Stolen Product: a heist ad from one photo

Upload a product image and get a cinematic smash-and-grab video: a display window, a hooded figure, shattering glass, and your product snatched and gone in a few seconds. The packaging, colors, and logo stay faithful to the photo. It is a desirability flex for drops and launches, generated without a set, a stunt team, or a single broken window.

What is the Stolen Product preset?

Stolen Product is an AI ad preset on Artlist that turns a single product photo into a short heist scene. You upload one image, and the preset places the product in a display, stages a smash-and-grab with glass, motion, and a fleeing thief, and renders it as a cinematic clip. The product's shape, label, and colors are preserved.

How to make a smash-and-grab product video

Four steps from a product photo to a heist.

  • Upload a product image

    Use a clean, well-lit photo of one product with the label visible and a plain background. Packshots and cutouts work best.

  • Generate the heist

    Run the preset. It builds the display, times the smash, animates the grab, and keeps your product recognizable through the chaos.

  • Check the product

    Confirm the label, colors, and proportions survived the scene. If details blur, generate again with a sharper source photo.

  • Add impact sound

    Layer glass and alarm effects from the Artlist SFX library and a tense track from the music catalog. Export vertical for ads and Stories.

Ways to use the Stolen Product preset

A heist is shorthand for desire. Here is where the preset fits.

  • Beauty and fragrance launches

    Stage a glass-case grab for a new bottle or palette with a cinematic, high-end feel.

  • Tech and gadget teasers

    Show a device worth breaking in for. Works as a launch teaser or a paid social hook.
