Create a video from an existing image
You can turn any generated image in a photoshoot into a short product video inside Rawshot AI. Start by opening a photoshoot, then select the image you want to animate. From there, you can choose between automatic video generation or building the video scene by scene.
Option 1: Generate a video automatically
Automatic video generation is the fastest way to create motion from a still image. Rawshot handles the scene direction for you and presents the garment in a clean, e-commerce-friendly way.
To create an automatic video: open your photoshoot, click the image you want to use, choose Automatic Video, then select the video quality, total duration, and number of scenes. After that, click Generate Video.
How automatic scenes work
When you use automatic mode, Rawshot chooses camera movement and model action for you. The goal is to show the product clearly and highlight important garment details. For example, if a hoodie neckline is a key feature, the model may naturally move a hand toward that area while the camera slowly moves in.
This mode works well when you want a quick result without manually directing each shot.
Option 2: Build the video manually
If you want more control, use Build Video. This lets you direct each scene with clicks, using controls for camera movement, scene length, and model action.
In the Video Builder, create your first scene by setting the scene duration, then select the camera motion and model action. For example, you can keep the camera static while the model touches her hair, or choose a dolly in while the model leans forward.
You can then add another scene and define a different motion. For example, scene one could be a 5-second static shot, while scene two could be a 4-second dolly in with a new model movement.
Example manual workflow
A simple two-scene setup could look like this: scene 1 for 5 seconds with a static camera and a hair-touch action, then scene 2 for 4 seconds with a dolly in and a slight forward lean. Once your scenes are set, click Generate Video and Rawshot will create the sequence based on your selections.
Choose the right setup for your goal
Use automatic mode when you want speed and a clean product presentation. Use manual mode when you want to control how the model moves and how the camera frames the garment over time.
For e-commerce, shorter clips with simple motion usually work best. For Reels, Stories, or social edits, multi-scene videos can give you more variation from a single image.
Best practices
Start with a strong source image. Since the video is generated from that image, cleaner composition and clear garment visibility lead to better results. If your product has a key detail like a neckline, sleeve, logo, or fabric texture, choose an image where that detail is already easy to see.
Keep scene direction simple at first. A small number of well-chosen movements often creates a cleaner result than stacking too many changes into one short clip.
What to do after generation
After your video is ready, review the motion and garment presentation. If needed, generate another version with a different number of scenes or updated camera movement. Many teams create several short clips and combine them later in a video editor for ads, product pages, or social content.
