Use Case
Generate Product Demo Videos with AI — From Your Terminal
Product demo videos convert browsers into buyers, but hiring a video production team for every SKU is expensive and slow. AI video generation lets you create animated product showcases, explainer clips, and walkthrough videos from a text description. With agent-media CLI, you describe your product scene, choose a model optimized for object detail and smooth motion, and get a polished clip back in minutes.
Best Models for This
These models are recommended for generating product demo videos. Each one brings different strengths to this workflow.
| Model | Why | Credits | CLI Command |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Video (Detail) | Excellent prompt adherence for detailed product descriptions — renders textures, labels, and physical details accurately. | 200-400 per video | agent-media generate video -p "White wireless earbuds rotating on a marble surface, studio lighting, product showcase" --sync |
| AI Video (Cinematic) | Smooth motion interpolation and creative camera angles make product reveals feel cinematic and premium. | 250-600 per video | agent-media generate video -p "Smartphone floating and rotating to reveal all sides, minimalist white background" -d 8 --sync |
Step-by-Step Workflow
Follow these steps to start generating product demo videos with agent-media CLI.
Prepare your prompt
Write a detailed prompt that specifies the product, surface, lighting, and camera movement. Be specific about materials and angles for the best results.
$ agent-media generate video -p "Glass perfume bottle on a reflective black surface, soft studio lights, slow 360-degree rotation" --sync
Try an image-to-video approach
If you already have a product photo, use the --input flag to animate it. This keeps your product looking exactly right while adding motion and depth to the scene.
$ agent-media generate video -p "Animate this product with a slow zoom-out reveal" --input product-photo.jpg --sync
Generate a longer walkthrough
Use the -d 12 flag for up to 12 seconds of footage. Longer clips work well for product walkthroughs that show multiple features or use cases in a single take.
$ agent-media generate video -p "Laptop opening on a desk, screen lighting up, hands typing, modern office" -d 12 --sync
Check credit usage
Monitor your credit balance after each generation. Product demo videos typically use 200-600 credits depending on model and duration, so tracking spend helps you plan your content budget.

Marketing Graphics & Social Ads
Marketing teams need a constant stream of fresh visuals — social posts, ad creatives, email headers, blog illustrations. Designing each one from scratch in Figma or Canva takes time. AI image generation lets you go from brief to finished graphic in seconds. agent-media CLI gives you access to models with accurate text rendering and consistent style, so your marketing output stays on-brand without a designer in the loop for every asset.
Cinematic B-Roll Footage
Cinematic B-roll — sweeping drone shots, moody cityscapes, time-lapses of clouds rolling over mountains — is the backbone of professional video production. Licensing stock footage is expensive and generic. Shooting original B-roll requires drones, permits, and travel. AI video generation gives you custom cinematic footage tailored to your exact scene, without leaving your desk. agent-media CLI puts the most capable cinematic models at your fingertips.
