Box Motion Studio

HOW TO USE MOTION STUDIO

One clear guide for the complete suite.

Learn the shared workflow first, then use the exact instructions for Box, Container or Model Motion.
Open MY STUDIO

QUICK START

The same five decisions power every studio.

Switching studios changes the creative engine, not your account, navigation, projects, usage or subscription.
01

Choose the right studio

Use Box Motion for six-sided cartons, Container Motion for bottles, cans, jars, tubes, cups and tubs, or Model Motion for an existing 3D product file.

02

Import the product

Add finished panel artwork, a curved-surface wrap, separate label files, or a supported 3D model. The manual editor keeps your real source visible.

03

Build the presentation

Set proportions, material or finish, motion, timing, background, camera framing, logo and optional watermark.

04

Save before exporting

Choose Save to MY STUDIO. Your project appears in the shared library and reopens in the correct editor.

05

Download or enhance

Render a local MP4 or PNG using the exact composition. Paid plans can optionally send a reference frame and prompt for AI finishing.

EDITOR GUIDES

Choose the product you are building.

BM

Box Motion

For rectangular cartons and boxes with six artwork faces.

OPEN STUDIO →
  1. Enter the finished folded width, height and depth—not the flat dieline dimensions.
  2. Upload Front, Back, Left, Right, Top and Bottom images, or crop each face from one JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF dieline.
  3. Use the exact-view controls to proof all six faces, then drag the viewer for a three-quarter presentation angle.
  4. Choose a motion, duration, speed and zoom; then select the box material, finish, lighting and background.
  5. Add your company logo or optional proof watermark, save the project, then export the MP4 or PNG.
CM

Container Motion

For bottles, cans, jars, tubes, cups and tubs.

OPEN STUDIO →
  1. Choose the closest container shape, then enter its finished dimensions and select the closure when one is available.
  2. Upload a full 360° wrap when the artwork was designed for a curved surface. A full wrap takes priority over separate labels.
  3. Use Front and Back artwork for label-style designs that should not wrap around the entire container.
  4. Choose the container material and label finish, then set the motion, timing, background and framing.
  5. Inspect the front, back and side transitions, save to MY STUDIO, then export the MP4 or PNG.
MM

Model Motion

For products that already exist as a 3D or CAD model.

OPEN STUDIO →
  1. Import GLB, GLTF, OBJ, STL, PLY, STEP, STP, IGES, IGS, BREP or BRP. Source files must be smaller than 250 MB.
  2. Confirm the model units, choose the bottom surface or use the orientation controls, and make sure the product sits naturally on the studio floor.
  3. Choose a real-world surface preset or custom material color, then adjust lighting, camera, motion, timing and background.
  4. Add your logo or watermark and inspect several views before exporting.
  5. Save to MY STUDIO so the project settings and supported source geometry can reopen with the project.

SHARED WORKSPACE

Save once. Continue from anywhere.

PROJECTS

Save editor state

Use Save to MY STUDIO inside an editor. The shared Projects library records the studio type and reopens work in the correct editor. Saving again updates the same project.

Open Projects →
MEDIA

Keep finished results

Manual stills, saved videos and AI results can appear in the shared Media library. Download, open or create a share link without moving between separate studio websites.

Open Media →
BRANDING

Use company-level assets

Owners and authorized users can maintain a company logo, watermark and brand colors. A project can control whether those assets appear in its preview and exports.

Open Account →

TROUBLESHOOTING

Fast answers to the most common problems.

My artwork looks stretched or misplaced.

Confirm that the source image has the same shape as the destination face or label. In Container Motion, use Full Wrap only for artwork designed around a curved surface; use Front and Back for separate labels. Box Motion no longer interrupts work with resolution warnings, so visually inspect every face before exporting.

My 3D model is sideways or floating.

Open the Model orientation controls, identify the surface that should face down, and confirm the model units. STEP, IGES, BREP and STL files commonly use a different up-axis than browser 3D scenes.

The MP4 is taking longer than expected.

Manual video is rendered frame by frame on your device. Longer clips, 4K output, complex geometry and custom backgrounds take more time. Keep the editor tab open until the file finishes and use Full HD for a faster test.

Transparent video is disabled.

The transparent studio produces a PNG still. Standard H.264 MP4 does not retain an alpha channel, so choose a solid color or uploaded background before rendering video.

I cannot see a studio, project, media or billing control.

Workspace roles and permissions control access. Ask the company Owner or an Administrator to review your permissions. Suite Admin is visible only to authorized administrative users.

I changed devices and cannot find unsaved work.

Temporary recovery data can remain only in the browser where it was created. Save important work to MY STUDIO before switching devices, clearing site data or using a private browsing window.
