Product Photography Effects

This use case is about presenting a single item clearly, so the effects AniFX plans to surface here favor camera-style motion — zooms, sweeps, reflections — that reveal form and material rather than decorate the frame around the product.

Product photography also tends to be the most consistently well-lit and cleanly composed image type on the platform, which gives these effects more room to be confident rather than corrective.
