About the Product Carousel animation

The multi-product post for a drop, a restock or a category round-up, built to read as a swipe without needing one. Each slide holds about a second and a half, which is enough for a name and a price and not enough for a sentence. The three photos crop square inside the window, so upload them square or centre what matters — the matte takes the edges without asking.

Where it fits

  • As the multi-product post for a drop, a restock or a category round-up.
  • As a feed post that reads as a swipe without needing one.
  • In an email hero, cycling three products.

Filling it in

Each slide holds about a second and a half, enough for a name and a price and not a sentence: Linen Overshirt, $98. The three photos crop square inside the window, so upload them square or centre what matters. The dot colour marks the active slide.

Format and timing

Product Carousel is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 5 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 3.7 seconds, holds for 0.5 and clears in 0.8, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.

Questions about Product Carousel

Why post a video carousel instead of a real one?

Because a real carousel needs the swipe, and most viewers never make it. A video shows all three whether they swipe or not, and works on platforms that have no carousel.

Can I use two slides?

Leave the third empty and it composes as a plate, which looks unfinished. Better to find a third product, even a companion piece.
