Makeover Time-Lapse

What it does

The before/after pair is decorating’s oldest trick, and this is its moving version: the room you started with dissolving — furniture clearing, surfaces changing, light warming — into the design you finished with, in one fixed-camera shot. Because BOTH ends of the clip are pinned to your images, the structure holds far better than any free camera move: the model interpolates between two truths instead of extrapolating past one. It is the most reliable clip in the catalog and the most satisfying to send.

How to use it

1. 1Chain from any design made from a photo — before and after come along automatically.
2. 2Or upload the pair by hand: before first, after second, same viewpoint.
3. 3Five or six seconds reads best.
4. 4Watch it through once before it goes anywhere public.

Questions

Why does this hold together better than the tour?

Both first and last frames are pinned to your images, so the model fills a bounded gap rather than inventing beyond an edge. Two anchors beat one.

Do the two photos need the same angle?

As close as you can manage — the fixed-camera illusion is the product. Designs chained from a photo have this for free, which is why chaining is the recommended path.
