## What it does

The clip opens on your product against a plain backdrop, then pulls back to show it on a giant curved LED screen wrapped around a city building at dusk. The product bursts forward off the screen with a shower of particles, then settles back in while traffic and pedestrians move below.

## From our test

We ran a red running shoe, and the wide frames show it filling a corner billboard above a busy street with car headlights and a crosswalk underneath. It finished in about 2 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a cutout style product photo on a white or plain background, which reads as a clean screen image.
- Bold, saturated products like a red shoe stand out best against the night city.
- Keep the product fully in frame so nothing gets cropped when it pops off the screen.

## Ideas for using it

- A streetwear label making a teaser that looks like a citywide ad campaign.
- A startup announcing a product launch with a big screen moment for its socials.
- A marketing agency mocking up a 3D billboard idea to pitch to a client.

## FAQ

### Is this a real billboard in a real city?

No. The street and the screen are created by the effect, so it is a mockup rather than footage of a real location.

### Can I pick the city?

The effect chooses a generic busy intersection at dusk. You cannot select a specific city.

### Do I need to write a prompt for 3D Billboard?

No. 3D Billboard is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the 3D Billboard video, and how long does it take?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can I use 3D Billboard on any product?

Most physical products work: bottles, cosmetics, shoes, gadgets, food and packaging. A clean, well-lit photo with the whole product in frame keeps the shape and label faithful.
