Platform-Specific Tips

Shopify

• Use 16:9 hero video on homepage (autoplay on muted)
• Add to product page below image gallery (Shopify natively supports video)
• Optimize file size to under 15 MB for fast page load
• Use videos in “Featured collection” sections

TikTok Shop

• Native 9:16 vertical
• First 3 seconds critical (TikTok algorithm)
• Add hook text overlay
• Use TikTok Shop affiliate program for influencer-style monetization

Amazon

• Amazon allows 1 product video on listing
• Format: 16:9, MP4, up to 100 MB
• Focus: actual product demo, sizing, use case
• Avoid: lifestyle-only videos (Amazon prefers product-centric)

Etsy

• Listing supports 1 main video
• Format: 16:9 OR 9:16 (Etsy auto-detects)
• Length: 5-15 sec sweet spot; up to 90 sec OK
• Focus: handmade process, story, craftsmanship

Instagram Reels

• 9:16, 15-30 sec for product promo
• Add CTA: “Tap link in bio” or use Instagram Shopping tags
• Track view-through rate (less than 50% means hook is weak)

How CutFast Compares

Tool	Browser?	Free	E-commerce optimized?	Speed
CutFast Promo Video	✅ Yes	10/mo	✅ Yes (5 formats)	60 sec
Canva	✅ Yes	Free w/ watermark	Generic templates	Manual
Pictory	✅ Cloud	❌ Paid	✅ Yes	2-5 min
Animoto	✅ Yes	Limited	✅ Yes	5-10 min
Shopify Sections	✅ Yes	Free	✅ Basic	Manual
CapCut	⚠️ Mobile	Free	General	10-15 min

Common Mistakes

1. No CTA: video without “Shop Now” or “Link in bio” leaves money on the table
2. Wrong aspect ratio per platform: 1:1 on Shopify product page = letterboxed. Use 16:9
3. Too many products in one video: viewers can’t focus on multi-product showcase. Pick 1 hero or 3-5 max
4. Slow pace: 90-sec product video for TikTok = viewers scroll. Match pace to platform
5. Generic music: trending music doesn’t fit indie brands. Match music to brand voice
6. No subtitle / on-screen text: 85% silent viewing. Captions essential
7. Forgetting to localize: e-commerce on Amazon Japan = Japanese subtitles + JPY pricing
