Why Video?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to produce a property video?

Generally, it takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to film the property, depending on the size of the home. Post-production (downloading, editing, narration, music inclusion, output, etc. take approximately 3-5 hours. We try and have your video available online within 48 hours if possible.

Why do video tours cost more than 360 degree virtual tours?

The time, labour and equipment involved is considerably more than what is needed for a typical virtual tour. Virtual tours are shot in a matter of minutes with a special 'mirror' lens, then the 'doughnut' photo is unwarped in a software program and turned into a virtual 'spin around tour'. Creating a virtual tour takes very little time - many 'scenes' can be produced in just a half hour!

Video tours take many hours to produce each 3-7 minute video, with editing, soundtrack, script writing and the recording of the narration. Also included is web video encoding, html coding, video compression in both QuickTime and Flash formats and graphic design. In addition, we use high quality, licensed music on all tours, which generally run approximately $50 per track.
