Write to us and someone at Octoclip replies. [Write to us](mailto:support@octoclip.io) ### What is an unboxing video? A short video of someone opening a product for the first time, on camera. The best ones keep the real sound of the opening and go on to the first use, so the viewer sees the product working as well as the box. ### How long should an unboxing video be? For TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 20 to 40 seconds is usually enough. Spend about half on the opening and half on the first use. ### Should an unboxing video have music? Not over the opening. The sound of the tape, the paper or the envelope is a big part of the appeal. Add quiet music after it, if at all. ### Is this unboxing video prompt free? Yes. Copy it and use it as often as you like. You don’t need an Octoclip account. ### Can a creator film the unboxing for my brand? Yes. Post a job on Octoclip for free with this brief. Creators apply and you choose who films. You get the video as a finished file for your own channels and ads, or the creator posts it on their own account. **A person answers.** Can’t find your question?
