Step-by-Step Process

1. Asset Generation via ChatGPT + DALL·E

Using prompts like:

“A digital photograph features a clear plastic water bottle, no label, placed on a reflective surface. Bright studio lighting makes the bottle appear crisp.”

…we generated the key visuals:

Bottle without label
Bottle cap
Final bottle mockup
Unwrapped and wrapped label

Each of these was exported as .png with transparent backgrounds.

2. Cutting Out Assets in Photopea

To prepare CapCut-ready assets:

Go to Photopea.com
Load the image (e.g., bottle with label)
Use:
- Pen Tool (P) to outline the cap
- Magic Wand (W) for easy background removal
Go to Select > Inverse and hit Delete
Export as PNG → bottle_cap.png

Repeat for each individual element needed in your animation.

3. CapCut Desktop: Scene-by-Scene Animation

Scene 1: Bottle Appears

Drag in bottle_no_label.png
Add Scale and Fade In keyframes (1.5s duration)

Scene 2: Cap Drops In

Import bottle_cap.png
Add vertical slide-in from top keyframe (over 1s)
Optional: add bounce effect

Scene 3: Label Wraps Around

Add label_unwrapped.png
Position to side of the bottle
Add slide + rotate keyframes toward bottle (over 3s)
Fade it out and fade in label_wrapped.png
Overlay sparkle_overlay.png, set Blend Mode: Lighten

Scene 4: Final Bottle Reveal

Add final_bottle_lovely_ultra.png
Animate zoom in & overlay ripple sparkle background

Optional: Voiceover + Background Music

Use the following male narrator voiceover script:

“Introducing Lovely Ultra – Pure hydration. Pure beauty. Crafted for excellence. Wherever life takes you, take Lovely Ultra.”

You can generate this with CapCut’s Text-to-Speech or external tools (e.g., ElevenLabs, PlayHT).
