Does the Seasonal type work for glossy or dark totes, backpacks and crossbodies?

Yes. The opening frame lights the bag for its material, and the seasonal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective totes, backpacks and crossbodies, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Which shape should a bags seasonal be?

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

Q: Will my bag stay identical through the seasonal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the leather grain, hardware and stitching as uploaded, and the Seasonal motion — snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the bag before you publish.

For bags, Seasonal means a holiday or seasonal scene with matching motion: snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product. One photo of a leather tote in, a seasonal clip out, leather and hardware identical to the source.

Photograph the bag with the label facing the camera before opening the Seasonal type. Set the shape to 9:16 or 16:9 for Shopify, keep the length at five to eight seconds, and render; the opening frame appears first and the seasonal clip follows.
