How to make a listing video from house photos as a realtor

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add your best photo of the house in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the move you want, such as a slow push in through the front door at golden hour. Check the Draft, tap Make, and you get a video of up to 15 seconds for your listing post. Rift is an iPhone app.

Add your best photo of the house and Spark builds a short move through it, such as a slow push through the front door, so buyers get a feel for the space.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add the photo of the house or room in Rift.
  2. Tell Spark the move: a slow push in, a drift across the room, a pan along the garden.
  3. Check the Draft. Ask Spark to keep the house exactly as in the photo.
  4. Tap Make once you have seen the price on the button.
  5. Find it in your Library and post it with the details in the text.

Questions people ask

Can I show a room that is empty?

Yes. Add the photo of the empty room and ask Spark to keep the walls, windows and floor as they are.

Can the video show the price or address?

Text over video isn't in the app yet. Put the price, address and open house time in the post itself.

Can I show the house at another time of day?

Yes. Ask Spark for evening light or a warm sunset on the same photo.

Can I make a video for each room?

Yes. Make one video per room or view and post them together.
