Reels & Videos

Create a video from your photos

Prepare a video, review its scenes, and wait for the finished render before posting.

4 min readUpdated Sep 18, 2026

Turn your own photos or a listing's photos into an MP4. The video editor lets you choose the scene order, timing, movement, branding, and music before rendering.

Before you start

Have a small set of clear photos in Uploads, or a listing with the photos you want to use. Check your brand and persona so the finished video uses the correct identity. The editor shows the required scene count and video-render usage before creation.

1. Choose Reel or Video from photos

Open Content → Create. In Start fresh, choose:

Starting pointOutputUse it for
ReelVertical, 9:16 MP4A portrait property walkthrough or short social video.
Video from photosLandscape, 16:9 MP4A wider presentation that gives landscape photos more room.

You can also browse Reels or Videos in the template gallery and choose Use in reel or Use in video to begin with a particular overlay style.

2. Add your photos

Choose Pick a listing to import that property's photos and use its facts for the overlays. Without a listing, choose Add scenes, select images from the media library, then confirm your selection. Add scene in the strip adds more images later.

Wait for imported photos to finish loading. Review the thumbnails; the fact that a listing is selected does not prove all of its photos imported successfully.

3. Arrange and adjust each scene

Drag the thumbnails into the order you want. Select a scene to reveal Duration, Motion, and Fit. Use Replace photo if that scene needs a different picture.

Select a scene in the bottom strip to adjust that photo. The footer shows total duration and render usage.

Select a scene in the bottom strip to adjust that photo. The footer shows total duration and render usage.

For a simple tour, start with the strongest room or exterior, move through two distinct features, and end with a useful reason to enquire. See scene timing and photo fitting for the controls in detail.

4. Add branding and music

Choose Choose overlay for a branded layout, or leave No overlay for photos only. Check the persona at the top. When an overlay exposes Overlay text, review the address, price, and contact details. The Intro card switch appears for styles that support it.

Choose music and adjust Volume. Use No music if you want a silent export. See overlays and music.

5. Create and review the actual MP4

Read the duration, scene count, and usage in the footer, then choose Create video. The status changes as the job queues and renders. The app says you can leave after rendering has started and will notify you when it is ready.

Play the finished output from beginning to end. Check photo crops, text, branding, and sound. Then choose Download or Add to a post →. Adding it to a post still requires a caption, destinations, and a publishing decision.

If you cannot finish

  • Create video is disabled: read the hint under it. Add the required number of photos, wait for imports, or check the account's video access.
  • A room is cropped too tightly: select the scene and use Fit · blurred bg.
  • The listing photos did not import: use the media library to add them and verify the overlay facts separately.
  • Rendering stalled or failed: follow check and download your video.
