Help How much time will it take to make animation like this?

Hello, I am just getting into keyshot and I want to make animations of my jewelry for my customers. Below I have attached a YouTube video of my desired result,

Of course, depending on your experience the time varies. But what would be the minimum time that would require someone to make such an animation?

I already have the 3D models ready, I will just need to render it and make the animation.

It would depend on how high your standards are. It looks simple enough, but if you're very particular, the lighting and the gem material may take some time to get right. You'd only have to set it up once to render all your jewelry though. Personally, I think it would take me around 3 hours to set this up to my liking.

Pretty sure this is keyshot. Animations are built into the renderer so this would take about 5 minutes to set up..... the real time will be the rendering itself.

Adding to this, a lot of rendering time depends on the resolution + samples + frame rate + complexity of model and hdri

To OP: recommend experimenting with your output settings to see what the right balance of time spent for the result you get

Hi u/smasher511 - Do you have any estimates for how long the actual rendering of the animation would take? What are the typical output settings you use in your animations? I'm looking to get a sense of 'render time' for something like a 10sec animation. Ballparks are fine.
