AI-enhanced
A 5-photo listing, made with Scenella. Address and price are fictional.

Pick the right tool in three questions.

Do you have photos only?

If the listing has 5, 10 or 15 good photos and no footage, AI from photos is the fastest route to a video.

Do you need a person or a drone?

If the video needs a presenter on camera or aerial footage, you need a videographer. Scenella makes neither.

How often do you list?

One-off showpiece or ten a month? A shoot suits the first. A repeatable tool suits the second.

Three ways to get a listing video.

Template editors give you a timeline, stock music and your own footage. They suit people who like to edit and have clips to edit. If you only have photos, you spend the time building the video yourself.

A videographer brings a camera, lighting, a drone and a person on screen if you want one. It is the right call for a showpiece, and it costs days and a separate invoice.

AI from photos sits between the two. Scenella takes 5, 10 or 15 photos and returns a filmed-looking walkthrough with captions and a share page in minutes.

Where Scenella does not fit: no on-camera presenter, no drone footage, and nothing that is not in your photos. Tours are 5, 10 or 15 photos.

  • Scenella shows only what is in your photos, and labels every video.

Questions about choosing a video maker.

What is the best real estate video maker?

It depends on the listing. Photos only and a short deadline favor AI from photos. A presenter or drone footage favors a videographer. Footage you shot yourself favors a template editor.

Should I use a template editor or an AI video maker?

A template editor gives you control and takes your time. An AI video maker from photos gives you a finished tour fast, with less control over each shot.

Do I still need a videographer?

For drone footage, a presenter on camera or a lifestyle shoot, yes. For a walkthrough of rooms you already have photos of, often not.

Can Scenella add a presenter or drone shots?

No. Scenella works only from your photos, in tours of 5, 10 or 15 photos. It adds no presenter, no drone footage and no rooms.

Can I upload the video to listing portals?

You get a 16:9 MP4 for listing portals. Check each portal's video rules before you upload.
