Based on a recent survey, we received several comments about the video. So, I thought I would share some ideas on how to make a really effective video.\u00a0 We will also work to change how we do some things in production so what you get as a draft has some of these things taken into account.\u00a0 So please look at the tips below and try to incorporate them into your next video. You can see an example of a video by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Edit

Edit Transition tool<\/p><\/div>\n

1.<\/strong> Try to keep the video under 2 minutes. <\/strong> 1-2 minutes is ideal.\u00a0 This means if you have a video with 5 seconds for each photo, a 2 minute video will be 24 photos.\u00a0 Most people will not sit through a 4 minute video.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Adjust the time sequence of photos. <\/strong> Did you know you can change how long a photo shows during the video?\u00a0 Just go to Edit Video from the Tour Editor menu (Manage orders>Tour Editor>Edit Video) and then select Edit Transition on a photo.\u00a0 The default time period is 5 seconds per photo.\u00a0 If you want a faster, more upbeat video, change it to 2 or 3 seconds.\u00a0 You can even apply the time sequence to All Photos and then adjust a few more important photos to show for a longer period (see screen shot at right).\u00a0\u00a0 For an example of a video that speeds it up, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Add text to each photo to help explain the scene. <\/strong> Just select the Edit Text button at the bottom of each photo to add a photo name and add a text description.\u00a0 The name shows in the photo gallery view, the description shows on the video itself.<\/p>\n

4. Select Different Music. <\/strong> We have over 200 song choices across different genres.\u00a0 We are working to add more music with some vocals\/more Indie type feel. You can change the music under the Music Selection section on the Edit Video page.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more music …<\/p>\n

Can I use my own music from CDs I own?<\/em><\/strong> Short Answer: NO. Long Answer: We currently do not allow you to upload your own music – the reason is copyright issues.\u00a0 All songs are copyright protected.\u00a0 ANY use of a song in a real estate “For Sale” tour would be considered for a “commercial purpose” and therefore subject to copyright laws.<\/strong><\/em> If you have not properly licensed music, then you would be in violation.\u00a0 EACH violation can have both actual and statutory damages….statutory damages run $750 PER occurrence.<\/strong> Read more at the US Copyright Office<\/a>.\u00a0 So, it is not worth the legal risk…to you or us.\u00a0 Also, to license a top artist’s song is prohibitively expensive – thousands of dollars.\u00a0 Therefore, we have to license music from stock music libraries and royalty free sites.\u00a0 ALL of our music on the tours has been properly licensed.\u00a0\u00a0 At some point we may allow you to find and license your own music and upload it to your account…but we will require proof of a valid license.<\/p>\n

We are working to add more improvements to the video part of the tour, including larger\/crisper photos, ways to create a real video file with uploads to YouTube, and some new music. \u00a0 We welcome any comments you have by sending us an email using the form below.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading…
