The Listing Video Checklist: Shoot, Build, Post

A listing video from photos is a short list of steps in a fixed order — plan the rooms, shoot three photos each in sequence, build the clips, cut the reel and the walk-through, post at each stage — and a checklist keeps a busy week from skipping the step that matters. Print this one and keep it in the car.

Before the visit

Write the room list and the landing detail for each. Check the light and the hour. Confirm the photos' licence if a photographer shot them. Charge the phone and clear its storage.

At the property, on the board, posting

  • Every blind open, every lamp on, counters bare, pets out.
  • Per room: doorway, a step forward, at the feature — same height, level, main lens, landscape.
  • Exteriors first if it is morning; the pool and the yard before nine.
  • Check the first and last photo of each set before leaving the room.
  • On the board: confirm which photo opens and which lands; pick the move by the room's shape.
  • Generate; check each clip's first and last frame against the photos.
  • Cut the vertical reel (15–30 s) and the wide walk-through (1–3 min) with title cards.
  • Caption: price, beds and baths, neighbourhood, one sentence, address.
  • Post: coming soon, just listed, open house, price change, just sold.
  • MLS: the unbranded link in the tour field.

Questions

How long does the whole list take?

Ten extra minutes at the property, a few minutes per clip rendering in the background, and half an hour of cutting and captions.

What if a room fails the check?

Re-shoot the one photo that is off, or ask the AI Listing Planner what to re-shoot before you spend a generation.
