From SketchUp model to a 4K presentation movie in under 10 minutes
Thanks to everyone who has been following the examples here. Instead of another single shot, this post shows how the pieces come together.
Built for people who aren’t SketchUp experts
Many architects and interior designers we talk to use SketchUp only now and then. Model Director is made for them too. You draw a route in the model, and within about 20 seconds you’re watching it as a live walkthrough in the Camera Monitor. Most people get comfortable in about 20 minutes. After that, a complete video takes less than 10.
Three ways to move the camera
Walk: through the rooms at eye height, with a natural walking feel
Facade slide: a steady glide along the building front
Drone: orbit, spiral, rise-and-reveal, fly-over or your own custom path
12 presentation looks
Daylight, Cinematic golden, Dusk, Midnight moonlight, Cinematic moonlight, Soft pastel, Architectural model, Ink and colour, Watercolour, and the playful ones: Toon, Miniature and Claymation. (Game styles)
Music in under a minute
Pick an instrument (drums, orchestral strings, piano, marimba, guitar and more) and a mood (calm, warm, uplifting, dramatic or energetic). Press Create new and it creates a new tune within 10 seconds.
A complete movie, not just a clip
This is the part we’re most excited about. Add presentation slides between your shots for the project name, your company, the client, or a short note on the design idea. Model Director joins the shots, slides, transitions and music into one finished movie, ready to show a client. There’s no second program, no editing software and no exporting back and forth.
Export
MP4 or WebM, 720p to 4K.

A question for you: when you present to clients, what goes on your title and in-between slides? Project name and logo only, or also plans, notes and before/after views? Your answers will shape how we develop the slides next.
