Make a property photo move

Turn a still image into a short camera-style shot.

In this guide

Choose the photo

Use a clear photo with a feature you want viewers to notice: an entrance, living area or outdoor view. Find that scene in the editor, reveal its tools and select AI Motion. Check the photo at the top of the window.

Only need a gentle zoom?

For movement over the original photo, use Standard motion on the scene and select a Motion style. Open AI Motion when you want the app to create a new moving camera shot from the photograph.

Choose a gentle pan or zoomExample
  1. Turn on gentle movement over the still photo.
  2. Keep Automatic or choose a pan or zoom.

Describe one simple movement

  1. In the motion box, describe how you want the camera to move.
  2. For example: “Slowly move toward the front door. Keep the building unchanged.”
  3. Alternatively, open Or choose a preset here and choose a ready-made movement.
  4. Review the duration, quality and video shape options shown.
Describe a simple camera movementExample
  1. Describe the movement in one short sentence.
  2. Or choose a ready-made movement.

Choose one shot or a longer sequence

The five-second option creates a short shot. The longer Multi-Shots options create a sequence from a single photo; they are not shown while a second angle is selected. A longer animation is not always a better fit for a brief room scene.

When you have another angle

Add a second photo from a different angle is useful when you have another view of the same space or building. Check that both photos belong to the same property and review the options that appear. Do not use an unrelated room as the destination of an exterior shot.

Set up the second angle

  1. Select Add a second photo from a different angle.
  2. Upload another view of the same space, then check that it belongs with the first photo.
  3. Turn on Use a custom prompt only if you want to describe the camera movement between them.
  4. Review the available duration and quality. Remove the second angle if you want to return to a single-photo animation.
Add another view of the same spaceExample
  1. Upload a second view of this same space.
  2. Optionally describe the movement between the photos.

Generate and review

  1. Read the credit amount beside the generation action.
  2. Select Generate the animation once and wait for the scene to finish.
  3. Preview the shot. Check walls, doors, windows, the roof and any signs.
  4. Keep the result you want, then apply the changes to the finished tour.

Inspect the movement before applying it

Watch door frames, counters, railings and the view through windows. If movement is too strong, try a simpler direction on a new take or choose an earlier version from scene history. Check the cost before another generation.

Check the cost before making another version

Generating a new version is a new AI attempt and uses the credits shown for your selected options. A result that finishes but is not the look you wanted is different from a technical failure. Compare existing takes before paying to generate again.

If a generated result is missing from the tour

Check the scene’s current result and available history before generating again. A result that plays correctly on its own still needs to be included in the finished tour by applying the changes.
