Make a short product video from photos you already have, with an AI voiceover

🧰 Before you start

• 3-5 bright, clear photos of one product that you own (check you're allowed to use supplier photos in ads)
• A free ElevenLabs account (voiceover)
• A free InVideo account (video)

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

1. ☐
   1. Choose your photos

   Pick 3-5 bright photos of one product: one in use, one close-up, one showing the features. Clear photos matter more than anything else.

2. ☐
   2. Write a 30-second script yourself

   About 80-100 words in four parts: a problem the buyer recognises, the product name, each feature tied to a real use, and where to buy. Use the 'Script helper' prompt below if you're stuck, then rewrite it in your words.

3. ☐
   3. Remove any brackets

   ElevenLabs treats anything in [square brackets] as a delivery instruction, not words to read, so those words would be skipped. Delete all notes and brackets.

4. ☐
   4. Make the voiceover

   In ElevenLabs open Text to Speech, paste the script, pick a voice that suits the product (browse the library; the default may sound too serious), click Generate speech, and download the take you like as an MP3.

5. ☐
   5. Build the video the cheap way

   For a simple photos-plus-voice video, use InVideo's free Timeline Editor: upload the MP3 and photos and place each photo along the voiceover. Dave says it takes about 15 minutes and doesn't use AI credits.

6. ☐
   6. Add captions, music and an end card

   Turn on large captions (most people watch with the sound off), add quiet background music, and finish with a card showing your shop name and 'link below'.

7. ☐
   7. Check before you post

   Watch it on your phone. Check for watermarks and commercial-use limits, and switch on the AI-generated label where TikTok or Instagram ask for it.

8. ☐
   8. Optional: let InVideo's AI agent build itOptional extra

   If you'd rather describe the video, use the 'InVideo agent' prompt below. Dave warns the agent spent all his free credits checking its own work, so save it for bigger jobs.

💬 Prompts to copy

Write a 30-second voiceover script (80-100 words) for a vertical product video.
Product: [product name]. What it does: [main job]. Features: [feature 1 and the real use], [feature 2 and the real use], [feature 3 and the real use]. Who buys it: [customer]. Where to buy: [shop name, 'link below'].
Structure: 1) a problem the buyer recognises, in one line, 2) the product name, 3) each feature tied to something they'll actually do with it, 4) where to buy.
Plain, friendly British English. No square brackets, no stage directions, no claims I haven't listed. Give me 2 versions.

Make a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok and Instagram Reels, about [35] seconds long.
Use ONLY my uploaded voiceover for the audio and ONLY my uploaded photos for the product. Do not add stock footage of other products.
Add gentle movement to the photos, large readable captions that match the voiceover word for word, quiet background music under the voice, and a final card that says '[shop name], link below'.
Export once, then stop and ask me before making any changes.
