## What it does

The house starts in soft late-day light with a pale sky behind it. The sky darkens through dusk to deep blue, and the interior lamps, wall lights and garden lights glow on one after another until the home is lit up for the evening.

## From our test

We ran it on a modern house with large glass doors and a lawn, and in the final frames warm light fills the rooms and small lights glow along the garden path. It finished in about 2 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a straight-on exterior photo taken in daylight, not one already shot at dusk.
- Homes with big windows show the indoor lights best as night falls.
- Keep the camera level and the full house in view, since the shot stays still the whole time.

## Ideas for using it

- A listing agent making a twilight shot without a second evening shoot.
- A landscape lighting installer showing what a garden looks like after dark.
- A holiday rental host showing how the property feels in the evening.

## Your property, start to finish

The video opens on your exact photo, so the shape, colors and details of the property carry through the whole clip.

## Listing videos from listing photos

Turn the photos you already have into the walkthroughs, flyovers and twilight shots that make listings stand out.

## FAQ

### Will the lights match the fixtures I actually have?

The effect adds lights where it guesses they belong. Check the result before using it to represent a real property.

### Does the house itself change?

No. The building stays the same while only the light and sky change.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Day to Night?

No. Day to Night 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 Day to Night 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 Day to Night on any property?

Interior and exterior photos of homes, apartments, rentals and commercial spaces all work. Wide, bright, level photos give the smoothest camera move.
