What the slide down does
The whole camera travels straight down, lens staying level. Settle into the room, ground the space.
See the move
Slides down. Drop straight down. Inside the app, every move also has a 3D preview of the rig and the exact photo map it asks for.
Best rooms for a slide down
- Ending a reel
- Living rooms with low furniture
- Bedrooms, settling onto the bed
- Outdoor seating and fire pits
The 3 photos to take
Take them in one visit, in the same light. The first photo is where the clip opens and the last is where it lands, so shoot them in the order the camera should travel.
- 1
Standing height
Normal standing height, pointing level — this is the opening frame.
- 2
Waist height
Same spot, camera at waist height, lens still level.
- 3
Bottom of the move
Same spot — crouch to where the move should settle, lens level, not tilted down.
Tips for a better slide down
- Start at standing height with the lens level.
- Take the middle photo at waist height and the last one crouched.
- Keep the lens level all the way — don't tip it toward the floor.
Mistakes to avoid
- Tilting down toward the floor.
- A last photo that is mostly carpet.
- Shifting position as you crouch.

Questions
How many photos does a slide down need?
3 photos of the same room: first standing height, then waist height, last bottom of the move. Take them in one visit in the same light — the slide down opens on the first and lands on the last.
Where should a slide down finish?
At seated eye level, on the furniture or view that makes the room feel lived in — the sofa, the bed, the table. That is where a buyer pictures themselves.
Is the slide down included on every Villenza plan?
Yes — the slide down, like every travel move, is on every plan at the same 720p HD output; plans differ only in listings per month.
