTok.

Not what you pictured? Adjust the direction or the note and generate again – the product stays as it is.

The formats

Built on 18 proven video formats

Every direction we draft leans on one of these short-form structures, adapted to your product. Your note always wins: name a format and that's the one we use.

POV

Shot as if through your customer's own eyes – immediate and personal.

Talking head

A creator speaks straight to camera, confident and personal.

Creator review

A personal take that builds to a recommendation: here's what I think, and why.

Hands-on demo

Hands in frame, showing what the product feels like to actually use.

Product showcase

The product front and center, polished and styled to build desire.

Problem / solution

Opens on an everyday annoyance, then shows the product fixing it.

Transformation

A before-and-after built around one visible change.

Tutorial

A clear how-to – simple steps a viewer can follow.

Micro-story

A tiny story with a setup and a satisfying payoff.

Lifestyle

The product at home in an aspirational but believable everyday scene.

Vlog

Casual and spontaneous, like a moment from someone's day.

Montage

Quick cuts on a musical beat – energy over narration.

ASMR

Close-up sound and texture – made to be watched with sound on.

Oddly satisfying

A smooth, rewarding process the eye can't leave – works with sound off.

Cinematic

Mood and atmosphere built from lighting and pacing – the brand-film look.

Editorial

Styled like a fashion spread – expressive, art-directed, look over story.

Product test

One claim about the product, put visibly to the test on camera.

Trend

Playful and current, shaped after what's circulating right now.

This list grows as new structures prove themselves. “Try another angle” re-drafts on a different one.
