Step 1: Start with a useful source image
Pick a still where the garment is the subject. Sharpness matters more than styling mood. If the photo is dark, cropped through the hem, or covered by a hanger pile, fix that before you generate. One good plate beats four mediocre ones. The product photo guide goes angle by angle. If the still is an overhead shot, start with flat lay to fashion video.
Step 2: Add other angles when they matter
Add a second image when the first one hides something a shopper would ask about. Back design, side volume, a logo, a print that wraps. Stay on the same garment. Conflicting references (different colors, different products) make the output less reliable.
Step 3: Choose the creative direction
The create form currently offers Piveth and Astra. They are different generation paths. Piveth is a 10-second clip in 9:16 or 16:9. Astra can run longer and can use more frames. Choose based on the length and shape you need, not on a marketing name.
Step 4: Choose duration and frame
Duration options in the interface are 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 seconds. Frames are 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 2:3 and 3:2, limited by the creative. Match the frame to the placement you already have in mind. Do not generate 16:9 if you only publish vertical stories.
Step 5: Generate and review the result
Create the job and wait for the file. Then watch it as a buyer would. Check the garment, the print, the crop. If the clip drifted, change the references or settings and run again. FashionUGC does not publish the video for you.
