Turn a phone video into a 360° product spin

The usual way to make a 360° spin is dozens of photos on a turntable. If you don't have that setup, a phone video works: film the product turning once, and ZS Spin View turns the video into a spin shoppers can drag.

How to film it

• Put the product in the middle of a table, on a plain background, in even light.
• Keep the phone still (lean it on something) and turn the product slowly by hand, or use a lazy Susan — one full turn in 10–30 seconds.
• Or keep the product still and walk around it, keeping the same distance and height.
• Film in landscape or square; keep the product the same size in the frame the whole time.

Turn the video into a spin

1. In ZS Spin View open Real 360 Spin → Video.
2. Choose the product, upload the video (MP4 or MOV, under 90 seconds) and pick 24–72 frames.
3. Press Generate & Link Spin. The app takes evenly spaced frames from the turn and builds the spin.

This is on the free plan.

Use the spin everywhere

The spin shows on the product page through the ZS 360 Spin Viewer block. You can also export it as a Reel, square post, MP4 or GIF for ads, social and email — see the use cases.

One full turn, usually 10–30 seconds. The app accepts videos up to 90 seconds.

My spin wobbles. What went wrong?

The product moved off-centre or the camera moved. Put the product in the middle of the turntable and lean the phone on something.
