Choose animations when creating a tour

Open AI Animations after adding the listing

Import a listing URL or upload your photos, then review the sequence and property information. In Video settings, open AI Animations. These choices tell the app how to prepare the new tour; individual scene tools let you refine a result afterwards.

Choose quality and the number of animated photos

1. Choose an available Quality. Review the credit information again after changing it.
2. Set Number of photos to animate with AI. A smaller selection can focus attention on the entrance, main living space or another highlight.
3. If you do not want generated animations, choose zero. You can use ordinary photo movement and add effects to selected scenes later.

Pick the views yourself, if you want

1. Choose a number greater than zero to reveal Choose which photo to animate (optional).
2. Open it, scroll through the photos and select Animate under the views you want.
3. When the selected count is full, uncheck one before picking another. Only the first 30 positions can be chosen here.
4. Use Reset my choice to clear your hand-picked selection and return the choice to the app. Recheck your picks after removing or reordering photos.

Choose what happens in those scenes

Some animation styles depend on the quality you selected. If an option is locked, read its message rather than assuming your selection was applied.

• AI Motion: adds camera movement based on the photo.
• 3D Text: adds a short message within a scene. Choose a text preset and, when available, an animation style.
• Lifestyle Scenes: adds people doing an activity. Review the people or category choice.
• Virtual Staging: furnishes or restyles a scene. Review the design and optional reveal.
• AI Drone shot: adds a location scene when an address is entered. Check the building and surroundings before using it.

If you selected Walkthrough Tour

Templates appears with at least 30 photos. Walkthrough Tour uses High quality and camera movement between the photos in its reviewed route. It turns off the avatar and tour voiceover. Staging, lifestyle and 3D-text choices are unavailable because they replace the photos the route uses. An address-based drone shot can still be included.

Review the total and then inspect the result

1. Review the credit amount near Generate My Video Tour after all selections, including any cover or reel options.
2. Generate once. When ready, check each animated scene for accurate doors, windows, room proportions, text and views.
3. For an unsuitable result, open that scene’s tool or choose a previous version. Apply changes after the correction.

Review the total and launch your tourExample

Check the cost before making another version

Generating a new version is a new AI attempt and uses the credits shown for your selected options. A result that finishes but is not the look you wanted is different from a technical failure. Compare existing takes before paying to generate again.

Why a staging or 3D animation choice is locked

During creation, the 3D Text Animations and Virtual Staging Animations choices require High quality. Choose High quality in the creation settings to unlock those animation choices, then review the changed allowance and total.

This particular lock follows the selected quality setting. It is not a message that your uploaded photo has failed a minimum-resolution test. Photo clarity still matters for the result.
