Common Mistakes to Avoid

Low-Quality Photos

Low resolution or poorly lit photos result in low-quality videos. Always use HD photos with good lighting.

Poor Photo Sequence

Random ordering confuses viewers. Flow should be: exterior → entrance → main rooms → highlight features.

Too Few Photos

Using fewer than 10 photos creates a rushed video. Aim for 12-15 for a 45-60 second video.

Generic Voiceovers

Use AI voiceovers that highlight specific features or record your own for authentic personal touch.
