How to Create a Sunlight Analysis Video with Sun Diagram, Photoshop, and CapCut
🔹 Step 1: Create a 3D Sun Path using the Sun Diagram plugin
Use the Sun Diagram plugin to generate a 3D visualization of the sun’s path in your architectural model.
👉 You can download the plugin here: https://sundiagram.com/sun-diagram
🔹 Step 2: Export images from Sun Diagram
Once the sun path is set, export images from the plugin.
📌 Note: I turned off the “Name Sunpath” layer to keep the image clean and minimal.
🔹 Step 3: Combine images into a video using Photoshop
I merged the images sequence into a video timeline.

🔹 Step 4: Final edit with CapCut
Finally, I imported the video into CapCut for clean editing — adding background music, smooth transitions, and final layout.
🎬 This is where the video comes together into a clear and engaging visual.
