AirDrop product carousel

An iOS AirDrop share sheet springing up over a blurred product backdrop, then a carousel of product cards moving through the window with the AirDrop chime.

It is one of 13 native HTML ad templates in Hermoso — formats rendered from real markup by a browser rather than generated by a model. This one outputs a video, with 4 copy slots you fill, and it needs 3 product photos from your brand before it will run.

When to use it

For showing a range or several variants in one video — colourways, sizes, a collection. The share-sheet frame gives a product carousel a reason to exist.

The thing to get right

It needs three product photos. Fewer and the carousel has nothing to move through, which is why the app asks for them up front rather than failing at render time.

The format at a glance

  • Output — a video.
  • Copy slots — 4, each with its own character budget derived from the layout rather than guessed.
  • Assets required — 3 product photos.
  • Template id — airdrop-carousel.

How this template renders

Nothing here is generated by an image or video model. The format is a self-contained HTML page whose animation is a pure function of time — no CSS keyframes, no timers, no randomness — and the renderer steps that page frame by frame in headless Chrome, screenshots each frame, and assembles them with ffmpeg into an H.264 file that ends on a crossfade into your brand end card.

Two things follow from that. The render is deterministic: the same inputs produce the same file, so a format that looked right yesterday looks right today. And every word on screen is real browser-rendered text, which means the copy is exact and stays sharp at any resolution. The whole thing costs a couple of credits rather than a video generation, which is what makes these formats practical to run at volume.

How many product photos does it need?

Three. The carousel is the format, so with fewer there is nothing to move through the share sheet. Hermoso asks for them before it starts rather than failing part-way through a render you have already paid for.

All 13 are listed on the native ad template index, and the wider catalog is on the creative recipes index.

The airdrop product carousel template is reachable from Claude, Cursor, Codex or any other MCP client as well as from the web studio, with the same brand grounding. Driving a format from an agent covers the setup.
