Film studio: a flythrough of the day as a video
The film studio turns your setup into a short film: scene by scene through the day, from setup through the reception and dinner to the party, with camera moves, your music on the beat, a title and credits. You end up with an MP4 to send to the couple or post on social media.
Step by step
- Choose the type. The studio opens large, with the preview in the chosen format at the top.
- The scenes are cards at the bottom. Click one: below it you choose “When” (the time of day, e.g. “Dinner” or “Party”), the “Camera” (e.g. “Approach from outside”, “Like a guest”, “Through the tables”, “Drone”, “On the dance floor”, “View from the booth”) and the “Duration”. “Duplicate” and “Remove” change the list, “+ Scene” adds one. Drag to reorder.
Scenes sit as cards at the bottom. - On the right under “Music”, choose “Choose your own music …” and a file from your device. The visualizer detects the tempo (“≈ 120 BPM”). With “Cuts on the beat” every scene ends on a bar line. Drag the start point in the waveform, for example to the chorus.
- Under “Format” choose “16:9 · YouTube”, “9:16 · Reel” or “1:1 · Feed”. “Title & credits” holds the title, the date (own date picker) and your name for the credits.
- ▶ plays the film. When it's right, click “Create video” at the top. Recording runs in real time with sound.
- Afterwards: “Download” saves the video, “Share …” opens whatever your device offers (WhatsApp, email, AirDrop …).
Download or share the finished video.
