What should a public transcript say about a generated product clip?
A public transcript should explain what the viewer hears and needs to understand, while a descriptive note can explain essential silent actions. Neither should upgrade generated motion into a physical test result. Keep the distinction visible when adding text for discovery.
Separate audio, observation and specification
For an illustrative silent bottle clip, “the cap turns and the bottle remains on the table” describes the depiction. “The cap withstands repeated use” claims performance that the animation does not establish. If you add approved specifications, identify their separate product source.
Do not create a fictional spoken transcript for a clip with no speech. Use an accurately labeled descriptive summary or alternative. W3C’s guidance distinguishes audio captions from visual description; that distinction also makes the public page clearer.
Build a text evidence map
| Text type | Source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Spoken transcript | Actual final audio | Transcribe accurately |
| Visual description | Visible sequence | Describe depiction |
| Specification | Approved product record | Identify verified fact |
| Test claim | Actual test evidence | Never infer from animation |
Use ordinary readable text near the player rather than a hidden block of repeated keywords. The text should help a real visitor understand the clip.
Check sequence and omissions
Watch the final export while reviewing the description. Include an optional prop or an excluded accessory when its role is necessary to understand the scene. Remove actions that appear in an earlier storyboard but not in the delivered clip.
Publish the honest page context
Label an illustrative generated scene appropriately and link to the relevant real product evidence when available. Itemlume does not establish physical performance through motion generation. Use feature evidence and observation notes for factual wording.
A wording boundary example
A fictional generated clip depicts a lid opening smoothly. Its descriptive summary can explain that visible movement, but should not call it proof of a durable hinge or effortless operation in real use. If the page includes a separately verified physical test, identify that source rather than blending it into the animation description. Check that the summary names only actions present in the final clip. This keeps the public page useful for discovery while preserving a clear distinction between a depicted sequence and independent product evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Can a silent clip have a spoken transcript?
Do not invent speech; label a visual description accurately.
Does animation prove repeated-use durability?
No. That needs separate physical evidence.
Should search text be hidden?
Write useful visible text for visitors.
