Turn a product photo into a product video ad that keeps the real product. Builds TikTok, Reels, TikTok Shop b-roll 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…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Turn a product photo into a product video ad

What wins in late 2026 is one impossible but tactile moment built around the real product: a macro pour, a lid snap, an ingredient burst, a hands-only unboxing. What fails: logo-first "cinematic" b-roll, still-photo slideshows (TikTok Shop bans them in shoppable videos), and any frame where the model rewrote the label.

Generation runs on varg (MCP `call_tool` or `POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/{image|video}/call`). **Quote with `estimate_cost` and wait for a yes before each paid step.** A still costs cents to fix; a clip costs dollars, so approve stills first.

## 1. Product truth sheet (free, do it first)

From the photos and the product page, write:

```
PRODUCT: <name, size, e.g. "30 ml amber glass dropper bottle, gold cap">
LABEL (exact, in order): "NORTHLINE" / "VITAMIN C" / "30 ML"
COLOURS: body #F4A23B, cap #C9A227, label #FFFFFF
PARTS / IN THE BOX: bottle, dropper, box
SCALE: fits in the palm
CLAIMS WE CAN SHOW: absorbs in ~30 s (visible), lightweight texture
NEVER: change shape, size, colour or material; add text; fake results (fizz, instant clearing)
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varghq/skills/product-photo-to-video@sha256:9aa3ed3b177cd415

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
