What goes into your Magic Menu video
Send two essential images
Start with one clear food or drink photo and your first menu page. These give Stillmore the dish and menu details needed to build your reveal around what you actually serve.
Add the details you have
You can also include a second menu page, photos of your interior or a person. These optional references give the team more context for the setting and the diner in your scene.
We build the three-beat reveal
The team joins the disappearing plate, the flying menu and the returning dish into one sequence. You get a restaurant menu reveal whose action diners can follow from the empty table to the final plate.
We check the dish throughout
A different-looking plate at the end would break the reveal. Stillmore reviews the sequence before delivery, checking the food, menu and transitions so the final shot follows naturally from the opening.
Receive the video and caption
Your finished vertical video arrives with matching social copy. Add your restaurant’s serving hours or booking details, then download and publish the pair when you want guests to see the special.
Find your fit
Which dishes suit a restaurant menu reveal?
The three official examples use the same trick with different plates. Choose the one closest to the special you want guests to remember.
Pizza
A whole pizza on a wooden board gives the opening and closing shots a recognizable silhouette. Try it with a house pie whose toppings are easy to see.
Plated dessert
A small dessert on a light plate leaves room to see the empty table. The close-up after the menu lifts puts the shape and finish back in view.
Pasta
In the terrace example, the printed menu fills the frame before a white plate of pasta returns. A contrasting plate makes a seasonal pasta special easy to recognize.

Good to know
Before you make your menu video.
What happens in an animated menu reveal video?
A dish leaves the table, a menu flies back to the diner and the open pages lift to reveal the dish again. Magic Menu uses that sequence for pizza, dessert and pasta in the official examples.
Which photos does Magic Menu need?
Upload one food or drink photo and Menu Page 1. The Magic Menu form also offers a second menu page, store interior photos and a model as optional inputs.
How do I get this specific flying menu effect?
Choose Magic Menu and submit the dish and menu page yourself. With automatic creation, the Stillmore team chooses the style for the available materials.
Do I need to film the menu flying?
No. Provide your dish photo and menu page. Stillmore produces the movement and reviews the video before delivery, so you can leave the table and camera setup to the team.
What will I receive for my menu post?
Stillmore delivers the finished vertical video and matching social copy. You can use the caption to name the featured dish and add ordering details for your own restaurant.
Who publishes the finished video?
You publish it on your restaurant’s channels. Download the finished creative, check the dish name and availability in the caption, and choose when guests should see it.
Which dish will come back?
Choose your special and have its menu page handy. We’ll take care of the flying menu and the final reveal.
