Does the 360° Spin type work for glossy or dark candles, diffusers and wax melts?

Yes. The opening frame lights the candle for its material, and the 360° Spin motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective candles, diffusers and wax melts, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Which shape should a candles 360° Spin be?

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

Q: Will my candle stay identical through the 360° Spin?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the label, jar color and lid as uploaded, and the 360° Spin motion — the product turns a full circle while the camera and light hold still — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the candle before you publish.

A 360° Spin of candles, diffusers and wax melts is a full turntable rotation on a seamless set, and most candles sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a jar candle and the 360° Spin type renders it: the product turns a full circle while the camera and light hold still, with the label, jar color and lid as photographed.

Use the 360° Spin clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows home-fragrance shoppers a full turntable rotation on a seamless set without breaking Etsy's media rules. Anything with sides and a back worth seeing suit this type best, and candles, diffusers and wax melts are squarely in that group.
