Add a drone shot during creation

After importing or entering the property address, look in AI Animations for AI Drone shot. Select it if you want a location scene prepared with the tour, then check the added cost. When the video is ready, verify that it shows the right building and surroundings.

The editor’s Location tab, explained below, gives you a separate workflow using a map screenshot and an exterior reference photo.

Prepare the two views

1. Enter the complete address and open Google Earth or Street View with the provided button.
2. Find the correct building and save a screenshot with the building clearly visible.
3. Return to Location and upload that screenshot in the map-image area.
4. Upload a real exterior photograph of the same house in the reference-photo area. When previous choices are shown, select the intended image in each group.

Check that both images show the same property

The map screenshot shows where the property sits; the exterior photo helps identify the correct building. Before generating, compare the roof, driveway and nearby buildings. Use an exterior view from a similar angle where possible.

Choose a still aerial or a moving shot

The final step offers Create a High Resolution Drone Photo and Create a High Resolution Drone Video. The first creates an image; the second creates a moving result. Both need the map screenshot and exterior photo. Check the displayed cost for the option you choose.

Choose and add a shot

1. Use Find my property on Google Earth or Street View to find the view you want.
2. Save a map screenshot and upload it in Location.
3. Add an exterior photo of the same house, taken from a similar angle.
4. Review the shot options shown in the panel.
5. Review the displayed credit amount and generate the shot.
6. Preview the result and add the finished shot to your tour.
7. Position it in the scene order and apply the changes.

Add the finished result to the tour

1. Wait for the item in Your drone shots to become ready.
2. Preview it and select Add to video if you want it in the tour. A completed item is not the same as an added scene.
3. Find the new scene, set its order and review its caption and any narration.
4. Apply the changes and watch how the location scene joins the property tour.

Verify the surroundings

Check that the shot shows the correct area and does not suggest a view, boundary or feature that the property does not have. If the result is unsuitable, leave it out and use a verified exterior photo instead.

Use it as an introduction to the area

Treat the generated aerial as a visual introduction. Verify the actual building, nearby roads and surroundings yourself; do not infer boundaries or access rights from the generated image. If the view is wrong, leave it out and use a confirmed property photo.

The AI Drone shot at creation is an optional paid effect

The AI Drone shot option in Create a video shows its extra credit cost. It is not a free scene included in every tour. Check the address and displayed total before selecting it.

If an aerial scene is already in a tour and you do not want it, remove that scene in Editor and apply the changes. Removing a completed effect does not reverse the generation charge.
