Hypernatural

Animation length and shot duration

Control how long your animation is by adjusting the shot length before animating.

Animations in Hypernatural can be up to 8 seconds long. The length of your animation is determined by the length of the shot — so if you want a longer or shorter animation, adjust the shot first, then animate.

How to adjust animation length

  1. In the timeline, drag the edge of the shot to set your desired length

  2. Animate the shot — the animation will match the shot duration up to 8 seconds

If your shot is longer than 8 seconds

Animations are capped at 8 seconds. If your shot is longer than that, the animation will play for 8 seconds and then hold on the final frame for the remainder of the shot.

Tips

  • For a natural-feeling result, try to keep shots close to the animation length

  • A held final frame can work well for product shots or simple scenes, but may look unnatural for shots with characters or movement

  • If the final frame hold looks off, shorten the shot to match the animation length
