Which video type should a books seller start with?

Lifestyle Scene Video first, then Feature Close-up and Seasonal Product Video. The pages below open the Studio with the settings for books, journals and planners already chosen.

Will the book look like the real item?

Every opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the cover art, title and spine as photographed, and the clip animates that frame. Compare the frame and the clip with the book in hand before publishing; AI renders can still change small details.

What does a books clip cost?

A five-second 720p clip is 116 credits with its opening frame; the same at draft 360p is 46. A new account's 45 free credits cover a short draft book clip.

Product videos for books

Books sell on cover and mood: a cafe table push-in, a macro on the foil title, a festive gift scene. Cover art is never redrawn.

Books, journals and planners filmed as lifestyle Scene, feature Close-up or seasonal clips all start from the same photo, and the cover art, title and spine stay as shot in every frame. The motion that sells books is a slow push-in on a cafe table with warm light; the opening frame sets the stage and the clip adds it.
