Product Photo to Motion Hero

Your prompt
The object holds perfectly still for the opening beat, settled and grounded exactly as it sits in the source frame. The camera {{camera-move}}, travelling at a steady unbroken rate that holds constant from first frame to last, so the movement reads as a mechanical dolly rather than a handheld drift. As it travels, the highlight along the object's leading edge slides slowly across the surface, tracking the change in angle, and the shadow beneath lengthens and shifts in the opposite direction. {{secondary-motion}} through the light in the upper part of the frame, giving the air itself some depth. The move {{pacing}}, arriving at its final framing a beat before the clip ends and holding there. Everything about the object stays exactly as photographed: same colour, same finish, same proportions, same lighting direction. Aspect ratio: {{aspect-ratio}}.

Upload your product photograph as the source image in Runway's image-to-video mode, then paste this prompt. Note what the prompt deliberately leaves out: it never describes the product. In image-to-video the still already carries the subject, and re-describing it is the main cause of drift, morphing and colour shift — the prompt's only job is motion. Use 5s for a hero loop or 10s for a longer reveal, and keep the camera move simple; the more the camera does, the more the object destabilises. Gen-4.5 has no negative prompt field, and Runway warns that negative phrasing can produce the opposite of what you asked for — state what you want present.
