How to automate the creation of your product photographs & animations?

La creation of product visuals Has become a major strategic challenge In the e-commerce. Businesses need to produce images quickly, in large quantities, while maintaining a consistent quality.

What automation is really changing

Automating does not only mean speeding up the process, but above all, resuming the vetting on the whole of creative flow.

  1. Shoot more effectively
    Traditionally, shooting requires a manual adjustment of each parameter: light, framing, white balance, focus... With Orbitvu, all these settings are stored in visual profiles. An operator can therefore position the product according to visual references on the screen, launch a predefined shooting scenario, and obtain a series of coherent images in a few clicks. Regardless of the operator or the complexity of the product, the result is standardized and reproducible.
  2. Trim automatically, without manual intervention
    The Clipping is often one of the most expensive and time-consuming steps. Thanks to IQ Mask, a technology developed by Orbitvu, the products are cut automatically at the time of shooting, while maintaining their natural shadows. The result is a professional rendering without manual retouching, allowing a considerable time savings in the production chain.
  3. Create multi-format visuals without duplicating effort
    In a single shooting session, the user can produce still photos for the product sheet, 360° views for an interactive experience, and short videos ready for the web or social networks. Each format is automatically exported to dimensions, resolutions and desired formats, whether for Amazon, Shopify, Prestashop or a PIM.
  4. Centralize settings and simplify production
    Orbitvu Station, the software integrated into the studios, allows you to control all parameters from the computer (camera, light, turntable...), create Templates for each type of product, and automatically export the files in the right format with a Structured nammage. All this in a single software environment, without the need to retouch images in other tools.
  5. Standardizing quality, without photo expertise
    Thanks to theautomation, the creation of visuals no longer depends on a professional photographer.
