Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a 3D tour and walkthrough video?

A 3D tour is interactive - viewers control navigation through 360° spaces. A walkthrough video is a linear presentation created from photos, playing automatically like a movie. Both work with AppFolio.

Which is better for rentals - 3D tour or video?

Walkthrough videos perform equally well and are much faster/cheaper to create. Most renters watch videos on mobile where the linear format works better than interactive 3D navigation.

Can I add both a 3D tour and video?

AppFolio typically has one Virtual Tour field. Choose your best performing content, or create a landing page that hosts both and link to that.

Do walkthrough videos work on all syndication sites?

Yes! YouTube-hosted walkthrough videos are compatible with all major listing sites including Zillow, Apartments.com, and Trulia.

How much does it cost to create a walkthrough video?

With PhotoAIVideo, walkthrough videos cost as little as $7.99 per video with a Pro subscription. Compare this to $300-500 for a professional 3D tour.

Do I need special photos for walkthrough videos?

No! Your existing listing photos work perfectly. Just upload them to PhotoAIVideo and get a professional video in under 2 minutes.
