Why restaurant menu items suits AI video

A menu is a set of promises, and a moving photo makes the promise vivid. One short clip per dish is easier to keep fresh than a shoot, and a voiceover can name the dish and the special of the day.

What to put in your photo

  • Your best photo of one dish in natural light
  • A clean plate and a tidy background
  • The whole dish in view, with the table edge or a napkin for scale

An example you can adapt

Example photo: A wood-fired margherita pizza on a wooden board, with basil on top and steam rising.

Example voiceover: "Wood-fired, made to order. Today's special: the margherita." That script is 8 words, so the video falls in the "Up to 5 seconds" length and costs 1 credit in Full HD or 2 credits in 4K.

Sound and camera

  • Slow zoom in for plated dishes; orbit around for pizzas and boards
  • Fun or Social music, or a voiceover naming the special
  • Vertical 9:16 for Stories; horizontal for a screen in the dining room

Mistakes to avoid

  • Photos taken under yellow, mixed light, which makes food look unappetising
  • Voiceovers with allergen or health claims you have not verified
