Getting started

From download to your first shot.

Install

Run the installer. With Premiere Pro on the computer, it adds the VellaMotion panel too. Windows may warn you first: see the installation guide.

First start

VellaMotion downloads its picture models (about 2.2 GB) while you look around, and offers GPU support for NVIDIA cards.

Open the panel

In Premiere Pro, choose Window → Extensions → VellaMotion. It starts the app for you.

Animate

Select a photo on your timeline and choose Animate. The moving clip lands right above it.
