How long should a skincare seasonal be?

Five to eight seconds. Shorter clips compress the motion; longer ones slow it down rather than adding more. Render two lengths and keep the one that reads best on a phone.

Does the Seasonal type work for glossy or dark serums, creams and cleansers?

Yes. The opening frame lights the serum for its material, and the seasonal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective serums, creams and cleansers, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Q: Will my serum stay identical through the seasonal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the label, dropper and bottle color 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 serum before you publish.

For skincare, 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 serum bottle in, a seasonal clip out, label and dropper identical to the source.

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