Build your Studio

Custom car photo backgrounds for your dealership.

Design your own branded studio once. Every car you process drops straight in.

What it does

A studio you design — not a preset everyone else uses.

Most car photo software hands every dealer the same generic backgrounds. Motuva Studio is yours: room shape, backdrop color, lighting angle and tone, built to your brand.

  • Save several looks: light for everyday inventory, dark for performance cars, clean white for manufacturer style
  • Switch per vehicle or per batch
  • Every car after lands in the same space, as if shot in your own facility

Rather start ready-made? The Library's indoor studios and outdoor Scenes are on every plan, Free included. Saving one you build yourself is on Pro and Ultra.

Scenes

Why it matters to a dealer

Consistency is what makes an inventory page look professional.

Mixed backgrounds — some outdoor, some white, some dark — look disorganized, and buyers notice. One shared environment turns your inventory page into a curated gallery.

  • The car is the focus, not the dealership lot
  • Stand apart from dealers running the same generic presets
  • One brand standard across every site in a group, applied automatically

Where it fits in your workflow

Build it once at setup. After that, every car uses it.

A few minutes at setup. From then on, every car uses it:

  • Upload your photos
  • Your saved studio is applied automatically
  • Download, with every photo in the processing job in the same studio

How it works

How Build your studio works.

Step 01

Open Studios

In the web app, select Studios, then Build.

Step 02

Choose your environment

An indoor studio (room, backdrop, lighting) or an outdoor Scene: Full Wall, Feature Wall, Open Scenery or Showroom Front.

Step 03

Save it as a named studio

For example "Main Inventory", "Performance" or "Manufacturer Style".

Step 04

Process your car

Upload a photo. Motuva renders your studio at its camera angle and places your car in it, with a matching contact shadow.

Step 05

Use it every time

Every processing job uses it until you switch.
