Reel-E turns each photo into a moving 3D shot. Until you pick one, a shot's movement is "Chosen automatically": your Style picks among the moves below.

Pick a movement

  1. In Keylight Studio, open Shots and press Edit on a shot

  2. Under Movement, choose a move

    Push In moves slowly toward the room and draws the eye to a feature. Pull Out moves slowly back, a reveal for big rooms and views. Orbit Left and Orbit Right pan around the room. Boomerang swings on the beat: out, a stop on the beat, and back.

    The shot remakes itself with the new move in the background ("Adding movement"); keep editing.

  3. For real motion, choose AI+

    Want water, fire, clouds or trees to really move? Choose AI+ (natural motion or a look). Camera movement is off while AI+ is on; choose AI+ again to go back. See AI+ motion and looks.

Frame each format

A Vertical video crops the sides of a wide photo. Video framing lets you move the picture for Widescreen, Square and Vertical separately: switch the format above the player and drag the picture in the preview.

Tips

  • Use Push In on the hero room and a Pull Out to reveal the view; vary Orbit Left and Orbit Right on similar rooms.
  • Wide photos move best. Very tight photos look best as short shots.
