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

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the label, jar color and lid 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 candle before you publish.

A lifestyle Scene of candles, diffusers and wax melts is b-roll in a real-world scene preset, and most candles sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a jar candle and the Lifestyle Scene type renders it: the camera pushes, drifts or orbits while the scene breathes and the product stays still, with the label, jar color and lid as photographed.

Use the lifestyle Scene clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows home-fragrance shoppers b-roll in a real-world scene preset without breaking Etsy's media rules. Anything bought for a place: kitchen, bathroom, desk, room suit this type best, and candles, diffusers and wax melts are squarely in that group.
