Why architectural renderings suits AI video
Clients understand a space faster when the camera moves through it. A render already has clean light and strong lines, which makes it a good starting frame, and a slow pan shows depth that a flat image cannot.
What to put in your photo
- A wide, straight-on view with the main facade or room fully in frame
- Clean, evenly lit renders without heavy lens effects
- Leave sky or foreground at the edges so the camera has room to travel
An example you can adapt
Example photo: A render of a glass-fronted house at dusk, seen from the garden.
Example voiceover: "A home built around the light. Glass, timber and a garden that comes inside." That script is 14 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.
Sound and camera
- Choose Orbit around for a building and Pan right for a long interior
- Calm or Corporate music keeps the focus on the design
- Horizontal 16:9 suits a presentation; 4K is worth it for large screens
Mistakes to avoid
- Renders with embedded text, dimensions or labels, which can distort when the image moves
- Expecting a walkthrough: this is one camera move on one view, not a tour of many rooms
