Frequently asked questions

What is an animated cover snippet?

A short vertical video where the release artwork comes alive under a fragment of the track. It goes into Stories, Reels, Shorts and VK clips so the release has something to be announced with: a still image in a feed gets almost no reach.

How does ready-made motion differ from custom?

Ready-made means an existing motion template: we drop your artwork and type into it, so it is faster and costs less. A custom piece is built around one track — the movement is invented for your artwork.

What do I need to send?

A link to the artwork (cloud drive or release page), a link to the track or an excerpt, your artist name and the release title. We do not take file attachments — a link is easier and does not hit mail size limits.

What format does the finished video come in?

MP4 with the H.264 codec, 1080×1920 (9:16). That file uploads to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, VK and Telegram without re-encoding or cropping.

Can I order motion for a cover I bought here?

Yes, and it costs less that way: the cover order form has an “add animation to the order” option instead of a separate order.
