Show buyers one model and one question, such as what a particular control does. Small differences between machines deserve to stay visible. ![Exercise bikes in an empty gym](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/gym.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Tima Miroshnichenko / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-exercise-equipment-on-gray-floor-6389865/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Move from the machine to the control Use a close-up to show the relevant element and a wider view to orient the viewer. Explain its function using the manufacturer's approved material. Keep a detailed operating sequence in a separate instruction module so the purchase-stage introduction remains focused. Do not combine controls from different models into an attractive but inaccurate representation. ## Start with the right product documents Bring the current model manual, photos or CAD files, part names and a technical reviewer. Record the model and documentation version, and check close-ups against the real product. Have the product specialist review the scenes before animation. ![Lighting and reflector for a product shoot](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/product_studio.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Marcelo Verfe / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/lamps-and-reflector-around-controller-at-studio-23991039/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Help people find the right explanation Place it on the product page or in the matching help entry. Ask viewers to find the same control on the correct model. Support questions can guide later edits. Keep the explanation about the product, without adding claims about fitness results or whether it suits a particular person. ## Related reading - [Help shoppers see how your product works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/ecommerce-video-production) - [Give equipment adjustments the detail they need](https://caprivideo.com/industries/ecommerce/strength-equipment-and-reformer-videos) ## Example: an assembly manual brought to life See how a printed manual becomes a sequence customers can follow.
