How long should a apparel lifestyle Scene be?

Five to ten seconds. Shorter clips compress the motion; longer ones slow it down rather than adding more. Render two lengths and keep the one that reads best on a phone.

Does the Lifestyle Scene type work for glossy or dark tees, dresses and jackets?

Yes. The opening frame lights the garment for its material, and the lifestyle Scene motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective tees, dresses and jackets, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Q: Will my garment stay identical through the lifestyle Scene?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the fabric, print, color and fit as uploaded, and the Lifestyle Scene motion — the camera pushes, drifts or orbits while the scene breathes and the product stays still — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the garment before you publish.

For apparel, Lifestyle Scene means b-roll in a real-world scene preset: the camera pushes, drifts or orbits while the scene breathes and the product stays still. One photo of a linen shirt in, a lifestyle Scene clip out, fabric and print identical to the source.

Photograph the garment with the label facing the camera before opening the Lifestyle Scene type. Set the shape to 16:9 or 9:16 for Shopify, keep the length at five to ten seconds, and render; the opening frame appears first and the lifestyle Scene clip follows.
