Product tracking in video

Cinema8’s product tracking technology lets you attach interactive elements to products as they move on-screen. Using AI-powered motion tracking, hotspots and tags stay perfectly aligned with the object (whether it’s a shoe in motion, a phone in hand, or clothing in a fashion shoot). This creates fluid, accurate interactivity that transforms product videos into engaging, shoppable experiences.

Product tracking in videos involves the use of AI-powered motion detection to follow objects within a video. In Cinema8, you can attach clickable hotspots, CTAs, or product tags to items in motion (such as clothing or gadgets), ensuring they remain perfectly aligned as the object moves. This creates a natural interactive experience for viewers.
Cinema8 uses advanced motion-tracking technology to detect and follow the movement of selected objects within your video. Once tracking is applied, interactive elements such as buttons, icons, or product details automatically follow the object’s position, maintaining perfect alignment throughout playback.
You can attach widgets to tracked products including clickable links, CTAs, or hotspots linked to in-video shopping carts, allowing viewers to learn more, navigate to your website, or purchase the product directly from your video. Cinema8 can connect to your existing e-commerce platform for smooth, conversion-friendly user journeys.
Product tracking is ideal for fashion lookbooks, tutorials, product demos, and promotional videos where products move dynamically. It ensures your interactive elements stay connected to the right objects, giving viewers a consistent and engaging experience while learning about or exploring your products.
Cinema8 supports tracking for multiple products in a single video. Each tagged object can have its own hotspot, link, or information overlay, making it easy to feature several products at once while maintaining accuracy and visual consistency throughout playback.
