Create realistic Gmail inbox and email animations
The preview plays as soon as it's ready. ⌘/Ctrl + Enter to send.
MockClip's Gmail video maker animates an iPhone inbox the way it plays out in real life: a new email slides in at the top in bold, gets a star, opens with a tap and receives a reply typed on the keyboard. Write the inbox rows, the email that arrives and its body, then line up what happens in a short script.
Each row shows the sender on a colored letter disc (or a photo you upload), the time, the subject and a one-line preview, and unread emails stay bold until they are opened. The email screen shows the subject with its importance marker and label chip, the sender, "to me" and the body, with your reply added underneath.
Add the emails already in the inbox with sender, subject, preview, time and body, and mark which are unread, starred or important. Add the emails that arrive during the clip.
Line up the steps: a new email arrives, a star is tapped, the email opens, it is marked important, a reply is typed and sent, and the view goes back to the inbox. Set the pause before each step and the typing speed.
Preview it, switch between light and dark, then export MP4 or GIF. Turn on 1:1 Cropped for a square frame of the inbox.
An incoming email slides in at the top of the inbox and pushes the other rows down, in bold as unread, with a short arrival sound.
Unread rows show the sender, time and subject in bold. Opening an email marks it read, so the row is plain when you go back to the inbox.
Tap a row's star or the open email's star to fill it in, and toggle the importance marker beside the subject. Each pops briefly when it turns on.
On the email screen the keyboard slides up and your reply is typed letter by letter into a draft under the email, marked Draft until it is sent.
A touch indicator shows each tap before it happens, and original sounds play for new mail, stars, typing and sending. Both can be switched off.
Open a video with the email everyone waits for: a job offer, an acceptance letter, a breakup message or a rent increase, read and answered on screen.
Show your newsletter or product email landing in an inbox, getting starred and opened, as a clean visual for an ad or a launch post.
Walk through an email workflow step by step, from a new message arriving to the reply going out, without recording a real inbox or blurring private data.
Open the Gmail video maker, fill in the inbox and the email that arrives, then add steps to the script: arrive, star, open, reply and back. Preview it and export a video or GIF. Signed in, you can also use Describe it instead.
