I finally managed to make my video slide show after painfully creating transitions for each still photo I brought into the project, I spent like an hour making the video in Premiere, this was not working out, I needed the process to be fast. So I went right back to Premiere Pro to try and make my video slide show. None of the tools that I thought I needed were present, the whole thing looked like a bad phone app. When I first fired up Rush and compared it to its bigger brother Premiere Pro and Its competition DaVinci Resolve, I honestly thought it was a joke. I needed something simple, something fast, and then I discovered Premiere Rush. The same was true for Premiere Pro, very good software, but way more than what I needed.

Davinci is a great piece of software, but for what I wanted to do it was overkill, and the learning curve was quite steep. I started with Davinci Resolve because it is free. So, I started to look into actual video editing software. This was way too complicated to be practical at any level and was quickly discarded.

These videos were automatically generated and not quite good, and at $10 a pop could get very expensive, very fast.Īnother option I considered was to post the images on my website and create a slideshow for each property. I found companies that offered to automatically create a tour for me for $10 each. When I went about creating my first slideshow, I investigated just about all solutions available at the time. You can read more about how to easily make them here. You can read more on how to create 360 tours for real estate.Īnother great product to offer is virtual walkthrough videos, where you walk through the house and make a quick 5 min or less video of the whole property in one shot.

Thankfully things have changed and now virtual tours for the most part mean an actual video or a 360 tour. Unbeknownst to me that this slideshow is what in the real estate industry was considered a virtual tour. The first time I saw a virtual tour I was disappointed, I thought I would see a virtual 360 tour, but what I saw was a video slideshow of still images, it was not even a video. Video or virtual tours are not 360 virtual tours!

Video or virtual tours are not 360 virtual tours!.

I quickly discovered that they were offering “virtual tours” to their clients, a lot of them, so I quickly set out to find out how I also could offer them.

When I got started in real estate photography the first thing, I did was to research my competition.
