What is property video?

Property video is cinematic real estate video — a short, edited film that walks a buyer through a home, development or estate in motion, rather than as a set of still photos. It typically combines a paced signature opener, gimbal-stabilised walkthrough sequences, a full cinematic colour grade and licensed music, delivered as both a 16:9 horizontal master and a 9:16 vertical cut for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It is made for real estate agents marketing listings, property developers launching new phases, and agencies producing brand films — anyone who needs a listing to travel further than a static gallery and hold attention on a feed. DV Media produces property video across South Africa, with a standard 48-hour turnaround and one round of revisions included. Every video is quoted on request, scoped to the property and the formats you need.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long is a typical property video?

Length is matched to where the video will be used. Social cuts run around 60 seconds — punchy, music-led and built to stop the scroll on Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp broadcast. Cinematic walkthroughs run roughly 90 seconds, giving a paced tour through every key space from a hero opener to a signature closing shot, which suits most standard listings. Flagship listings and development launches run 2 to 3 minutes, with room for voiceover, interview cutaways and multiple vantage points. Going much longer rarely helps — watch-through rates drop sharply past the two-minute mark on social platforms — so we deliberately edit tight and, where it is useful, deliver a short social cut alongside the longer walkthrough so you have the right length for each channel.

Do you provide vertical cuts for Instagram?

Yes. Every property video package includes a 9:16 vertical cut designed specifically for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, alongside the 16:9 horizontal master for websites, YouTube and listing portals. The vertical version is not a cropped afterthought — it is re-framed so the subject stays centred and the composition still works on a phone screen, which is where most buyers first encounter a listing. A 1:1 square cut is available as an add-on for grid posts. Delivering both orientations from the same shoot means you can publish across every channel without paying for a second edit or compromising on framing.

Can you add a voiceover?

Yes. We can add an agent voiceover, which keeps the video personal and helps build the agent's profile with buyers, or a professional voice artist for a more polished, brand-led tone — whichever suits the listing and your marketing. Voiceover works particularly well on flagship listings and development films where there is a story to tell about the location, lifestyle or design. Licensed music is always included as standard on every property video, sourced from licensed libraries so your video will not be muted or blocked on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube for a copyright claim. We will recommend the right combination of voiceover and music for your specific brief.

Can we do video and photography on the same day?

Yes — and it is usually the most efficient way to work. The Standard and Pro packages combine both photography and video in a single visit, typically taking 2 to 3 hours on site for a mid-sized home. Shooting together means one access arrangement, one styling effort, and a consistent look across your stills and your film.
