AI video
Creating product videos for your Shopify store used to mean hiring editors, shooting footage, or wrestling with complex software. But with AI video generators, you can now turn a simple product URL into a polished, ad-ready video in minutes. This guide walks you through the exact workflow using Van Gogh Studio (FreeVideoGenerator) and its AI Video Studio feature.
Most AI video tools require you to upload images or write detailed prompts. That works, but it’s slow when you have dozens of products. A URL-based approach lets you skip the manual work: you paste a product link, and the AI pulls the product details, images, and descriptions to generate a video that highlights your item. This is especially useful for Shopify store owners who need consistent, on-brand creatives for ads, social media, or product pages.
You could edit videos manually with templates, but that takes time and design skills. Van Gogh Studio’s Link to Video feature automates the heavy lifting. It’s part of the AI Video Studio, which also gives you access to multiple AI models (like Kling, Sora 2, Veo 3.1, and more) in one subscription. Instead of juggling tools, you get a single platform for generating, editing, and enhancing videos.
Here’s how to turn a product URL into a video using Van Gogh Studio:
