From walkthrough to final cut

A listing video is built long before the edit. This is the order that keeps shoots short and tours easy to follow.

  1. Scout and plan the route

    Walk the property at the hour you will shoot, note where daylight falls, and write a shot list that follows the path a buyer takes from the curb to the backyard.

  2. Light, level and stabilize

    Balance window exposure with interior light, keep verticals straight, and decide on a gimbal, slider or locked-off move for each room before you press record.

  3. Shoot each room as a sequence

    Capture an establishing wide, a slow reveal and one detail that tells buyers what makes the space worth seeing. Three shots per room is usually enough.

  4. Edit, grade and cut for every platform

    Assemble the full tour first, match color from room to room, then trim vertical versions for social feeds and export sizes that suit listing portals.
