What Miniature Crew does
Your product sits alone on a table, then a crew of tiny workers in hard hats arrives with ladders and scaffolding. They climb all over it, polishing and waving, and by the end a string of little bunting flags hangs above the scene.
Tiny workers build your display
A crew of tiny workers climbs ladders and polishes your product like a giant monument. A playful ad for any product.
Your product, start to finish
The video opens on your exact photo, so the shape, colors and details of the product carry through the whole clip.
Product ads without a studio
Commercial-style product shots for stores, ads and launches, made from one product photo instead of a studio day.
How to make a Miniature Crew video
- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
- Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Use a product with a simple shape and clear top, like a mug, bottle or box, so the crew has places to climb.
- Shoot on a table or desk with room around the product for ladders and workers.
- Warm, low sunlight gives the scene the playful miniature look we saw in our test.
Ideas for using it
- A coffee roaster announcing that a new mug or blend is ready.
- A bakery or shop showing a grand opening scene with a crew getting things ready.
- A toy or gift store making a playful ad for a seasonal display.

Miniature Crew FAQ
Do the workers damage or change my product?
No. The product stays still and unchanged while the tiny crew climbs around it.
Can the banner show my brand name?
The effect hangs plain colored flags. It does not write your text, so add a caption in your editor if you need it.
Do I need to write a prompt for Miniature Crew?
No. Miniature Crew is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.
How long is the Miniature Crew video, and how long does it take?
Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
Does the video have sound?
Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.
Can I use Miniature Crew on any product?
Most physical products work: bottles, cosmetics, shoes, gadgets, food and packaging. A clean, well-lit photo with the whole product in frame keeps the shape and label faithful.
