How long should a sneakers listing Video 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 Listing Video type work for glossy or dark sneakers and trainers?

Yes. The opening frame lights the sneaker for its material, and the listing Video motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective sneakers and trainers, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Will my sneaker stay identical through the listing Video?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the colorway, sole, laces and side branding as uploaded, and the Listing Video motion — a half-orbit, push-in or rise with even light and nothing else in frame — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the sneaker before you publish.

Sneakers listing Video video

For sneakers, Listing Video means a product-only clip on pure white for the marketplace player: a half-orbit, push-in or rise with even light and nothing else in frame. One photo of a running shoe in, a listing Video clip out, colorway and sole identical to the source.

Photograph the sneaker with the label facing the camera before opening the Listing Video type. Set the shape to 16:9 or 9:16 by marketplace for eBay, keep the length at five to eight seconds, and render; the opening frame appears first and the listing Video clip follows.
