WHY MOTION WORKS

Static images get skimmed. Motion gets noticed.

A still product shot, a flat property photo, a quiet slide in a sales deck: readers scroll past all three in under a second. Interactive links were a start. But the visuals themselves are often still frozen.

AI Animate turns any static image into a short, auto-playing video, right inside Design Studio.

  • No separate video tool
  • No timeline to edit
  • No re-exporting and re-uploading every time you want to try something new
TWO WAYS TO CREATE MOTION

Your creative vision, your way

Both options live in the same panel in Design Studio. Start with a preset, switch to a prompt when you have something specific in mind.

OPTION 1

Choose a preset

Pick a predefined motion style and bring an image to life in a couple of clicks. Best when you want a quick, dependable result.

  • Fastest route from still to moving
  • Consistent look across a whole publication
New OPTION 2

Write your own prompt

Describe exactly how the image should move: camera direction, a detail that should come alive, or the atmosphere you want. Best when a preset doesn't match your vision.

  • Direct the camera, the detail and the mood
  • Match the motion to your brand and content
DURATION

Pick the length that fits the moment

There's no wrong choice. Just match the duration to what the image is doing.

  • 4 seconds

    A quick, subtle loop for background motion.

  • 6 seconds

    Balanced, enough time for the motion to register.

  • 8 seconds

    For when the moment needs room to unfold.

WHY IT MATTERS

More creative freedom. Same simple workflow.

Nothing about the way you build publications changes. You just get more say in how the images inside them move.

CUSTOMER STORY

How Pot Factory Connect brings its product catalogs to life with AI Animate

“One of our favorite features has been AI Animate. We simply drop an image onto the page, click ‘AI Animate,’ and it instantly brings it to life: plants swaying in the wind, a walk through a hallway. It gives our customers a much richer sense of our products, almost as if they were experiencing them in person.”
