AI Video Generator for eCommerce Product Catalogs

Transform static product images from any online store into engaging animated videos using Google's Veo 3.1 AI. Simply submit a catalog page URL and automatically generate professional product showcase videos where models pose and move to display clothing and fashion items from multiple angles - perfect for elevating product pages with dynamic content that increases conversion rates.

How it works

  • Submit any eCommerce catalog page URL through a simple web form (works with Shopify, WooCommerce, and most online stores)
  • Automatically scrapes product listings using Firecrawl to extract product titles and high-quality images
  • Batch processes product images with intelligent iteration through your catalog inventory
  • Generates 8-second animated videos using Google Veo 3.1 where models wearing the clothing strike multiple poses to showcase fit and style
  • Polls for completion status and automatically downloads finished videos when ready
  • Organizes assets in Google Drive with source images and output videos in a structured folder system

The workflow creates professional product videos that show garments from different angles with natural model movements, giving shoppers a much better sense of how items look and fit compared to static photos alone.

Set up steps

  1. Connect API credentials: Firecrawl account for web scraping, Google Gemini/Veo API for video generation, Google Drive for asset storage
  2. Create Google Drive output folder where source images and generated videos will be automatically saved
  3. Configure folder ID in the workflow to point to your designated Drive location
  4. Adjust product limit (optional) to control how many catalog items to process per run
  5. Deploy the form webhook to get your submission URL for catalog page processing

Time investment: ~15-20 minutes for API setup and configuration, then just submit catalog URLs to automatically generate video content for your entire product line.

Requirements: Firecrawl account for web scraping, Google Cloud account with Veo 3.1 API access (currently in preview), Google Drive account. Works best with fashion and apparel catalogs.

Note: Video generation takes approximately 10 seconds per product as Veo processes each request. The workflow includes automatic polling to handle the async video generation process.
