Does the Seasonal type work for glossy or dark sneakers and trainers?

Yes. The opening frame lights the sneaker for its material, and the seasonal 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 seasonal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the colorway, sole, laces and side branding 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 sneaker before you publish.

Which shape should a sneakers seasonal be?

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

Sneakers seasonal video

A seasonal of sneakers and trainers is a holiday or seasonal scene with matching motion, and most sneakers sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a running shoe and the Seasonal type renders it: snow, petals, confetti or summer light move around a still product, with the colorway, sole, laces and side branding as photographed.

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