Renovation Video Generator

A derelict room becomes a finished one, shot from a single fixed camera in the ceiling corner so every scene is the same view at a later stage of the work.

You describe the room at its worst and what it should become. The stages, the workers, the dust and the final reveal are laid out by the format.

Before and after room renovation video

What space, and what's the end result?

Describe the room at its worst and what it should become. The before-during-after stages are laid out for you.

  • A derelict Parisian bedroom into a warm modern suite
  • A grimy basement into a home cinema
  • An abandoned barn into a bright open kitchen
  • A cluttered attic into a sunlit studio

How it works

You type one line. The format supplies everything else: the camera, the framing, the pacing, the lighting and the sound design are already written and are restated for every scene, which is what keeps a multi-scene video looking like one video.

You choose how many scenes and how long each one runs, from 3 to ten scenes of five to ten seconds. The length of the video is that multiplication, and so is the price. The default here is 5 scenes of 8 seconds.

The cheapest version of this format is 525 credits. Animated video is 35 credits per second of finished video in HD, 25 at Standard quality and 65 at Full HD. Plans start at $19 a month for 3,000 credits.

Why this format works

Transformation is the oldest short-form hook there is, and a renovation is the clearest possible version of it. The viewer is waiting for the after shot from the first second.

The fixed camera is what makes it credible. A tour of five nicely furnished rooms is not a renovation; the same corner of the same room, five stages apart, is.

The last scene deliberately empties out. Workers leave, the camera holds, and the final seconds are just the finished room. That pause is where the payoff actually lands.

Picking a subject that renders well

  • Give both ends in one line. A derelict Parisian bedroom into a warm modern suite tells the format where to start and where to finish.
  • Be specific about the style of the end result. Warm modern, mid-century, industrial and minimal all render distinctly. Nice does not.
  • This format needs at least three scenes, because before, during and after is the whole arc. Five is the default and works well.
  • Interior rooms work better than exteriors. Kitchens, bedrooms, basements, attics and barns all read clearly from a ceiling corner.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this template need three scenes minimum?

The format is a before, during and after arc. With fewer than three scenes there is no transformation to show, which is the entire point of it, so three is enforced.

How does it keep the same room across scenes?

This is the one template that chains scenes: each clip after the first is seeded with the final frame of the clip before it, so the room, the camera and the light carry forward. Every other format holds its look through the written brief instead.

What happens if I regenerate one scene in the editor?

Because the scenes are chained, regenerating one also redoes every scene after it, and the editor quotes that cost before you confirm. If only some of the cascade succeeds, you are charged for what was produced and refunded the rest.

What does a five-scene renovation cost?

Five scenes at five seconds is 25 seconds, which is 875 credits in HD. The three-scene minimum at five seconds each is 525 credits.
