Razor cartridges: overlay the count; do not generate a face
Cut out the blister. Pack count is overlay. A synthetic jaw is a kill. Recraft the card if you need a new layout still.
Cut out the blister. Pack count is overlay. A synthetic jaw is a kill. Recraft the card if you need a new layout still.
A cartridge listing that ships is a photograph of this blister: hang-tab, count window, the colour of the lubricant strip, then a few seconds of the card moving. The count is type you typed, or digits already on the photographed card. Photograph the blister you will hang. Overlay the line that has to stay true. Leave the chin off the prompt.
Cut out the blister
Retail cartridge cards already exist as stills. That file is the product. A bathroom sink, a towel, a mirror — those are sets. They compete with the count window and give a video model extra objects to rewrite, including a person.
Remove the background from a photo is the image-edit job, not a video colorkey. Drive it with generate_image_from_image and an instruction that keeps the subject: transparent backdrop, blister edges intact, no new wrap art. This is not a one-click video background tool. It is a prompt on an edit-capable image model, attached to the photo you already have.
The agent photo cutout is the same capability as a named job. One instruction. Subject out. Do not stuff “make it a luxury bathroom at golden hour” into the same sentence — that is a restyle, and you will pay an edit for a new picture of a card you did not keep.
Inspect the cut at 100%. Foil windows are the first place an edit model fills with mush. If the count digits go cloudy, stop. Recrop or rerun the edit. Do not “fix it in motion.”
Prompt only the camera: a slow orbit that keeps the hang-tab readable, a hold on the face of the pack. Do not prompt “cinematic close shave on marble.” That paragraph restages the SKU as a face.
Overlay the pack count
Count is a claim. 4, 8, 12 — those digits are why a buyer opens the listing. A 12 that becomes an 8 for six frames is a mis-ship. Do not ask a video model to typeset the count or invent a second blister so the “value pack” reads larger.
Add a text overlay burns one authored line for the whole clip — top, center, or bottom. That is the count, the blade number, a CTA. It does not transcribe. Overlay after picture lock. Swap 12-count for the next SKU without regenerating the foil.
If the still already carries a sharp count you photographed on the card you hang, keep it. Do not “enhance” the print. If the digits are unreadable, overlay the string you typed from the listing. Do not overlay before you crop. Top / center / bottom sit in a different safe zone after a 9:16 reframe.
Recraft the card if you need a new layout still
Sometimes the listing is a new card graphic: a revised hang-sell, a count lockup, a colourway title you do not have as a photo yet. That is a stills job, not a video paragraph.
Recraft V4 is the stills row for design and lettering: text-to-image, 5 credits, typography listed. No duration. No audio. Quote the count string you will actually print. Proof it like a press check. A wrong character is a different SKU.
Text-to-image is the door. Name Recraft when the letters have to read. A photoreal row will give you a nicer blister that is not your hang-tab. Do not prompt Recraft for a jaw, a beard, a clinician, or a child. Those are people. If the type is wrong, regenerate the still. Do not “fix it in a video model.”
There is no max_output_resolution listed on this slug. Do not advertise 4K. Inspect the type at 100%, then decide whether the layout ever needs motion. A Recraft render of a card is artwork. Do not present a generated blister as the pack you hang unless legal signed that graphic as the listing photo.
A synthetic jaw is a kill
A constructed chin demonstrating a cartridge is a health-adjacent presenter. Close-up skin, a “closer shave,” a jawline the model invented — that is a person you did not cast walking a grooming claim. Synthetic presenters on health and finance are a YPP kill is YouTube’s inauthentic-content third bucket: AI personas that present as human experts on health. A photoreal jaw selling blades sits in that neighbourhood. Labelling the face AI does not leave it.
Do not text-to-video a bathroom shave. Do not I2V a stock face onto your blister. Scale is a tape or a known hang-tab width already in the still. If someone must speak a shave routine, that someone is a real named person on a different day. Generation can still do the blister. It cannot be the face. Minors are a hard stop.
Pause on the foil. Read the count. If a jaw appeared who was not in the still, you made a shave film. Cut the blister. Overlay the digits. Leave the chin off the file.
FAQ
Can I generate a generic “shaving close-up” if I do not name a person?
You can generate a chin that is not yours. Do not publish it as the cartridge ad. If the jaw is not a still you photographed of a consented face, it is not the hang-sell. The blister is the product.
Why Recraft V4 instead of a cinematic video model for the card?
Because the first job is card type. Recraft V4 is text-to-image, 5 credits, typography listed. Motion is a second spend on a plate you already approved. A video model will redraw the count every frame.
Is a talking AI barber acceptable if we disclose the face is generated?
Disclosure does not move a constructed grooming expert out of the YouTube bucket. Keep the blister. Keep the overlay. If someone must speak a shave routine, that someone is a real named person, not a generate.
Does background removal spend video credits?
The photo path is an image edit. It is not the video background tool. Pick an edit-capable image model, keep the blister, inspect the count window, then spend video credits on motion of the keeper — or leave it as a still.
