Panda eating hot pot
text-to-video
Any aspect ratio
A giant panda with fluffy black and white fur, sitting upright like a human, holding chopsticks in its paws, expressive eyes and slightly messy mouth. The panda picks up slices of food and eats hot pot naturally, steam rising from the pot, small chewing motions and slight head movement. The scene takes place on a lively street at night, with glowing neon signs, passing people, and blurred traffic lights in the background. Medium close-up shot, shallow depth of field, cinematic framing with soft bokeh background. Warm lighting from the hot pot contrasts with cool neon street lights. Cozy, humorous, lively, cinematic atmosphere.

How to remix this template in Magic Hour
You can create your own version of this template in a few steps:
Start with Text-to-Video
- Open Text-to-Video.
- Describe the scene: product, environment, motion, and overall mood.
- Example prompt:
“Cinematic 3D product demo of a sleek black productivity app on a smartphone, rotating slowly on a dark gradient background, soft rim lighting, shallow depth of field, minimal UI animations, modern tech commercial style.”
Structure your video like a mini product narrative
Break your prompt into a clear story arc:- Hook – bold hero shot of the product
- Problem / tension – visuals hint at the pain point (clutter, chaos, slowness)
- Solution – the product in action, close-ups of key features
- Outcome – aspirational, calm, “after” state
- CTA – logo, product name, simple tagline or URL
Search trends from product marketing and motion design show that short, structured narratives consistently outperform random visuals for CTR and recall.
Adapt it to your brand and vertical
In your prompt, be explicit about:- Industry: “fintech dashboard,” “AI writing tool,” “fitness app,” “smart home device”
- Brand style: “minimalist, Apple-style lighting,” “vibrant neon cyberpunk,” “clean DTC aesthetic with soft pastels”
- Audience: “for startup teams,” “for solo creators,” “for enterprise IT”
Add variations for experiments and A/B tests
Once you have a base video, remix your copy and creative direction:- Change color palette and environment (studio vs lifestyle vs abstract)
- Shift tone (playful vs premium vs technical)
- Generate multiple intros or hooks targeting different user segments
Many performance marketers now run dozens of AI-generated variants per campaign and select winners based on watch-through rate and cost per click.

- Then animate them with Image-to-Video to create smooth pans, zooms, and rotations before or after your Text-to-Video segment.
Refine visuals and brand assets
- Upscale frames or thumbnails with AI Image Upscaler.

Prompting tips for strong product demos
To get consistent, high-quality results from Text-to-Video:
Be specific about the product
- Mention type, materials, color, and core function:
“Matte black wireless earbuds in a rounded charging case, subtle LED indicator, modern minimal packaging”
- For software, describe layout and motion:
“Desktop SaaS dashboard with charts and cards, smooth UI animation, cursor moving across the screen.”
- Mention type, materials, color, and core function:
Control camera movement and composition
- Add camera instructions in your text prompt:
“slow orbit around the product,” “smooth dolly-in toward the screen,” “top-down flat lay on a clean desk,” “macro close-up on hardware details.”
- Reference real-world cinematography styles (e.g., “commercial product macro shot,” “tech startup launch video”).
- Add camera instructions in your text prompt:
Specify lighting and mood
- Examples: “soft studio lighting,” “high contrast spotlights,” “daylight on a wooden desk,” “dark gradient backdrop with rim light.”
- Lighting is one of the highest-impact variables for perceived quality in product content.
Align with your brand identity
- Include brand colors, typography references (“inspired by minimalist fintech branding”), or emotional tone (“calm and reassuring,” “energetic and bold”).
