Videos, in general, have a higher retention rate. They can make your revenue grow 49% faster and increase conversions by 80% on landing pages.

So it is understandable that you might want to use more videos for your real estate business.

From the statistics I already covered in my article about real estate videos, I mentioned that video production could cost a lot of time.

That’s where (real estate) video makers come in.

This type of software presents a shortcut for video production and makes it possible to produce videos automatically.

Therefore, in this article, you will learn about what real estate video makers are, their standard features, 15 real estate-friendly providers, and which offer free real estate video templates.

 

What Are Real Estate Video Makers?

A video maker is usually a cloud-based or web-based application or software that enables you to create videos without using your face or elaborate video production.

Most video makers have some sort of pre-made templates, including different styles and cut types, where you just have to drag and drop the photos you want to use and some pre-made video clips.

You can also often add text to give the different clips some subtitles.

The end product is rather video presentations consisting of pictures.

 

Standard Features of Real Estate Video Makers

One of the main differences between the various real estate video maker providers is pricing, the quantity of real estate video templates they provide, and whether they use artificial intelligence

They also often differ in various degrees when it comes to their customizability.

So per se, video makers don’t exist exclusively for real estate because they usually serve various industries. 

They are often found via the keyword “real estate video maker” because they have a certain quantity of ready-made real estate video templates they promote on their websites.

The usual core features are:

  • Drag-and-drop video editors.
  • Ready-made video templates.
  • Stock photos.
  • Adding text.
  • Stock music you can use.
  • An image upload. 

After being added to the video maker, uploaded images are converted into promotional videos or video presentations.

There are actually two categories within the (real estate) video makers.

The traditional one and a fully A.I. or machine learning-powered one.

The traditional real estate video maker uses the standard features I discussed above. 

This means you can either upload your images or use stock images from the providers’ library, then edit the text and add your own or stock music or soundtracks from the providers’ library to the video. 

This is done manually, and you can edit more details manually (e.g., cropping, cutting, etc.).

On the other hand, the fully A.I. or machine learning-powered real estate video makers don’t give you that much manual freedom in editing anymore.

You just need to upload a video script, select the overall topic, and then the software does everything automatically.

The video is created based on the script you uploaded and the topic. The A.I. automatically selects media assets from a library (e.g., video clips, text elements, soundtracks, etc.) and assembles the video for you. 

While this automation can save you a lot of time, the downside is that you usually will not have the same degree of freedom when editing, as already mentioned above.

 

14 Real Estate Video Makers and Editing Apps On the Market

During my research, I identified 14 real estate video makers or, for better terms, 8 video makers that provide you with at least one ready-made real estate video template.

You can find my overview table below, ordered by the amount of real estate video templates in descending order.

As you can see, two providers are powered by artificial intelligence.

Since it is not necessary for artificial intelligence, you will not see many manual editing features selected in the table.

Around 70% of the real estate video makers offer somewhat free or trial versions, so you will not have to commit to a payment right from the beginning.

And the provider with the most real estate video templates (in total, 87) is FlexClip.

But let’s now get a bit more into the details of each.

Free Real Estate Video Templates – Which Providers Offer Them?

You might also wonder which real estate video makers offer free real estate video templates.

Generally, almost 100% of the (real estate) video makers that offer a free plan also provide free real estate video templates.

Nearly 100% of these videos will have a watermark of the video maker provider on them when you download them.

There is only one exception – the video maker from Canva.

Canva allows you to download your created videos without a watermark, even if you don’t use Canva’s paid plan.
