## What it does

Two photos in (the closed packaging and the product), a 5-15 s hands-only unboxing out: taps on the lid, the lid lifting off, the product lifted from its tray and switched on, with native ASMR sound and no music. The prompt is written in timed VISUAL / ACTION / SOUND blocks with the box and the product as Seedance 2.5 references (@image1, @image2); the skill makes a box image from the product photo when there is none. Unboxing has the highest winner rate of any Meta ad format in Motion's 2026 benchmark (9.8%) while only 2.1% of ads use it. Tested: 10 s at 720p with audio, 385 credits.
