Ideas in motion: Image-to-video now in Veras 3.0

Summary
With Veras 3.0, you can turn any rendering or image into short, expressive animations right inside of Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, and more. No exporting, no complex tools, just faster ways to explore and share your design ideas.

Turn images into short videos with Veras 3.0

With the new Image-to-Video feature in Veras 3.0, architects and designers can transform images into short animation snippets lasting five seconds. Add atmosphere with panning, zooming, weather effects, time-of-day shifts, or even moving elements like people, cars, and water. All this can be done directly within your design environment, including Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino.

You can use it to make client presentations more engaging, explore different motion concepts for design reviews and form-finding studies, quickly iterate on design ideas with movement and atmosphere, and much more.

Prompt your ideas into motion

Creating a video in Veras is easy.

Select the 'Video' tab, add an image, type a prompt to describe your video preferences, and let Veras generate a short animation. The video creation process itself takes a couple of minutes. 

Prompt example: Panning camera, day turns to night, and interior lights turn on.
