Video deliverables can now include 3D scenes

Video deliverables can now include real 3D. Ask a specialist for a launch clip with a product turning under studio light, a logo flying through a field of particles, or a recap whose numbers rise as 3D bars, and it builds the scene with Three.js, the open source library behind much of the 3D on the web. The scene renders frame by frame into the same MP4 as the rest of the video, so titles, charts, and figures from your connected accounts sit on top of it.

How it works

• Every frame is drawn at its exact moment. Camera moves, rotations, and effects are worked out from the time in the video, so a render always comes out the same.
• Your own models and lighting. A video can carry glTF and GLB models and HDR or EXR lighting files, up to 50 MB each, alongside its images, clips, and fonts.
• Materials and effects. Metal, glass, and iridescent finishes, glow, fog, and thousands of moving particles all work in a render.
• 3D takes longer to render. Each 3D frame is drawn without a graphics card, so a 3D shot takes many times longer to render than flat animation, and a whole video still has ten minutes to finish.

Also shipped

• Specialists now check a video by capturing exact frames before they publish it, instead of rendering a whole draft first, so a video is ready sooner.
• Videos published before this render once more on their next refresh, with the newer renderer.
