AI Video Workflows: Product Images to Video Ads

This repository was renamed from awesome-ai-product-video-workflows after absorbing the app-demo, live-action, and Blender previs workflow domains. The old GitHub URL remains a redirect for existing installs.

Open workflows and worked cases for turning product images into AI product videos, ecommerce video ads, UGC ads, product launch videos, TikTok ads, and Instagram Reels. Built for ecommerce sellers, advertising teams, and AI creators who need product hero visuals, image-to-video production, social media variants, and verifiable quality control.

简体中文 · Explore the six workflows · See the real UGC case

This checkout also contains a local content-integration draft. Browse the domain index before using the sibling engines; they retain their own schemas and runners and are not part of the root install command yet.

Start in 30 seconds

npx -y github:HiAPIAI/awesome-ai-video-workflows -y

Then give the skill one approved product image and its current product page. It will build the product truth sheet first and stop before any paid generation.

The installer stages a fresh checkout before replacing an existing copy. A failed download leaves the previous Skill in place, and an existing .env file is carried forward. This makes the public npx github: entry safe to use for upgrades.

Why star this repository

• One source-to-ad path: product image → commercial hero visual → storyboard → video ad → platform variants.
• Six complete workflows: product-image audit, hero visual, image-to-video, product-page ad, UGC ad, and QC.
• Cases you can inspect: a real generated UGC artifact plus cinematic-launch and catalog-variant recipes.
• Production templates: machine-readable product brief, shot plan, workflow schema, and final-video checklist.
• Truth before polish: product claims, media rights, likeness permission, cost, and publication stay explicit.

If you make ecommerce ads, UGC creative, product launch videos, TikTok ads, Reels, or Shorts, Star the repository to keep the workflow library easy to find.

What you can build

This is a workflow library and installable agent skill, not another one-click video engine. It connects the strongest reusable ideas from current open-source projects with a source-grounded production path:

product source → image audit → commercial hero visual → storyboard → video clips → UGC or product ad → platform variants → media QC

You get:

• six bilingual product-video workflows designed for fast navigation inside GitHub
• a machine-readable product brief, shot plan, and QC checklist
• a dated audit of high-signal GitHub repositories and license boundaries
• a real authenticated UGC video-ad case with artifact and QC evidence
• an installable SKILL.md for Codex and Claude Code

Content domains

The repository is being organized around four content domains. The root package owns the product-ad path; the other domains are isolated until their contracts are ready for a shared release.

See Content Integration for ownership boundaries, validation gates, and migration risks. The absorbed sibling repositories remain available as archived history pages and GitHub redirects.

The flagship App Demo decision and promotion gates are recorded in docs/flagship-app-demo-decision.md.

Product image to video workflows

Worked product-video cases

Real UGC clip-light ad

A synthetic adult creator demonstrates a fictional unbranded clip light in a 10-second vertical Seedance 2.0 video with native English dialogue. The case includes the source-grounded brief, first-frame route, runtime fixes, downloaded artifact, transcript, and an explicit limitation: visible brightness change is not enough to prove three discrete brightness levels.

Read the case and evidence

Cinematic product launch

A reusable recipe for converting one approved product image into multi-view references, a commercial hero frame, three shot cards, short image-to-video clips, and a product-launch rough cut.

Catalog to social variants

A structured example for turning a current ecommerce listing into one master truth sheet and controlled TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and marketplace video variants.

High-signal open-source foundations

This repository does not start from a blank slate. The current research combines:

• MoneyPrinterTurbo for the script, voice, subtitle, music, aspect-ratio, and assembly pipeline
• Short Video Factory for product-marketing and batch short-video workflows
• Video ShotCraft for product shot recipes, motion previews, and production templates
• Generative Media Skills for agent-ready image, video, and audio recipe patterns
• OpenShorts for product research, hooks, AI actors, captions, rendering, and QC
• TVC Director for product references, storyboards, keyframes, and video scripts
• Flowboard for reusable product-reference nodes and image-to-video composition
• Open AI UGC for self-hosted creator-style video ads

Exact star snapshots, license files, and code-reuse boundaries are documented in Open-source foundations. AGPL, Elastic, custom-license, and no-license repositories are method references only unless a downstream project deliberately accepts their terms.

Prompt-source rights are handled separately: see the prompt provenance audit before copying any third-party prompt text or media.

Install as an agent skill

npx -y github:HiAPIAI/awesome-ai-video-workflows -y

Choose a specific agent or skills directory:

npx -y github:HiAPIAI/awesome-ai-video-workflows --codex
npx -y github:HiAPIAI/awesome-ai-video-workflows --claude
npx -y github:HiAPIAI/awesome-ai-video-workflows --target=/path/to/skills

Then ask your agent:

Use $awesome-ai-product-video-workflows to turn this product image and current product page into a 10-second vertical video-ad plan. Build the product truth sheet first and stop before paid generation.

The workflow library can hand execution to these existing HiAPI skills when installed:

• HiAPI GPT Image 2 Skill
• HiAPI Video Prompt Generator Skill
• HiAPI Seedance 2.0 Video Skill
• HiAPI Seedance 2.0 UGC Ad Video Skill

Copy the production templates

cp templates/product-brief.example.json /absolute/path/to/product-brief.json
cp templates/shot-plan.example.json /absolute/path/to/shot-01.json
cp templates/qc-checklist.md /absolute/path/to/product-video-qc.md

Replace all demo values before production. The example deliberately contains example.com and unconfirmed rights flags.

Find the workflow you need

The repository name, About description, topics, README opening, workflow titles, and examples use the same practical vocabulary people search on GitHub:

• AI product video workflows
• product image to video ad
• ecommerce video ad creation
• UGC product video ads
• product photography to commercial video
• TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and marketplace video variants

Each English workflow links to a complete Chinese edition and back to the repository index. The README leads with the useful output, quick install, real case, and six workflow choices instead of a keyword block. See GitHub repository discovery strategy.

Truth and safety boundaries

• Do not invent product features, prices, discounts, reviews, results, certifications, or scarcity.
• Use real-person likenesses only with permission.
• Clearly record synthetic actors and follow current platform disclosure rules.
• Verify regulated-category policy before creating or publishing an ad.
• Paid generation, high-cost settings, and publication require separate approval.
• A successful API task is not a finished video. Download, decode, watch, listen, and inspect the artifact.

Validate the repository

npm run check

The checks rebuild the bilingual workflow documents, validate repository discovery copy and data, scan local links, verify the social-preview image contract, and run Node tests.
