What the AI is allowed to change about your car and what it is not.
This is the question most dealers ask before the first upload, and it deserves a straight answer. A video that flatters a car you cannot deliver is worse than no video, because the buyer finds out in the forecourt.
Does the AI invent parts of the car it never saw?
No. The motion is built from the photos you send, so the camera only travels across surfaces that were actually photographed. A wheel you never shot does not appear in a new design, it simply stays out of frame. This is the difference between animating real stills and generating a car from a text description, and it is the reason the upload asks for the four corners rather than one hero shot.
Will the paint colour shift?
Colour is the detail buyers check hardest, and it is the one that most often drifts when footage is graded for looks rather than for accuracy. The grading here stays close to the source photos rather than pushing toward a showroom look. If a metallic reads differently on your screen than on the car, that is worth flagging before you publish, not after.
What happens to number plates and reflections?
Plates are visible in most listing photos and stay visible in the video unless you ask otherwise. If your market requires them obscured, say so with the upload. Reflections behave the same way: what was in the bodywork when you took the picture is still in it when the shot moves, including the phone and the person holding it. Shooting with the sun behind you removes more of that than any amount of processing.
What if one stretch of the video is wrong?
Mark the three-second segment and it gets rebuilt, rather than the whole video being regenerated and every other shot changing with it. Three rerolls are included. In practice the segment that gets marked is almost always the same kind: an interior shot where the photo was too dark for the motion to hold up.
How do you check a video before it goes on a listing?
Watch it once at full size with the car in front of you, or with the photos open beside it. Three things are worth the thirty seconds: the wheels, because they are the part a moving camera most often smooths over; the interior trim, because dark photos give the least information to work from; and any damage you disclosed in the listing text, because a video that quietly omits a scuff you wrote about creates a contradiction the buyer will find. If something is off, mark that segment and send it back. If nothing is off, it goes out.
The same check applies whether the file ends up on a Facebook Marketplace listing, on a portal, or in a reply to a buyer. If you want the longer version of how the walkaround itself is assembled, that is covered in the walkaround video guide, and the cost side is broken down in what a dealership video actually costs.
