HappyHorse Product Video Prompts

Product video is one of the highest-impact content types for ecommerce. These prompt templates are organized by video format so you can quickly find the right structure for your use case, swap in your product details, and generate.

How to use these templates

Each prompt uses [brackets] for elements you should customize:

• [product] -- Your specific product (e.g., "a matte black wireless earbud case")
• [material] -- Surface finish (e.g., "brushed aluminum," "soft leather," "frosted glass")
• [color] -- Product color (e.g., "midnight blue," "rose gold," "natural wood")
• [surface] -- What the product sits on (e.g., "white marble," "dark oak table," "concrete slab")
• [environment] -- Broader setting (e.g., "modern kitchen," "minimalist studio," "outdoor cafe")

The more specific you are about your product's physical characteristics, the more accurate the output.

The product video prompt formula

For creating your own product prompts beyond these templates:

Structure: "A [specific product description with color and material] + [position/action] + [on/in environment] + [lighting description] + [camera movement] + [mood/style reference] + [technical format notes] + [duration]"

Example built from formula: "A rose gold smartwatch with a leather strap resting on a white marble surface, soft diffused studio lighting from upper left, slow push-in camera ending on a close-up of the watch face, premium lifestyle commercial mood, shallow depth of field, warm color temperature, 6 seconds"

Lighting guide for product videos

Different products benefit from different lighting approaches:

• Matte products (fabric, wood, paper): Soft diffused lighting from large sources. Avoid harsh reflections.
• Glossy products (glass, polished metal, lacquer): Controlled lighting with intentional highlight placement. Specify "soft box reflection" or "gradient reflection."
• Transparent products (glass, clear plastic): Backlighting or edge lighting to define the shape. "Backlit with soft white background glow."
• Textured products (leather, knit, stone): Side lighting to emphasize texture. "Raking light from the left to reveal surface texture."
• Dark products: Rim lighting to separate from background. "Bright rim light defining edges against a dark background."
