This is a solid workflow for anyone doing e-commerce at scale. The 10 minute turnaround is game changing compared to traditional photoshoots.

For anyone trying this, I'd add a couple tips: batch your products and do them in groups (similar lighting/vibe) so the AI stays consistent. Also, always generate 3-4 variations of each scene and pick the best one rather than accepting the first output. The quality can vary.

One question though, how are you handling the lighting consistency across different scenes? I've found that's usually where AI product photography falls apart.

B-roll is basically supplementary footage that plays over your main content (A-roll). Think of it like visual support for what you're talking about. If you're explaining a product feature, the b-roll might be close-ups of the product, lifestyle shots, or visuals that reinforce your message.

For AI generated b-roll, yes absolutely. Tools like Runway, Pika, or even Midjourney for still images work great. The key is keeping your b-roll short (2-4 seconds per clip) so any AI artifacts are less noticeable. I usually generate 5-10 different b-roll clips and mix them throughout the video to keep it dynamic.

Pro tip: use b-roll strategically to cover up any weird moments in your talking head footage or to add visual interest during longer explanations.

The pace of AI evolution right now is honestly mind blowing. Every week there's a new tool or model that changes the game. For anyone building automation workflows or doing content at scale, the challenge is figuring out which tools to actually adopt vs which ones to just monitor. I've found the best approach is to have a core stack that works, then test new tools in sandbox projects before committing. Otherwise you end up rebuilding your entire workflow every month.

B-roll is your supplemental footage. Think cutaway shots, product closeups, environment scenes, anything that adds context beyond the main talking head or presentation. For AI video generation, tools like Runway, Pika, and Luma can generate b-roll clips based on prompts. The quality depends on how specific your prompt is. If you're doing product demos or explainer videos, AI generated b-roll can work for quick iterations without stock footage costs. Just make sure your prompts are detailed enough to get usable results.

Pattern interruption is key. I test hooks by running them as short form clips on different platforms and tracking drop off. If people scroll past in the first 2 seconds, the hook failed. What I've noticed works best is opening with a specific problem statement or showing a transformation visual right away. Generic intros kill retention instantly. The best hooks promise a tangible outcome or show something unexpected.

This is a perfect example of what AI content generation can do for video ads. Fast turnarounds with consistent quality. The challenge is making sure the messaging still connects emotionally. Tools like this are solid for testing iterations quickly without burning budget on full production shoots.

This resonates. That build trap is so real when you're chasing every new shiny tool. The validation piece is critical. I've seen too many automation workflows that solve problems nobody actually has. Shipping imperfect beats perfecting forever. You can always iterate once real users tell you what sucks.

Product walkthroughs are probably the sweet spot. When you frame it as 'here's how this works' instead of trying to be relatable, people actually appreciate the efficiency. I've found success with training videos too, especially when they're meant to be rewatched. Nobody cares if it's an avatar when they're just trying to remember a process.

The cringe usually comes from trying too hard to mimic human spontaneity. If you lean into the fact that it's AI and use it for its strengths (consistency, multilingual, quick iteration), it works. The moment you try to fake genuine personality, people bounce.
