Your design, moving the way you pictured it
New animation capabilities in Vizcom: more references, four modes, and up to 15 seconds of motion.
Animate now gives you far more control over how your designs move. The Animate block you already know is now called Key Frames, and it works the way it always has, with more frames to play with. Three brand new modes join it: Turntable, Replace Subject, and Custom.
Animate used to fill in the blanks
Our original version of Animate worked from frames: a start frame, maybe an end frame, and a prompt. Anything you didn’t show, Animate had to guess. Now Animate works from references. Give it every view of your design, a reference clip, the environment, and the motion you have in mind. The more references you add, the closer the result lands to what you pictured.
Pick the shot, then the mode
Each mode is built around a different starting point, and each one comes down to a single move. Switching modes doesn't disconnect your references, so you can run the same set through a few modes and compare. Connect a video and the picker narrows to the two modes that use one: Replace Subject and Custom.
Key Frames
This is the closest thing to a storyboard on the canvas, and it's where animating in Vizcom has always started. Standard V2 and Turbo V2 now live here too, so the options you already know are still right where you’d expect. The difference now is how many beats you can plan. Connect up to four frames, drag them into the order you want, and prompt the whole shot or each segment between them.
Turntable
Connect every view you have, right-click each one to label its angle with Set view, and generate without having to prompt. Labeling each view makes sure every side of your design shows up the way you intended, including the angles you'd usually have to leave to chance.
Replace Subject
Upload a clip (Vizcom will help you trim anything longer than 15 seconds), connect labeled views of your design, and generate.
Start with a video you already love, like a sprinter’s stride, a model walking a runway, or a car taking a corner. Replace Subject swaps your design into that video, and keeps the original motion, environment, and audio.
You can also use the same video to compare options. Swap in different colorways, materials, or design concepts, and see how each one looks in the exact same motion.
Custom
Connect up to eight assets, including one video, type @ to point your prompt at a specific one, and turn on audio if the shot needs it.
This is the most open-ended mode, and the one that designers will reach for when a shot has to carry mood, like a product launch film or an atmospheric scene from a game world. Not sure how to write the prompt? Draft writes a prompt from your connected references, and Enhance expands a one-line idea into a fuller one.
Start from what you already have
Open a Workbench, add an Animate block, and connect what you've got: a few frames, a full set of views, a clip you love, or a shot list in your head. Pick the mode that matches, and generate.

Hatch Duo is a design studio based in San Jose built around a simple premise: great products hatch when two forces meet, your insight and their execution. Hatch's focus sits squarely in consumer packaged goods. For their latest collaboration with Vizcom, industrial designer Alec Comido wanted to see what he could design in one hour.
