# Make a product video

> Turn product renders into a turntable or a key-frame reveal with the Animate block, then export an MP4 or GIF.

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

A headphones turntable made with Animate.

## Make a turntable

1. Make 4 to 8 views of the product on a plain background with [New view](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/new-view.md).
2. Drag from the front view's **+** handle, choose [Animate](https://docs.vizcom.com/animating-in-vizcom.md) and click **Turntable**.

* handle (1), Describe your video (2), Key Frames (3), Turntable (4), Replace subject (5).

3. Drag each view onto the block. The first one is the **Start** frame.
4. 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.

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.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/examples/workflow-product-video-keyframes.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=af5a736234d428e65480a2a4c3b9ac22)

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

3. Describe the motion of each segment, not the look, for example "the sketch lines fill in with color and light."
4. 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](https://docs.vizcom.com/export-panel.md)).

## 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](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#animate)).
* 2K and 4K MP4 export upscales with AI, takes several minutes and uses credits per second.
