Watch a Line Sketch Become a Render Video

The exact transformation architects use every day — a hand-drawn elevation sketch animated straight into a photoreal render.

Transition mode: line sketch to photoreal render, animated.

How to Animate an Architectural Render with AI

Skip the render farm and the video editor. Go from a still SketchUp or CAD render to a walkthrough video your client can watch in one sitting.

Step 01

Upload Your Render

Use a before/after pair for a Transition (for example, massing model to final render), or a single photoreal render for a Drone fly-through.

Step 02

Pick a Camera Move

Choose a preset — zoom in, pan, crab shot — or write a custom prompt to match the lighting and pacing of your presentation.

Step 03

Export for Your Deadline

Render in 16:9 for a client deck or projector, or 9:16 for a mobile-first pitch, then download the MP4 the same day.

Built for Client-Ready Render Videos

From a still SketchUp or CAD render to a walkthrough video, without a render farm or a video editor.

Same Sketch-to-Render Pipeline, Now in Motion

Pair a line sketch with its photoreal render for a Transition video that shows the design process itself — the same transformation our sketch-to-render tool already performs for stills.

Single architectural render animated with a cinematic drone camera move

Drone Fly-Throughs From a Single Render

No matching before/after pair needed — Drone mode takes one render and applies a cinematic camera move, a zoom, pan, or crab shot, so even a single image becomes a walkthrough.

Custom prompt field for describing camera motion in an architectural render video

Camera Moves Written in Plain English

Switch to Custom mode to describe exactly how the camera should move and how the light should shift, instead of settling for a generic preset that doesn't match your presentation.

Deadline-Ready Exports

Export at 16:9 for a client deck or a projector, or 9:16 for a mobile-first pitch, in 4 to 8 seconds — fast enough to still make tonight's client meeting.

Where Architects Use Render Videos

The same render video capability, applied to a few very different moments in a project.

Architect presenting a render video during a client meeting

Client Presentations

Turn tonight's finished render into tomorrow morning's walkthrough video, so the client sees the design move instead of just a single frozen angle.

Render video used in a planning and permit submission package

Permit & Planning Submissions

A short video built from a still render can help reviewers and neighbors read a proposal faster than a static elevation, the same way the sketch-to-render tool is already used for permit materials.
