From AdamHey, it's Adam. Everything in that video started as one plain product photo. Upload it to ChatGPT, type one code, and you get a lifestyle scene, a 360° view, a social ad, a billboard or a studio shoot — with no photoshoot and no prompt writing. Here are the five codes I showed with the full prompt behind each one, then the whole two-hundred-code library. You commented TRICKS, so here's the lot.

The 5 codes I showed 🎬
Type the code, attach your product photo. The longer prompt underneath is what the code stands for. Use that version when you want the shot locked instead of interpreted.
Place my product naturally into a realistic lifestyle scene where it would really be used — a styled kitchen, desk, bathroom shelf or cafe table that suits what it is. Soft natural window light, real textures, a few believable props, shallow depth of field. Shot like a lifestyle photographer, not a studio. Keep the product's exact shape, colour, label and proportions from my photo.
Create a product turnaround of my product: the same item shown from front, three-quarter left, side, back, three-quarter right and top, arranged as one clean grid on a seamless light background. Identical lighting and scale in every angle, soft contact shadow under each. Keep the label, logo, colour and proportions consistent across all views. Do not invent details I haven't shown.
Square 1:1 social ad. My product large on one side against a bold background in a colour from its own palette. Short punchy headline at the top, three short benefit lines with small icons, and a clear call-to-action button. Dramatic product lighting with a soft glow behind it. Readable as a phone thumbnail. Keep the product exactly as photographed.
A giant curved LED billboard on a city building at blue hour. My product breaks out of the screen and extends past the frame in forced perspective. Wet street below reflecting the glow, small pedestrians for scale, shot with a long lens from across the street, slightly low angle. Photorealistic. Keep the product's shape, colour and label exactly as in my photo.
A professional studio product shoot. My product on a minimal plinth against a seamless backdrop in a colour that complements it. Large soft key light from upper left, crisp rim light behind, gentle reflection below. Shot on an 85mm lens, sharp detail on the material and label, clean negative space. No props, no text. Keep the product exactly as photographed.
