Shoot a high-quality video of your product
First, decide if you want to shoot imagery yourself, or entrust it to a professional. You’ll need to record a video of 1.2 spins of your object. For high-quality results, we recommend shooting with a 4K digital camera, studio lighting, and a motorized turntable for a smooth 360 spin.
If you don’t have the equipment or experience, you can reach out to our global network of product imaging experts.
Ready to try it yourself? For the best results, first check out our tips for how to shoot high-quality videos using the best equipment and set-up.
