Create a product story from still screens when a live recording is unnecessary or unavailable.
Choose screenshot animation when it fits the story
- Use it for a controlled feature sequence, app concept, UI portfolio piece or product flow that is easier to capture as clean stills.
- Use a recording instead when cursor movement, typing, scrolling or real interaction is itself the proof.
- Use consistent screenshot dimensions and product state so transitions feel intentional.
Build the sequence
- 1Open Studio in Animate mode using the button below and upload the screens in story order.
- 2Choose a motion template that supports the number and orientation of screens.
- 3Set the output ratio and device frame, then check how every screenshot fits.
- 4Adjust durations so viewers can understand each state before the next transition.
- 5Add hotspots where the camera should focus within a screen, and use each scene's caption and duration to explain the change without rushing it.
- 6Add concise text only where the visual change does not explain itself.
- 7Preview the full sequence and export as MP4 or WebM according to browser and destination support.
Keep the animation readable
Do not force a long product tour into a few seconds. Split unrelated features into separate clips, or use one benefit-led sequence for the hero and a longer walkthrough elsewhere. Motion should create continuity between screens, not make viewers chase the UI.
