How to make a Shopify product video without a camera

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Use the product photo you already have. Add it to Rift, tell Spark the shot, such as a slow turn on a clean white set or a lifestyle scene on a kitchen counter, and check the Draft. Tap Make and a video of up to 15 seconds lands in your Library, ready to upload to your Shopify product page or homepage.

Turn the product photo you already have into a video for your Shopify page. Tell Spark the shot, check the Draft and Make, with no camera or studio.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add the photo. Open Rift and add the product shot.
  2. Describe the shot. Say the set, the move and the light.
  3. Check the Draft. Spark shows the shots and what stays the same, such as your label and shape.
  4. Make. Tap Make. The price shows on the button first.
  5. Upload. Find the video in your Library and add it to the product page in your store.

For a whole catalogue, build the look once and reuse it. Save a video as a format and reuse it with a new photo shows how.

Tips for a clean result

What Rift does not do

Rift makes the video. It does not edit your store, post for you or add text over the video; those stay in your store and posting tools.

Questions people ask

Do I need a studio photo?

No. A clean, sharp photo near a window on a plain surface is enough. Wipe the product first.

Can I make a video for every product in my store?

Yes, one at a time. Add a photo, describe the shot, Make. Save a good Draft as a format and run it again with the next product photo.

Will the product page upload accept it?

The video is a standard phone video saved to your Library. Upload it wherever your store lets you add one.

Does Rift upload to my store?

No. Rift makes the video and saves it. You upload it yourself.

Can I make a video for another colour of the same product?

Yes, if you have a photo of that colour. Add it, tell Spark the shot and Make again.
