Picture Motion · Shot Builder

Turn One Strong Image Into A Week Of Posts.

Shot Builder treats your photo like a large canvas. Place 2–5 camera frames on the areas that matter, and each one becomes its own reel start.

  • Individual Frames — each area exports as its own vertical or widescreen reel.
  • Stitch Later If You Want — combine finished clips in Quick Stitch for a longer reel.
  • Sharp Cropped Frames — server-side HD upscaling keeps saved moments clear.
