Olaty® review for AI Product Video
I’ve tested several AI product video tools, and this app takes a much smarter approach for ecommerce. What I like most is that it doesn’t try to reinvent the product or generate unnecessary AI scenes. It simply turns the actual product images from my Shopify catalog into a clean, animated product showcase. That is especially important for jewelry. With generative AI video tools, small product details can change, stones can look different, shapes can become distorted, or the final video may no longer accurately represent what the customer will receive. This app avoids that problem completely by working with the real product images. The customer can play the video and quickly see the entire product gallery in sequence — from the main product images and close-ups to lifestyle shots and even the final unboxing images. Then, after watching the video, they can continue through the product gallery and zoom into the exact same images they just saw. I think this creates an excellent shopping experience: the video provides a quick visual overview, while the original images remain available for detailed inspection. The Ken Burns effect, subtle motion, music, and transitions are enough to make static product photography feel like a polished product showcase without altering the actual product. For stores with large catalogs, the bulk generation feature makes this even more useful. One improvement I would really like to see is a fully functional custom brand watermark/logo option embedded directly into the exported videos. The current branding/logo settings do not appear in the generated MP4 videos. Being able to automatically apply a store logo to every bulk-generated video would make the feature much more complete. Another issue I noticed is that the generated videos currently appear with a dark/black cover thumbnail in the Shopify product gallery. I have to manually upload a cover image for each video to make the product gallery look polished. It would be very useful if the app could automatically use the product’s main image, or another selected product image, as the video cover when the video is added to Shopify. Overall, I really like the philosophy behind this app: enhance the existing product photography instead of letting AI invent a different product. For ecommerce, accuracy matters — and this approach gets that right.
