Does the Seasonal type work for glossy or dark sunglasses and frames?

Yes. The opening frame lights the pair of sunglasses for its material, and the seasonal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective sunglasses and frames, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Which shape should a eyewear 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 pair of sunglasses stay identical through the seasonal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the frame shape, lens tint and temple logo 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 pair of sunglasses before you publish.

A seasonal of sunglasses and frames is a holiday or seasonal scene with matching motion, and most eyewear sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a pair of sunglasses and the Seasonal type renders it: snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product, with the frame shape, lens tint and temple logo as photographed.

Use the seasonal clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows eyewear shoppers a holiday or seasonal scene with matching motion without breaking Shopify's media rules. Gifting categories and seasonal campaigns suit this type best, and sunglasses and frames are squarely in that group.
