Architectural video with AI
A short video of the space comes from the same view as the render, without animating a camera in your 3D program.
How the video is made
You upload the view and choose “Render + video”. The render comes first; then the AI animates the camera from it, with a slow move, like a physical camera. If you already have a finished render, choose “Video”. The view can come from Archicad, SketchUp or another program.
Only the camera moves: walls and furniture stay put, and only what is already in the image, such as planting and light, comes alive. The video has no sound; add the soundtrack in your video editor or on Instagram.
Length and format
Each video is 4 to 6 seconds long. Approach and Construction last 6 seconds, so the move stays slow; the other moves, 4.
The video keeps the framing of the original image: a horizontal view gives a horizontal video. For Reels and stories, which are vertical (9:16), start from a vertical view of the room.
For a longer tour, make videos of different views and join them in your video editor or on Instagram itself.
The moves available
The moves change with the view:
- Interiors: Approach, Side glide, Orbit, Custom and Furnishing, where the empty room receives the furniture.
- Facades and outdoor areas: Approach, Orbit, Drone, where the camera rises slowly and shows the roof and the surroundings, from the same side as the view, Custom and Construction, where the house rises from the empty lot.
- An aerial view or a map of the lot, with the boundary marked, becomes a drone video of the cleared lot.
- A photo of a real space: Arch asks whether to furnish it before animating.
Where to use it
In the client presentation, next to the images of the room. On the studio’s social media, in Reels and stories. In ads for new developments, with the camera orbiting the facade.
Watch the whole video before posting. If an object moved or a line bent, make it again or choose another move, such as Approach, which changes the scene less.
