Questions

Animate assets questions

What are the four formats?

From a carousel keeps each slide as a scene with narration and layer-animation direction. Animate an image prepares motion for a starting image you choose. Motion graphic animates an original idea from your brief. Animated data visualization brings your data to life.

What do I get first?

A complete first visual storyboard: every scene with its source, timing, script and generation prompt, saved to your Gallery. You revise it, create each scene's media in the video editor, then export the MP4.

Does it redesign my carousel?

No. Every slide becomes a scene in the same type and colors, narrated in order, so the video says exactly what the carousel says.

Can I set the length and the dimensions?

Yes. Give it a target length in seconds, or leave it empty to fit the material, and the output dimensions in pixels. Animating an image makes one clip unless you ask for up to four.

Where do the words come from?

From the slides, the brief and the source material you give it. It never adds a claim your material does not carry.

Do I need Studio?

Yes. Video is included with Studio at $80/month and must be enabled for your organization; it is not unlocked by free credit or top-ups.

Animate assets works from the carousel, image, graphic or data you choose in your Gallery, the motion you describe and your Brand Kit. It connects to none of your accounts and publishes nothing. How DesignTech handles your data
