When to Animate in Vizcom

Use animation when a still image isn’t enough or to see your design in context. Use animation to show product form from multiple angles, demonstrate interaction, or add motion and depth to a concept presentation. This guide walks you through creating your first animation in Vizcom.

  • Animations are driven by images:
  • Start Frame only → creates motion from a single image
  • Start + End Frame → animates a transition between two images
  • Drag your image(s) into the Animate Block to connect them.
    Start with one clear frame if you’re new. You can add an end frame later.

Choose a Motion Style
