Video generation
Animate a single render or build a transition between multiple renders.
The Video tool turns your renders into short animated clips — a slow drone reveal, an interior walkthrough, a daytime-to-sunset transition, or a camera move between two angles of the same building.
A project's video is made of one or more scenes. Each scene is a single clip; you can keep adding scenes to extend the video.
Open the Video tool
In the editor, switch to the Video tab at the top (between Render and 3D).
If the project already has a scene, you'll see it playing in the viewer with its scenes timeline at the bottom. Click + Scene to add another.
Create a new scene
Each scene is one of two types:
- Animate — bring a single render to life with a camera move or atmospheric change
- Transition — animate between two renders to morph one into the other
Tip: use Enhanced (high-quality) renders for the best video output. Run the Enhance tool on a render before animating it.
Animate a single render
1. Select an image
Pick any render in the project, grouped by perspective. You can also Upload an image from your computer.
2. Configure the animation
Pick a prompt preset to seed the description, then edit the prompt freely:
- Animate — generic motion
- Transition — for use inside an Animate flow when you want subtle change
- Pan Zoom — slow camera push or pan
- Aerial Reveal — drone descending and orbiting the building
- Interior Walkthrough — camera moves through interior spaces
Set Duration (each frame) — typically 5s. Credits are consumed per second of video — a 5-second clip costs about 4 credits.
Click Generate. The clip takes a few minutes; you can keep working while it processes.
Transition between renders
A transition needs two or more source renders from the same project. Pick them in step 1, then in step 2 choose how the transition behaves.
If you select more than two renders, you'll get one transition scene per consecutive pair — three renders produce two scenes, four renders produce three, and so on. Each scene is generated and stored individually; we don't currently group them into a single combined clip.
Camera Movement
Use this when the two renders are different angles of the same building. The video rotates or zooms between them so it feels like one continuous shot.
Pick a Camera Direction — rotate left, straight cut, or rotate right — depending on how the camera should travel.
Custom
Use this when you want the scene itself to change (time of day, materials, seasons) instead of the camera. Describe the transition in your own words, or pick a preset:
- Day to Sunset — daylight gradually warms into golden hour
- Material Change — swap finishes (wood, concrete, glass)
- Seasons — summer to winter, foliage and snow shifts
Set Duration (each frame) and click Generate.
After generation
Each scene shows up in the timeline at the bottom of the viewer. For any scene you can:
- Download the clip as MP4
- Give 👍 / 👎 feedback to help us improve the model
- Click + Scene to chain a new clip onto the project
To share a video with a client, use Share — videos are first-class in the share viewer and visitors can leave comments pinned to a specific frame.
Credits
- Cost is charged per second, not per video — at roughly 0.8 credits per second. See Plans and pricing for the full breakdown.
- The settings panel shows how many credits the current scene will use, your remaining credit balance, and the approximate seconds of video you have left.
