At first I thought this was a 3D scanner smartphone app. Depth of field from multiple aspects. (I was pretty excited..)

Arh no sorry :). This is a very simple way of producing beautiful images from your 3d models.

The background video at the top is really confusing. It's like a puzzle - try and guess what the app does, scroll down for an answer.

This -

  Visualizer transforms your SketchUp creations into 
  beautiful photos without requiring any special 
  settings, materials, or lighting.

needs to be front and center, because it actually explains what the product does. And this -

  Visualizer’s always-ready camera is as simple to use 
  as the camera in your smartphone.

only adds to the confusion from the video. It looks like an interesting product, but it takes an effort to realize that. The page just looks and feels hectic and messy. I would strongly consider ditching the video and reworking the copy from scratch.
