How to Shoot & Edit Vertical Real Estate Videos ON YOUR PHONE !! (With Speed Ramps & Hard Cuts)

[@larryisaacs5980]

Thanks Taylor, your suggestion regarding the OM5 setup helped a lot. Once I went to "follow mode" without" tilt lock" things improved significantly. Again thanks for both your reply and rapid response.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Nice! Glad to hear its working better for ya!

[@darrell3643]

You doing this with your phone is like Tiger Woods golfing with a stick and still doing great. If you have the skill, you can do great things with a lot less than you think. Awesome content!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

😂 Thanks!

When you film someone's property horizontally for KZbin, do you also do another walkthrough and film vertically, or do you just edit the horizontal video?

You're the best! Fan from Brasil here!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks so much!

[@punto360reviews]

whats the difference exporing in 24 or 60 because you shooted in 60? thanks

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Once the footage is slowed down from 60 in all or part of the footage, there wouldn’t be enough frames left per second to export at 60 fps so it would end up looking choppy.

I have to create real estate short form videos for IG but I have never used these video editing apps. Can I get this same effect on capcut?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Not sure! I haven’t used Capcut before but I’d give it a try and see what you think. It’s supposed to make things super easy right?

Could you list the set-up you use on the DJI OM5 gimbal, for videoing RE. Mine just does not move correctly as I walk through a room (follower is off) but iPhone still moves after I stop moving. Also find that i have to click twice to recent the gimbal after every clip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! I just have used it on the factory default settings. But gimbal settings (checking the app) says Follow mode: Follow, Follow Speed: Medium, Control stick speed: Slow. If you want it to be a little easier you can change it to Tilt locked mode on Follow Mode but I like to be able to add tilt to movements pretty often so I dont like that too much. How is your balancing? It should feel pretty balanced when you hold your phone by the part that connects to the phone and magnets to the gimbal. Could be off if it's too far over to one side causing it to do unwanted movements. Let me know if that helps!

[@SharAyeria]

Hey Taylor 👋🏼 Hope all is well. :) I was wondering if you could help me w my gimbal DJI Osmo 6. I’m having such a hard time using mine because even when I lock the gimbal using the back button, when I’m touring properties, the camera swivels to the sides as I’m navigating my way around the house; any tips on how I can completely lock all of its axis’s? I feel like I’ve watched every video on YT on gimbals and I still hvnt found the solution to my problem. Thank you so much in advance for you time. 😊🙏🏼 Best, Shar 🌺

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! Same for you. It might be unbalanced. Try connecting to the app and running the calibration on there and see what it says. Only thing to do will be sliding your phone one way or the other so it feels more balanced when turned off. Otherwise try the front trigger button, might be what you meant but that’s the one that locks the position. Last option is check your speed settings in the app and slow them all down to slow the movements. I keep mine as slow as possible and on pan follow mode. Let me know how it goes

Hey! Thanks for checking out the video :)

[@dragonflyhillcollective3631]

How do you open the door? I'm doing some shoots for furnished rentals and need to show what's in all the drawers and want opening and closing them to be fluid.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Either have someone else do it, close it and reverse the edit, or record opening starting closer to the drawer so it doesn’t show your hand and move away a bit after it’s all the way open. A few ideas!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

For this one it was slightly opened and I think I just slowly opened it with my left hand while filming right handed and then once I was in I closed it with my foot when I had just gotten in before moving further inside

[@DanielLopez-ro5zq]

I am following along with this. At 5:25 you talk about cutting segments out. Did you do this inside the app as well?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Yeah! All of it was in the app.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Just use the scissors icon like the “cutting end points” step before that.

[@marvinhenlock2597]

Good vid. Use tilt lock mode on that om4 to correct your verticals.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Great tip! Thanks :)

[@mr_joystick]

I am using Fujifilm xh2s. I have a 35mm f1.4 lens and I have an 18-60mm f4 lens. I want to buy a wide-angle lens that I can use vertically for social media videos that I shoot horizontally. waiting for your valuable advice🙏

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Nice! Can’t you just use the lenses you have ? Probably don’t want much wider than 18mm for most cases

[@reubenprincess855]

Can you do a gimbal moves for those into land banking real estate

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

What is that?

[@alono4473]

Great video! Question, when shooting with your iPhone and since the lenses are too small, at what time is best to shoot due to low light issues and to be able to avoid grainy pixeled videos? And other question, what if a house is too dark and your videos looks grainy/pixeled, how can you fix that? Thanks in advance for answering!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Mid-day is usually pretty good for interiors since the light will be similar on all sides of the house with the sun on top. But it depends on the house , some are just super dark! For those the best bet is to do all you can to raise the ambient light (lights on, lamps on, windows open etc) and film at a slower frame rate like 24 or 30 to get a cleaner image. Otherwise film some with your middle lens since it has a lower aperture and can let more light into the phone to get a cleaner image. You can do some noise reduction in editing but for phones it’s likely to just end up looking bad w/ no detail.

[@alono4473]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Thanks for replying and for all the tips! I’m a beginner at this and maybe I want to start creating real state videos, but right now I only my have my iPhone instead of a pro camera to start with. Do you advise shooting at 24fps or is better 60fps to slow down the videos in post? And for last, by any chance you have like a cheat sheet for shooting angles as guide? I mean like start first with the entrance, then move to living room, etc etc 🙏🏼😅

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I do have a cheat sheet! Here's the link drive.google.com/file/d/1mlo0tWQvN-GVmqTJ5-3Qa0WN1nVSJAXD/view?usp=sharing I really like using 30fps unless it's just super bright and 60 is no problem. 80% playback speed usually looks how I'm aiming for in the edit! You'll just need to practice a bit and get a feel for how quick to move so it ends up looking how you want it to once slowed down. @@alono4473 This video will probably be helpful for you - it breaks down pretty much the simplest approach to making these kinds of videos. Nothing fancy or anything :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqi6eqCihbZgrZI

[@harrydyer8724]

how do you slow down your footage from 30fps and 60 fps to 24fps? what app do you use and stuff?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! For this one it was called VN Editor and you just have to go by percentages if you want it to be accurate. But normally I edit in Final Cut Pro (Apple) and in the past Premiere Pro (Adobe) for more professional editing options.

[@fullerhousere]

This was great! Thank you

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!!

[@Gustaiiv]

What frame rate do you shoot in? 60 frames make good slowmo, but do I shoot 24 frames since a normal speed level with 60 seems jittery? I struggle with this when trying to practice.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Great question. I really prefer 30 for everything except detail shots (usually I use 60 on those) for real estate and I slow it down to 80% speed on a 24 fps timeline so it smooths out a little bit.

[@southernstylesa]

Hi Taylor. Thanks for making this video. Every bit helps. VN is a pretty cool app but i switched to inshot paid version because of extra features. I use my iPhone 11 on wide angle. Getting some good results. Question.: I see that you shot this video in portrait and not landscape. Why? Question.: Were you using the iphone camera app or 3rd party? Question.: on normal or wide angle? Thanks

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! No real reason except to do a vertical video example that would look better on reels or social. All depends on what you’re making it for :) I just used the camera app with ultra wide for most shots and wide for some!

[@DronSfm]

hi taylor, i saw your tips to shoot details at 60 fps and go down to 40% and wide angle shots at 30 fps and go down to 80%, the question is, how many fps should i do the sequence in premier? 24,30,60? to mount these videos, thank you very much !! 🙌🏻

I was wondering if you have had chance to test the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens on any of your cameras or Real Estate Videos?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! No I haven't But I used their 12mm for the real estate test shots with the BMPCC6K PRO kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIWVemN9r6iamZI and the wide POV shots on this video with my C200 (not the talking parts) if you want to see some samples. Both are with super 35mm sensors so would be similar to 16 focal length. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ3cZImPad-IfZo I liked the way the lens worked, though (focus ring, aperture ring etc) and as long as you're comfortable with MF they are sharp.

Taylor do you ever shoot these on DSLR and then transfer the video to your phone to edit?

Haven't done that, but I guess you could! Would be a lot easier on an iPad though.

[@SettleinJAX]

do you need a stabilizer?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

You can get a lot more precise movements with one & more professional looking results. But the stabilization on the iPhones is pretty crazy so you can still make some cool stuff without one.

[@rsolly288]

hey! would you suggest filming videos like this all in one go?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

That’s what I did on this one. But for some cases you’d save some memory space by cutting it into a few sections if there’s a lot of walking in between areas.

Awesome video, 2 questions, do you shoot with the wide angle lens on your iPhone or regular ? and is there any way to implement trending audios from TikTok/Reels ? Thanks for the videos I have a shoot next Tuesday and am going to try this out !

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Ultrawide for all of these shots. I haven't done that but off the top of my head you would need to download the audio from TikTok (maybe just download a video with it and rip the audio from it), put that into your editing for the music layer, edit your footage to the timing you want, then upload to TikTok (mute your edited music layer) and add the TikTok audio layer from their selections to it so it will show up connected with the other trending videos with that song (I THINK). I would imagine it might auto-recognize it if you just upload with the same audio too - just try it out and see what happens / what works. Also you could probably do that in reverse so have your own audio version of the song and mute the one you add on TikTok if you can manage that. Let me know what works!

[@MediaByMatias]
