As Zach explains in the video, the key to professional-looking videos is knowing when to use "radical" movements (pan, orbit) versus "subtle" movements (zoom, push):
Use pan left/right and orbit left/right for exterior shots where you want dramatic, sweeping camera movements that showcase the property's architecture and surroundings.
Use zoom in/out and push in/out for interior shots to create depth and draw attention to features without causing distortion or disorientation.
Follow this step-by-step process for consistent results
Start by uploading approximately 10 high-quality listing photos. Ensure they're well-lit, properly framed, and in landscape orientation for best results.
Look through your photos and mentally categorize them as exterior or interior shots. This will help you decide which camera movements to apply.
Apply radical movements (pan, orbit) to exterior shots and subtle movements (zoom, push) to interior shots. Use automation mode for speed or manual mode for precision.
Configure each clip to display for 3-4 seconds. Adjust the total video length based on your target platform (30-60 seconds for social media, 60-90 seconds for MLS).
Choose background music that matches the property style. Consider adding an AI voiceover to describe key features and create a more engaging experience.
Click generate and wait for the AI to process your video. Once complete, review the result and make any necessary edits before downloading and sharing.
