Mintly alternative
Mintly alternative: from one product photo to a video ad
Mintly turns a product photo into lifestyle images and UGC videos for ecommerce brands. Pixel Dojo does the same job on the image and video models you pick, keeps your product true from packshot to video, and shows every price before you click.
We started where every ecommerce brand starts, with one plain packshot of a walnut speaker. Each step below used the output of the step before it, and each tile shows what it cost.
30 credits ($1.88) per 5 s clip at 720p with audio. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

The rest of the ad kit
Every clip and image below was made on Pixel Dojo with the prompt shown. Tap one to start from the same prompt.
The park scene from step 3 animated on Kling 3.0 as a slow orbit, the speaker unchanged from every angle, for 20 credits.
Slow orbit around the walnut speaker on the checked blanket as leaf shadows drift across it and a hand reaches in to take a peach from the paper bag. Sound: birdsong, distant park chatter and soft acoustic guitar.
A UGC style talking clip on Seedance 2.5 with captions burned in by Video Autocaption for 5 credits.
The same clip before captions, made from text alone with a round wooden speaker design.
Vertical selfie style video: a man in his thirties with a short beard in a bright kitchen holds a small walnut wood speaker up to the phone camera and says: "This little speaker fills my whole kitchen." Then he sets it on the counter and nods. Natural window light, handheld feel.
A static ad on Ideogram 4.5 with the headline spelled right.
Clean square product ad: a walnut wood wireless speaker with a charcoal fabric grille and a brass dial on a warm beige background with a soft shadow, the headline "ROOM SIZED SOUND" at the top in dark brown bold sans serif letters, nothing else written.
From one packshot to a video ad in four steps
Step one made the white background packshot. Step two placed that exact speaker on a bookshelf. Step three put it in a park scene with an editing model. Step four turned the bookshelf photo into a 5 second clip.
E-commerce packshot of a compact walnut wood wireless speaker with a charcoal fabric grille and a single brass dial, centered on a pure white background, soft studio light, gentle contact shadow, no text, no logos.
Vertical lifestyle photo: place this exact speaker on a sunlit oak bookshelf beside a trailing pothos plant, a stack of paperbacks and a ceramic cup, warm late afternoon light, shallow depth of field. Keep the walnut body, the charcoal grille and the brass dial exactly as they are.
Place this exact speaker on a checked wool blanket in a sunny park beside a paper bag of peaches and a pair of sunglasses, soft summer light, shallow depth of field. Keep the walnut body, the charcoal grille and the brass dial exactly as they are.
Slow push in on the walnut speaker on the bookshelf as a hand reaches in and turns the brass dial, the pothos leaves stir slightly in the warm late light. Sound: a soft dial click, then mellow jazz guitar starts playing from the speaker.
- Nano Banana 2.1 moved the speaker onto the bookshelf with the walnut grain, the grille and the brass dial unchanged, for 1.5 credits.
- Kling Image Edit built a whole park scene around the same speaker for 1 credit, the cheapest lifestyle shot in the set.
- Seedance 2.5 animated the bookshelf photo with a hand turning the dial and sound built in, and the speaker held its shape for all 5 seconds.

How to build a product ad on Pixel Dojo, step by step
Start with a clean packshot
Shoot your product on white or generate one. Every later step uses it as the reference, so the product never drifts.
Place it in scenes
Give the packshot to Nano Banana 2.1 or Kling Image Edit with a short scene prompt and the words "keep the product exactly as it is".
Animate the best scene
Use the scene as the start frame on Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1 and describe one small action, like a hand turning a dial.
Add a hook and captions
Write the spoken line in quotes for a talking clip, then run Video Autocaption to burn in the words.
Or hand the brief to Sensei
Describe the campaign and Sensei plans the shots, prices the plan, waits for your approval and reviews every take.
Why we build ad kits this way
We keep one product photo at the center and let every model work from it, so the speaker in our kit never changes shape.
We think one plan with every image and video model, a whole film workflow and a public API goes further than a single purpose ad tool.
