Discover how to build and optimize video automation workflows that save your team 20+ hours per week and scale your video marketing effortlessly.
Video automation is the process of using AI and software workflows to automatically convert property photos into professional videos at scale. Instead of manually creating each video, automation mode lets you upload hundreds of photos and generate all corresponding videos with minimal effort.
Real estate is fast-paced. New listings arrive daily. Buyers expect video. But creating video for every listing manually is impossible. Automation solves this by:
A successful automation workflow has 5 key components:

Pro tip: Use API connections for real-time syncing. When a new listing is added to your MLS, automatically start video creation.
Create presets for different video types. Most teams use 2-3 standards:
Pro tip: Each preset applies your branding, music, pacing, and quality standards automatically.
Define which listings get automated. Common rules:
Pro tip: Set different rules for different teams or markets. Customize by property type, price, or location.
Decide where videos go when they're created:
Pro tip: Different videos can go to different channels. Use quick highlights for social, full tours for listings.
Track what's working. Most teams measure:
Pro tip: Review automation reports weekly. Adjust presets and rules based on what's driving results.
