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

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

Which shape should a apparel unboxing be?

9:16 is the usual choice; the shape chips in the Studio switch it before rendering. Shopify and TikTok Shop players each have a preferred shape, listed on the platform pages.

Q: Will my garment stay identical through the unboxing?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the fabric, print, color and fit as uploaded, and the Unboxing motion — hands enter from below, lift the product, turn it once and set it down — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the garment before you publish.

For apparel, Unboxing means hands lifting the product out of an open box: hands enter from below, lift the product, turn it once and set it down. One photo of a linen shirt in, a unboxing clip out, fabric and print identical to the source.

Photograph the garment with the label facing the camera before opening the Unboxing type. Set the shape to 9:16 for Shopify, keep the length at six to eight seconds, and render; the opening frame appears first and the unboxing clip follows.
