# How to Generate Animated Thumbnails with OpenClaw

OpenClaw batch-processes animated thumbnails through automated pipelines. Feed in an entire image library and generate consistent motion effects across all thumbnails in one pass. Specify loop durations, animation styles, and output formats as structured parameters for repeatable, scalable production across large content catalogs.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Provide the image: "Animate this product photo with a 360-degree rotation effect"
3. OpenClaw creates the animated thumbnail
4. Adjust: "Slow down the rotation and add a subtle depth-of-field effect"
5. Batch-animate thumbnails for your entire product catalog

## Example Prompt

```
Turn this product photo into an animated thumbnail. Add a slow 360-degree rotation with soft lighting changes. 5-second seamless loop.
```

## Tips

- OpenClaw can batch-process animated thumbnails for large image libraries
- Specify loop duration and style for consistent results across your catalog
- Test different animation speeds and styles to optimize engagement
