You’ll end with a short MP4: a turntable that spins the design, or a reveal from sketch to render.

​
Make a turntable

  1. Make 4 to 8 views of the product on a plain background with New view.
  2. Drag from the front view’s + handle, choose Animate and click Turntable.
A selected running shoe render connected to a new Animate block that shows its workflow list. Callouts mark 1 the + handle on the render's right edge, 2 the Describe your video box, 3 Key Frames, 4 Turntable and 5 Replace subject. Turntable and Replace subject carry a New tag.
  • handle (1), Describe your video (2), Key Frames (3), Turntable (4), Replace subject (5).
  1. Drag each view onto the block. The first one is the Start frame.
  2. Pick Pro or Fast, set the Duration and aspect ratio, and click Animate.

​
Make a reveal with key frames

  1. Add an Animate block and click Key Frames.
  2. Drag 2 to 4 stills onto the block in order, such as a sketch, a shaded drawing and a render, and place them on the timeline.
A running shoe line sketch, a shaded drawing of the shoe and a photoreal render connected to an Animate block on the Key Frames workflow. Callouts mark 1 the timeline with the three frames at 0s, 5s and 10s, 2 the Duration slider set to 10 sec, 3 Segment 1 (0 to 5 s) with the prompt the sketch lines fill in with color and light., 4 the aspect ratio menu (Auto) and the model menu (Pro), and 5 the Animate button.

Timeline (1), length (2), segment prompt (3), aspect ratio and model (4), Animate (5).

  1. Describe the motion of each segment, not the look, for example “the sketch lines fill in with color and light.”
  2. Choose the model, length and aspect ratio, and click Animate.

​
Export

  1. Select the video, click Export and pick MP4 (Original, 2K or 4K) or GIF (Export).

Good to know

  • Pro isn’t on Free. Videos run 4 to 15 seconds (Fast starts at 5), and a turntable takes up to 8 images.
  • Video is billed per second, and Pro costs more per second than Fast (Credits).
  • 2K and 4K MP4 export upscales with AI, takes several minutes and uses credits per second.
