Writing exercise

Hi guys

Regarding the wrong products in … video, it’s very hard for us to change the patterns by retouching/video editing. The models are moving, so it’s very hard for us to retouch every frame of the video, especially when we don’t even have the right products at hand. We cannot just use the pictures to retouch the product patterns, and at the very least we would need some real products.  How should we proceed? Should we keep the original video as-is, or should we ….?

Thanks for your help. Your help is greatly appreciated.
