Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about the AI Animation Generator, answered.

You can create various animations including orbits, pans, zooms, and dolly shots. You can also use text prompts to describe custom camera movements for more creative control. Popular choices include slow exterior orbits for hero shots and gentle interior pans for walkthrough presentations.
Simple animations are typically generated in just a few minutes. The exact time can vary depending on the complexity of the camera movement and server load. This is dramatically faster than traditional animation workflows which can take hours or days to render.
Animations are delivered as high-quality MP4 files, universally compatible for presentations, social media, and websites. Videos are generated at high resolution suitable for professional use.
AI Animation is available on our Pro and Team plans. Each video uses approximately 10 credits. On the Pro plan ($35/month, 1,000 credits), you can generate around 100 animations per month.
Yes. You can start with any image — a sketch, a CAD drawing, a photograph, or an AI-generated render. The animation tool works with whatever visual you upload, adding cinematic camera motion to bring it to life.
Traditional architectural animation requires a full 3D model, complex scene setup, camera path keyframing, and hours of render time. Fenestra generates cinematic animations from a single image in minutes, with no 3D modeling or animation expertise required.
Absolutely. All paid plans include a full commercial license. Architects use Fenestra animations for client presentations, social media content, website hero videos, and competition submissions.
Yes. You can select from preset camera movements like orbit, pan, zoom, and dolly, or use text prompts to describe a custom camera path. This gives you creative control without needing animation software.
Any clear architectural image works well — AI-generated renders, photographs, or clean sketches. For the best results, use images with good depth and clear spatial relationships so the AI can create convincing camera movement.
Fenestra generates cinematic architectural animations from a single image in minutes — no 3D model, camera path keyframing, or render farm required. Traditional tools like Lumion ($1,149/year) and Twinmotion (free under $1M revenue, $445/year) require a complete 3D model and powerful GPU hardware. Runway and Pika offer general AI video but lack architectural understanding. Fenestra is purpose-built for architecture with presets for orbit, pan, zoom, and custom camera paths.
AI-generated architectural animations with Fenestra cost approximately 10 credits per video (around $0.35 on the Pro plan at $35/month). Traditional architectural animation studios charge $3,000-$15,000 per minute of animation, with turnaround times of 2-4 weeks. Freelance animators typically charge $500-$3,000 per short walkthrough. Fenestra delivers results in minutes instead of weeks.
