Shotyard
Shotyard is a browser-based AI creative production workspace that aggregates leading generative image and video models into a single interface. The platform brings together engines from multiple labs, including Google, OpenAI, ByteDance and others, spanning models such as GPT Image 2.x, Nano Banana Pro, Veo 3.1, Seedance and FLUX. Rather than switching between separate tools and subscriptions, users pick a model per job and generate multiple takes side by side inside one account. The product is organized around four production "sets": product images, UGC-style ads, campaign videos and image-to-video conversion. An image job can return one to four variants, and outputs range up to 4K stills and 1080p video in formats such as PNG, JPEG, WebP and MP4, with vertical, square, wide and 21:9 aspect ratios supported out of the box. Video generation supports clips of roughly 4 to 15 seconds, with native audio on some models. Consistency tooling is the core differentiator. Reference-image conditioning lets users feed in product photos so labels, colors and shapes remain stable across a set, and certain models support holding the likeness of multiple people across a batch. Some models also render legible multi-language text inside the frame, which suits price flashes and packaging shots. The workflow is three steps: describe the shot and attach product or reference media, choose the model, then download the selected take. Shotyard positions itself as an alternative to traditional studio photography and video production, which involves scheduling, lead times and per-shot pricing. It is offered as a free web service at shotyard.ai with account-based asset storage.

Problem solved
Traditional product photography and video production is slow, expensive and hard to reproduce: studio shoots typically take five to ten working days after the product arrives, peak season bookings can run six to eight weeks out, and per-shot pricing ranges from tens to hundreds of dollars. Shotyard replaces this with an on-demand AI workspace that generates product images, UGC ads and short campaign videos the same day from a prompt plus reference photos, while keeping the product and cast visually consistent across takes.
