Depth Motion · new in OwnClip 2.0.4

Go further. Your photos, filmed in 3D.

See the 18 styles

Depth Motion is part of OwnClip Studio. The app itself is free to download.

Three steps from a photo to a film.

  1. Pick your photos

    A trip, a weekend, your shop, your team. Choose a few favourite photos. Photos with people in them look best.

  2. Choose a style

    Eighteen looks, each with its own camera moves, colour and music. Add a title and it stands right in the scene.

  3. Share it

    Your photos come out as a short film, cut on the beat. Post it to Reels, TikTok or Shorts, or keep it as a memory.

Eighteen ways to film a photo.

Each style is a camera, a look and a piece of music. Hover over a style to play it, or tap it on a phone. These are the same previews the app shows on its style cards.

It looks filmed, because the camera moves through the photo.

  • It looks filmed, not like a slideshow

    The people step out of the photo and the camera moves around them, so every still becomes a scene.

  • Cut on the beat, no editing skills

    Every style comes with its own music, and each photo lands right on the beat. You pick the photos; it does the rest.

  • Your photos stay yours

    Everything happens on your Mac. Your photos are never uploaded, and the finished film waits in your Library.

  • Ready for every screen

    Vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, or wide for YouTube, slides and the big screen.

Questions people ask

It turns a handful of photos into a short film. The people step out of each photo, the camera moves around them in the style you pick, and every cut lands on the beat of the music.

No. Pick your photos, choose a style and press one button. The camera moves, the music and the timing are done for you.

Anywhere. Make it vertical for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, or wide for YouTube, a presentation or a screen at an event.

No. Depth Motion works on your Mac, and your photos never leave it.

Yes. With the Title Behind style, your title stands in the scene behind the people in your photos, so they appear in front of it as the camera moves.

Photos with a person or a clear subject in front of a background with some depth: a street, a landscape, a room. Each photo becomes one shot of your film.
