Builds TikTok, Reels and listing videos from one to three product photos: a product truth sheet (label text letter by letter, colours, parts), a cut-out, a hero still, an 8–12 panel storyboard sheet, then one multi-shot Seedance 2.5 or Kling 4 clip with a PRODUCT LOCK block, a repair pass on drifting shots and the real packshot composited on the last second. Formats: hands-only ASMR unboxing, macro pour, ingredient burst, product in use, 360° loop, product in a hand, apparel try-on. It never ships a Ken Burns slideshow.
