Is this a separate editor from the main product video tool?
No. It uses the same client-side showcase builder, but starts with Shopify-oriented defaults and platform-specific copy.
Can I still change the template and duration?
Yes. The page opens with a Shopify-friendly preset, but the normal arrange, style, and export controls remain available.
Does the video render on a server?
No. Preview and export stay local in the browser, and the final file is rendered without server-side video processing.
What video format does Shopify accept for products?
MP4 is the safe choice, and Shopify's product media accepts it directly. This tool produces MP4 with H.264 where the browser exposes WebCodecs, and WebM otherwise, so use a Chromium browser if you need the MP4 path.
Why does the video have no sound?
The renderer draws frames on a canvas and encodes only a video track. Product-page video autoplays muted in most themes anyway, so a silent clip is not the handicap it would be on a social feed.
How many photos should I use?
Between two and eight, with five or six being the practical sweet spot. At the 10-second default, eight slides gives each one only 1.25 seconds, which is not enough time to register a detail shot.
Should the video be square or landscape?
Match your theme's media gallery. This page defaults to 1920 x 1080 landscape, but if the theme crops product media square, the 1080 x 1080 canvas keeps your framing intact.
Does the rendering happen on a server?
No. Frames are drawn on a canvas and encoded in the browser through WebCodecs or MediaRecorder, so unreleased product photos never leave your machine.
