Your fixtures, shown in the room, from photos you already have

What it works on

• A pendant over an island, a chandelier in a dining room, sconces down a hallway. Any photo that shows the fixture in the space.
• Showroom photos, shot wide enough to show the room around the fixture.
• A fixture cut out on a white background is a poor fit. There is no room for the camera to move through.

What it does and doesn't do

• It moves the camera through the room. Every clip is checked against your photos before it goes in the video.
• It does not switch a light on or off, dim it, or change the time of day.
• Close-ups of a single fixture have had less testing than whole rooms.

Where it gets used

• A Reel for each collection, or each finished install.
• On the product page, next to the stills.
• In a message to the designer, builder or electrician who specified it.
• A Short is $7.

How it works

• Add 5 to 60 room photos from your phone.
• It sorts the rooms and finds the photos that show the same space from two spots. Those pairs are what make a camera move possible.
• It plans the route in walking order: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, outside. You can swap or remove any scene before you make the video.
• Each scene is rendered, then checked against your photos. A scene that drifts from the real room is rendered again, and left out if it still fails.

What it is and what it isn't

• It is up to eight camera moves through the real rooms, joined with short fades. A Short is 4 scenes and about 15 seconds. A Full tour is up to 8 scenes and about 30 seconds.
• It is not one continuous take through the whole home. Nothing can do that from ordinary photos yet.
• The video is vertical, so it shows about the middle third of each wide photo. Rooms shot from two angles give the best moves.
