AI Video Editor for Real Estate Agents

Real estate video formats and specs

Start with where the video will run, because that sets the shape and the length. Vertical 9:16 at 1080 x 1920 is the standard for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Landscape 16:9 at 1920 x 1080 suits YouTube, your website and most listing pages. Property portals each set their own upload rules, so check them before you export.

Example: a 45 second real estate listing video

Here is an illustrative example of how one listing video comes together. The input is 14 phone clips of 6 to 10 seconds each, about 2 minutes of raw footage of a three bedroom house, filmed in walking order from the front door to the garden. The prompt is the listing tour prompt in the next section, with the blanks filled in.

• 0 to 3 s: front of the house with the title "3 bed family home in [area]"
• 3 to 10 s: entrance into the living room, label "Living room"
• 10 to 17 s: kitchen and dining, label "Kitchen"
• 17 to 28 s: the three bedrooms, one short shot each, labelled
• 28 to 34 s: bathroom, label "Bathroom"
• 34 to 40 s: garden or view, with one line such as "South facing garden"
• 40 to 45 s: contact card with your name, number and "Book a viewing"

Your job after the draft is to check that every label lands on the right room and that the price and size text is exact. Editing this by hand in CapCut or iMovie typically takes a beginner 1 to 2 hours. Prompting and reviewing an AI draft is more like 15 to 20 minutes. Both are rough estimates and depend on how clean the footage is.

Listing tours with room labels

A tour works when the viewer always knows where they are. Ask for a short label on each room, a clean location line and a title at the top that gives a reason to watch. When you film, walk slowly, hold each room for 5 to 8 seconds, turn every light on and open the blinds. Steady footage in a clear order makes the labels land where they should.

Make a 45 second 9:16 listing video in the order of the walkthrough.
Title at the top with motion graphics: "[property type] in [area]".
Add a simple label for each room: living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom.
Keep the location text clean and small.
Upbeat music that fits a property promo. End with "[contact or CTA]".

Hard sell real estate promos with the offer

For new projects and developer launches, agents lead with the offer: the down payment, the monthly instalment, the bedroom count. Put the real numbers in the prompt exactly as you want them shown, and keep each line to five or six words so it can be read in one glance on a phone.

Show these lines with trendy motion graphics: "[type and size]", "[down payment]", "[monthly instalment]".

Fast cuts, punchy music, big engaging captions.

Aesthetic property walkthroughs

Premium homes sell a feeling. Slow pacing, minimal fonts, one line of text per scene and calm music. Agents ask for thin gradients behind the text so it reads without hiding the room.

Make it look bright and sharp. 9:16, 30 to 45 seconds.

Real estate voiceover from your script

If you would rather not speak on camera, write the script and let an AI voice read it. People speak at roughly 130 to 150 words a minute, so a 45 second video needs a script of about 100 to 110 words. Write one sentence per room so the voice and the labels stay in step.

[upload your clips]
Add a voiceover to my property promo using this script:
[paste your script]
Natural, warm voice in [language], timed to the music.
Match each line to the room it describes. Captions that follow the voice.

Agent intro videos

A short intro builds trust before the first call: who you are, the area you know and why buyers should work with you. Agents add simple maps or commute details to show what is near.

[upload your clips]
Make a 60 second 9:16 video introducing me as a real estate agent.
Points: [who I am], [the area I cover], [what is nearby], [why work with me].
Clean up the background noise, and lower traffic sounds.
Add a title card for each point and big engaging captions. End with my contact.

Shorter prompts agents send

• "Make this house promo video more attractive and add motion graphics."
• "Give me text for each scene, aesthetic and minimalist."
• "Change the music to one that fits a property promo better."
• "Add a title on top and subtitles."

“Add a title with attractive motion graphics, make it hard sell, keep the location text clean and make the video as engaging as possible.”

A real Otto request, Lightly edited

Videographer, DIY editing or an AI video editor

None of these is wrong. A professional shoot still wins for premium listings, and an AI editor does not replace good footage. The question is which listings justify which option.

Rates vary a lot by market, so ask local videographers for quotes rather than relying on any single figure.

Real estate video mistakes that cost leads

• Wrong numbers on screen. Write the price, payment and size exactly. Check every frame with text before you post.
• Too much text. One short line per scene. Buyers want to see the rooms.
• Labels that do not match. Film the tour in a clear order so each label lands on the right room.
• Claims you cannot back up. Words like "walking distance" or "sea view" should be true. Follow your local advertising rules for listings.
• No next step. End with how to book a viewing or contact you.
