Today, I’m showing you how to turn a static product photo into a high-end animation. We’ll take a simple picture from your phone and use Adobe Firefly to make the environment "grow" around it instantly.

Step 1: The Setup

  • Take a photo of your product (perfume, food, bottle, etc.) on a clean surface.

  • Ensure the lighting is decent, but don't worry about the background too much—AI will handle the magic.

  • Transfer this photo to your computer.

Step 2: The Prompt

  • We need a prompt that tells the AI exactly what to animate around your product.

  • Copy the template below and paste it into ChatGPT. (Optional for custom prompt)

  • Tell ChatGPT: "I want a video for [INSERT YOUR PRODUCT]. Please fill in the brackets in this prompt to match my product."

Prompt For Adobe Firefly
A cinematic macro shot begins with a [tin of New Orleans ground coffee] centered on a clean surface. Slowly, [lush green coffee plant leaves start to sprout and grow around the can], curling naturally and filling the frame. [Ripe red coffee cherries] emerge and glisten in the light, some rolling gently across the table toward the camera. Soft daylight filters in from the side, creating a fresh, natural atmosphere. The [plants] fully surround the tin, creating a [rich, organic composition that feels alive and aromatic]. Shallow depth of field, smooth camera push-in, realistic lighting

Step 3: Generate (Adobe Firefly)

  • Select "Image to Video" (not Text to Video).

  • Drag and drop the photo you took in Step 1.

  • Paste your ChatGPT-refined prompt into the text box.

  • Settings:

    • Aspect Ratio: Set to 9:16 (perfect for Reels/TikTok) or 16:9 depending on your photo.

    • Resolution: Set to 720p or 1080p.

    • Motion: Leave at default or increase slightly for more energy.

  • Hit Generate.

The Result: Your static product photo is now a moving, professional commercial with elements interacting naturally with your item.
