# Product Showcase

> You've got a product. You need a video that shows it off and makes people want to buy it.

## What You Need

* Product shots (different angles, close-ups, in use)
* Optional: Unboxing, lifestyle shots, talking head

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload Everything">
    All product clips go into Cardboard. Got 50 clips? Upload them all.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tell AI What You Want">
    "Create a 30-second vertical product showcase. Unboxing → insulated feature → using at gym → product shot with '\$29.99 - Link in Bio'. Add upbeat music and text overlays."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fine-Tune">
    "Add text overlays: '5-Hour Battery' at 0:05, 'Waterproof' at 0:15, 'Only \$49' at 0:30"

    "Zoom in on the product at 0:10"

    "Add slow-motion when showing the drop test"

    "Add modern upbeat background music"

    "Add 'Shop Now' text at the end for 3 seconds"

## Common Prompts

Fine-tune your video with prompts like:

> "Show unboxing, features, and product in use. 45 seconds."

> "Make it feel premium with slow-motion and cinematic color"

> "Add text overlays for each feature"

> "Show multiple color options side by side"

> "Add '50% Off Today' text in the corner"

## Product Structure

**Hook (0-3 sec):** Show product or problem

**Features (3-35 sec):** Show 2-4 key features

**Proof (35-45 sec):** Show it working

**CTA (45-50 sec):** "Shop now"

## Quick Tips

**Show, don't tell.** See it work, not hear about it.

**Close-ups matter.** Show details, quality, texture.

**Keep it short.** 30-60 seconds max.

**Test on mute.** Add text and captions.
