One still → multiple ratios.

Why you should not “just crop later”

  • Soft logos fail harder after aggressive vertical crops
  • First-frame lock should happen at the ratio you ship
  • Themes letterbox ugly if the master is wrong

Generate 9:16 intentionally for ads (9:16 from photos); keep a separate silent square/landscape for PDPs.

AmazVid workflow

  1. Lock the listing photo as frame one
  2. Choose ratio in Product shot / Ad creative / Multi-shot
  3. Export silent masters for marketplaces
  4. Export 9:16 cousins for feed
  5. Name files `SKU_ratio_version.mp4`

URL path: turn product URL into video.

Frequently asked questions

What product video aspect ratio should I use for Amazon?

Start with 16:9 or 1:1 silent masters and confirm current Seller Central guidance for your category. Keep 9:16 for ads, not gallery by default.

What ratio for TikTok Shop product video?

9:16 vertical with the product visible early. Test 6–15s before extending.

Can one file work everywhere?

Rarely. Keep a silent listing master (1:1 or 16:9) and a 9:16 ads cousin from the same first frame.

Does AmazVid support multiple ratios?

Yes — choose 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 per render while locking the same product still as frame one.
