Text to Video for Ecommerce — SKU Still vs Prompt-Only
Text to video ecommerce is a high-volume search — but successful sellers learn quickly that prompt-only generation invents packaging, logos, and colours. AmazVid treats text to video as a destination (listing MP4) while the source must be your product still or marketplace URL: image-to-video with first-frame lock, not blank-slate prompts.
Text-to-video demos sell hype. SKU stills sell products.

Why text-to-video alone fails on live listings
General text-to-video playgrounds optimize for cinematic novelty. Ecommerce returns spike when packaging, size, or colour do not match the still buyers clicked. AmazVid image-to-video locks frame one (Product shot) or reference identity (Wearable) so motion adds trust instead of surprise.
When text prompts still help
Use short motion directives after the still is locked: "slow orbit", "soft push-in", "hand enters frame". Avoid describing the product from scratch — that belongs in the photo, not the prompt.
