Can I use the video on my listing and in my shop announcements?

What you make is yours to post anywhere. Upload it where the listing or post lets you add a video.

Will the item look like mine?

Spark copies what it sees in the photo, so a sharp photo with the whole item in frame and the real colour gives the closest match.

Can I show the item in someone's hands?

Yes. Ask for a hand holding or turning the item. See the UGC-style demo guide for that shot.

Can I add my shop name or price on the video?

Text over video isn't in the app yet. Your listing carries the title and price.

Can I make a video for each colour of an item?

Yes. Add a photo of each colour and make one video per photo.

How to make a product video for an Etsy listing from one photo

One clear photo of your ring, mug, print or bag is enough for Spark to build a short video that shows how the item moves, catches the light and sits in a room.

This guide is for one handmade or small-batch item and one listing. For the general product-ad version, see how to turn a product photo into a video ad.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
One sharp photo of the item, whole object in frame, true colour.
A setting that suits the buyer: a kitchen shelf for a mug, a wrist for a bracelet, a desk for a notebook.

Step by step

Add the photo. Open Rift and add the item from your camera roll.
Tell Spark the scene. One setting, one move, one kind of light.
Check the Draft. Spark shows what stays (your item, its colour, its details) and what changes (the set and the camera).
Make. Tap Make. The price is on the button before you tap, and you can Stop anytime.
Save and upload. The video is in your Library. Add it to the listing in Etsy.

Lines to try with Spark

“My ceramic mug on a worn oak table, steam rising, camera slowly pushing in, morning window light.”
“My silver ring on a linen cloth, slow turn so the stone catches the light.”
“My hand-bound notebook opening on a desk with a pen beside it, soft side light.”
“My leather card holder sliding out of a jacket pocket, close shot.”
“My ceramic planter on a sunny sill with a trailing plant, gentle breeze.”

Tips for a clean result

Photograph the real thing. Spark keeps the colour and details it can see. A photo that looks like your item gives a video that looks like your item.
Show every edge. If the photo crops the handle or the clasp, it gets invented.
One move. A slow turn or a push-in reads cleaner than a busy scene.
Match the scene to the buyer. Cosy light for homeware, clean light for jewellery.
Make two takes. Post the one that holds attention longer.

Beyond Etsy

The same steps suit a market stall, a craft-fair table or your own shop page. Handmade soap, a knitted hat, a hand-painted sign or a pet bandana all work from a single photo.
