Upload the tour or paste the link to your channel video. The AI finds the moments buyers stop for, cuts them vertical, burns in captions that survive a muted scroll, and scores each clip 0-100 so you know which one leads. Nothing in the frame is generated, retouched or staged — the room in the clip is the room.

Three moves. The listing photographer already did the hard part.
Drag in the MP4 your videographer delivered, or paste the YouTube link if the full walkthrough is already published on your channel. Gimbal footage, a phone walk-through, a drone exterior pass, a sit-down market update filmed at your desk — all fine. Paid plans handle up to two hours per file, so a long-format luxury tour with commentary fits comfortably. The free demo covers anything under thirty minutes.
The engine reads the audio and the footage together and marks the segments that stand alone: the reveal as you open onto the deck, the line about the school catchment, the price statement, the frank note about the roof. Each becomes its own clip, cut so it starts at the beginning of a sentence rather than three words into one.
A new listing has a short window where the local feed cares about it. Sort by the 0-100 grade, glance at the captions for anything mis-transcribed, and push the winners to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube on a schedule. Your brokerage logo and colours come from the Brand Kit and land on every export without you touching them. Any licence wording your state requires is not something we hold, so it goes in the post caption or into the footage before upload.
Real estate video has two failure modes nobody warns you about: cropping the room away, and captioning a number wrong. Both are addressed here.
Wide interior footage is the whole selling point, and a naive vertical conversion throws away the outer two thirds of a living space. The fit layout preserves the full frame inside a 9:16 canvas so a buyer sees the room you actually filmed, rather than a tall slice of a sofa.
Long tours have three or four beats that carry the property — the entry, the kitchen island, the view, the yard. The engine surfaces those instead of returning the first sixty seconds of hallway, because the opening of a walkthrough is almost never the part that sells it.
You do not have room to post eleven clips of one house. The grade ranks candidates on how each opens and where its strongest beat sits, which is the difference between leading with the primary suite and leading with the utility cupboard.
Property clips are watched in bed with the volume off. Words appear in sync with your voice, burned directly into the video in one of eleven styles, so the square footage and the neighbourhood name register even when nobody hears you say them.
Set your logo once — which corner it sits in, how large, how opaque — along with your two brand colours and a caption style, and every export comes out looking like your brokerage instead of like a tool. What the Brand Kit does not hold is text. There is no field for a licence number, so that line goes in your post caption or into the footage before you upload.
Walkthrough narration is full of breathing room — the pause while you find the light switch, the ums between rooms. Those are cut automatically, which is what separates a tight forty-second tour clip from footage that feels like someone wandering a house.
A clip that begins with "seventy-five thousand under the last comp" and no preceding clause is a misstatement waiting to be screenshotted. Clips open and close on sentence boundaries, so a price, a lot size or a caveat arrives whole or not at all.
Stream an open house or a Thursday market update on YouTube and clips are produced during the broadcast. The question a buyer asked in minute nine is postable while the stream is still running, which is not something most clipping tools can do at all.
Queue six clips of the same property across the ten days it is on market and connect TikTok, Reels and Shorts once. A listing that stays in the feed for a fortnight outperforms one that gets a single burst on launch day.
One tour, filmed once, becomes the social campaign for the entire time the property is on market instead of a single post on day one.
Twenty agents shooting footage and one person editing it is a bottleneck. Handing agents a tool that returns branded clips removes the queue.
Rate explainers and first-time-buyer questions clip extremely well, because each answer is already a self-contained ninety seconds.
A CRE walkthrough with a narrated rent roll is dense material. Short clips of individual points travel further than a fourteen-minute site tour.
Maintenance explainers, move-in walkthroughs and tenant FAQ videos become a library instead of the same phone call forty times a year.
Recruiting content and training calls hold more usable clips than listing footage does. See the webinar clip generator.
A property walkthrough is mostly a moving camera and a room. There may be no face on screen for ninety seconds at a stretch, and the informational payload is spatial — how big the kitchen is, where the light falls at four in the afternoon, whether the garden is overlooked. Preserving the frame matters more than tracking anything, which is why the fit layout is usually the right call for tours.
Agent content is the opposite. It is you, talking, and the payload is entirely in what you say. Here the speaker-tracked vertical crop is exactly what you want, captions carry most of the weight, and the moment selection genuinely earns its keep, because a twenty-minute market update contains maybe four points anyone will remember.
Most agents get better returns from the second category, which is counterintuitive when the listings are the product. Property clips reach people who happen to want that house in that postcode this month. Agent clips reach everybody who might buy or sell anything within twenty miles in the next two years, and they are what makes a stranger call you rather than the sign on the lawn.
The value of a listing clip decays fast. Interest peaks in the first few days a property hits the market, and a beautifully edited walkthrough that arrives a week after the open house is competing against a sold sign. Any workflow that adds a three-day editing delay quietly cancels most of the benefit.
That is the practical case for automating it rather than outsourcing it. Getting eight clips back the same afternoon the videographer delivers is worth more than getting three perfect ones on Friday. The clips do not need to be perfect. They need to exist while the listing is new.
The same logic explains why live clipping is worth a look for anyone streaming open houses. A moment posted while the stream is still up sends people to the stream. A moment posted the next morning is just a clip.
Automation is doing search here, not craft. On a two-hour luxury tour the expensive job is finding the four minutes worth keeping, and that is precisely what a transcript-driven pass is good at — it reads every sentence you said, places the boundaries on complete thoughts, reframes, captions and grades. Cutting the clip afterwards was never the slow part of the afternoon.
Manual editing still wins wherever the meaning is carried by pictures rather than by words. A music-led montage with beat-matched cuts, a before-and-after renovation sequence, a roundup that intercuts three properties — none of that exists in the transcript, so an automatic pass has nothing to reason about. Say you have a silent drone pass you want cut to a track: that is twenty minutes in whatever editor you already own and it is not a job for this.
The biggest mistake agents make when they try both is running them in parallel rather than in sequence. Generate first, then hand-finish the one or two clips that earn it. Reviewing eight graded, captioned candidates and polishing the best of them costs far less attention than scrubbing a raw walkthrough looking for somewhere to start.
It also changes what you are willing to shoot. When clipping costs an afternoon, you only film the listings that justify an afternoon. When the cost is flat, narrating a walkthrough you would previously have shot silent becomes the obvious move — the footage gets better because the processing got cheap, which is the opposite of the order most people expect.
Posting the full tour and stopping there. It still works on a portal or a listing page, where the viewer arrived on purpose, and it costs nothing extra. What it cannot do is reach anyone who was not already looking at that specific property, which is the entire reason short clips exist.
A photo carousel. Cheap, fast, and genuinely competitive for interiors, because stills are sharp and a buyer swipes at their own pace. Most people posting listing content underrate how well a carousel performs against video. Where it loses is voice: the agent content that actually generates calls is the content where a stranger hears you explain something.
Going live every week instead of clipping anything. A market update costs you the half hour it takes and produces the content while you talk. Pairing the two is stronger — clipping the stream as it runs on YouTube, Twitch or Kick puts the best answer of the session out before the session ends — but live alone is a defensible plan for an agent with no editing appetite whatsoever.
Paying an assistant to cut clips. This works, and the real cost is the brief rather than the hourly rate. Somebody who has never stood in the house does not know which room is the reason it will sell, so you end up watching the tour anyway in order to tell them, which is the work you were trying to hand over.
And doing nothing with the footage at all. Worth naming honestly, because it is the most common outcome by a distance. A hero video delivered, posted once and never opened again is the real baseline any of this competes against — not some perfectly edited alternative that was never going to get made.
There is no virtual staging, no generated interior, no AI-inserted furniture and no sky replacement. We do not manufacture footage of any kind. Everything in an exported clip came out of the file you supplied, which in a regulated industry is the only sensible design — a marketing clip that shows a room the buyer will not find when they arrive is a complaint, not a lead.
There is also no synthetic narration. If you did not say it, it is not in the clip. Captions are transcribed from your own audio, and while transcription is good it is not flawless with street names, unusual surnames and spoken numbers. Read the caption on any clip that states a price or a square footage before it goes out.
And nothing here checks your clip against advertising rules or fair housing law. The tool cuts video. Whether a particular phrasing is compliant in your jurisdiction is your call and your broker's, exactly as it is with every other piece of marketing you produce.
Leading with the exterior. Every agent leads with the exterior, and every buyer in the area has already scrolled past forty photographs of house fronts this week. Open on the kitchen, the view, or whatever is genuinely unusual about the place.
Letting the format eat the room. This bears repeating because it is the most frequent error by a distance: if a vertical clip shows a narrow strip through the middle of a lounge, the buyer has learned nothing whatsoever about the lounge.
Publishing the entire tour as a single post. Four minutes of walkthrough gets about eight seconds of genuine attention on a feed. Six forty-second clips cut from the same footage get six separate attempts at those eight seconds.
Filming in silence and captioning it afterwards with a text card. No voice means no transcript, which means no automatic captions and no moment detection, so most of what the tool can do has been discarded before the file is even uploaded.
And letting a mis-transcribed number through. A caption that reads one point four million over a property listed at four hundred thousand is the sort of error that gets screenshotted and circulates locally for a fortnight.
If the footage is silent and is going to stay silent, most of what is described above does not apply to you. Moment detection, captions and sentence-boundary cutting all read the transcript, and a music-only gimbal pass supplies none of it. What you would be paying for is a cropper. Either narrate the next tour or cut the silent one by hand in whatever editor you already own.
If you take a listing a quarter, the arithmetic does not work either. This earns its place on volume — of properties, or of agent content shot every week — and half a dozen walkthroughs a year is a job for the videographer who already filmed them.
And if what you are shopping for is a compliance layer, look elsewhere. We hold no licence text, we do not read your wording against fair housing rules, and we make no judgement about a claim you make regarding a property. The Brand Kit puts a logo and two colours on the frame. Everything a regulator would care about sits exactly where it sits for your portal listings and your window cards, which is with you and your broker.
Narrate while you walk. Silent gimbal footage set to music looks lovely and gives an automatic cutter nothing to work with — no transcript means no moment detection and no captions. Thirty seconds of you saying what is good about a room turns unusable footage into three clips.
Hold each room for longer than feels natural. A four-second sweep is not enough material for a clip that has to breathe on its own, and there is no way to invent frames that were never recorded.
Use a lapel mic outdoors. Wind noise is the single most common reason a garden or balcony clip comes back with mangled captions, and no amount of processing recovers a word the microphone never heard cleanly.
Then space the output across the listing period rather than dumping it. Upload the footage the day it arrives, generate everything at once, and let the scheduler drip clips out over the following ten days. That single habit is what keeps a property visible for the whole window instead of one afternoon of it.
Layout is the one setting worth touching on every single clip. Fit for a room, because a wide interior loses its outer thirds to a naive vertical crop and the room is the thing being sold. Fill or speaker-tracked once you are in frame and talking. Picture-in-picture when you want your face over a slow pan of the space — arguably the format most agent walkthroughs should be using, and almost none of them do.
Aspect ratio follows the destination: 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 for a feed post or an email, 16:9 for a website hero or a portal that will not accept vertical. Exporting the same clip at two ratios costs one extra render and saves you recutting it in a fortnight when a different channel needs it.
Logo placement is a setting made once that then quietly damages every clip. Each vertical platform stacks its own interface over the frame — a caption block along the bottom, action buttons up the right edge — so a mark parked bottom-right ends up underneath a share button on the app it was posted to. The top-left corner survives everywhere. Set it in the Brand Kit and it lands on every export without another thought.
Caption style is a contrast problem in this niche specifically. Interiors are bright and pale by design, and a thin outlined caption over a white kitchen is unreadable in exactly the shot you most wanted a buyer to read. A style with a solid plate behind the words holds up in any room, which is why it is the safer default here even though it looks heavier in isolation.
Filler and silence removal is applied to every clip automatically rather than being a box you tick, which on narrated tours is almost always what you want. Turns out the pauses in a walkthrough are overwhelmingly navigational — you finding a light switch, you deciding which way to walk — and taking them out is most of what makes a forty-second clip feel edited rather than wandered. The exception is a pause you left for effect on a reveal, so watch those before they go out.
Observations from operating the pipeline in production — not general advice.
The engine reads the words before it reads the picture, so a walkthrough set to music arrives with nothing to work on: no sentences to cut along, no speech to burn in, no statements to grade 0-100. That is why the same five minutes of footage returns one thin clip silent and six or seven narrated. The fix is not post-production. It is thirty seconds of you talking in each room, recorded while you are standing in it.
The failure mode we had to design against was never the detector missing a face in a hallway. It was the crop wandering around an unoccupied kitchen hunting for one, which reads on playback as a camera operator who cannot decide where to look. So with no subject in frame the crop is held, and for tours we point people at the fit layout instead, because the whole informational payload of a walkthrough is the part of the room a tighter crop throws away.
Transcription is strongest on ordinary conversational speech and weakest precisely where listing clips carry their value: spoken prices, lot sizes, street names and surnames. A number read aloud can land in a caption as something a buyer parses differently from what you meant, and because captions are burned into the video, the file cannot be corrected once it is posted — only re-rendered and reposted. The reason caption review sits before export rather than after is that a re-render costs minutes and a circulated misstatement costs a fortnight.
Most listing packages include a hero video and maybe one vertical cut. Asking for eight costs more and takes longer, and the extra ones are rarely worth a professional rate. Have them shoot; generate the volume yourself the day the footage lands.
Perfectly workable for one clip. The friction is that it is entirely manual — you scrub the tour, you set the crop, you type the captions, and you do that again for every property. Agents who do this for a month usually stop, which is why most listing footage is posted once and never touched again.
Those produce a recognisable template that buyers scroll past, because every agent in the area is using the same one. Real motion footage with your voice on it is a different category of content and it is the reason anyone remembers which agent posted it.
Most were built for podcasts and assume there is a talking face to centre on. That assumption is wrong for half of real estate footage. The layout control and the live open-house clipping are the things to actually compare, and the fastest way to compare them is to run one tour through. Start here.
Use a tour you already published. If the clips it pulls are the moments you would have picked yourself, you have just removed an afternoon from every listing you take.
