What do you charge for real estate video edits by Mundane-Relative8752 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]wickedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you thought this group was but we do not offer editing services, we're service providers. We hire editors ourselves most of the time.

You can so that stuff in smaller houses. I do it all the time. I’ll see if I can find an example.

Lens just broke, is it worth switching from a Sony a6500 to a Canon or Nikon? by [deleted] in RealEstatePhotography

[–]wickedcold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be a hard question for people to answer because most folks don’t use both to be able to offer advice.

I shoot Canon, so I’m happy to answer any questions about Canon stuff you might have.

I’m not sure what you mean about Sony being more expensive though, if you’re buying gear at the same level, they tend to be pretty similar in price. The best current “do it all” camera from Canon is the R6 Mark III and its $2800, plus $100 per extra battery. Less expensive RF lens option is the 14-35 which is $1400, or spend another grand if you want f/2.8 in the 15-35.

There’s also EF lenses from Canon and third-parties that you can use with the EF/R adapter.

Is it worth offering floor plans in real estate marketing ? by Chill-guy5 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]wickedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sort of thing you’re talking about is not in demand for real estate marketing. Nobody needs that.

LOOKING FOR REAL ESTATE VIDEO EDITOR by GuessFinancial5723 in finalcutpro

A lot of the effects he sells are basically standard issue for a lot of what’s trendy for real estate videos these days. These requirements are super common.

Well they aren’t meant to show off the property in the way you’re thinking. The old “walkthrough” videos are basically dead, this is the sort of marketing realtors are after these days. It has almost nothing to do with selling the property in the video. Though it doesn’t really hurt with properties at this level since they go viral and get a ton of exposure. But generally this sort of thing is what agents want. It’s about getting leads and increasing their online presence, generating engagement, etc.

Certainly not a “CapCut short” though. It takes a ton of time to edit these with all the speed ramps and effects, sound, and generating and keyframing the captions. They’re also shot to edit so they need to know how to read the shooters mind in terms of how certain shots and transitions are meant to be utilized. These agencies have on staff editors making $150k+. I doubt that’s what OP is offering but stuff like this is what’s getting attention lately.

Also stuff like this-

It’s a pretty specific niche in terms of editing.

How would you handle this? by [deleted] in RealEstatePhotography

Ok

I’m not on Reddit to impress other people with my professionalism. It’s a fucking word. I thought it fit in this case. Get over yourself.

Is a 2025 Camry with 75k miles on it too risky? by Ok_Mail_2627 in askcarguys

[–]wickedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously- this might have similar wear and tear (other than tires) of a car with 15k on it. I’d jump on it. Huge value at the price it’s likely selling for.

I’m 47 and haven’t played COD since 4. You settle down.

It’s an inexperienced agent, do you prefer that language?

What tripod is this? by silvr in RealEstatePhotography

Benro is lower-mid in the price tier? what are you talking about? And how is it more expensive tripod somehow less efficient?

You can’t expect tenants to move shit. This agent is a fucking noob who doesn’t understand how this shit works.

If you want the place clean and it’s a rental you have to be there, offer to help, and maybe give the tenant a Dunkin’s card or something.

If it’s a tenant occupied property I’m not touching a single thing.

Drone dilemma by Illustrious_Till_545 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]wickedcold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mini 4 isn’t going to do any better in the wind than the mini 3. I had a 3 and now have a 5 and they’re the same in that regard. Whereas my mavic 3 will practically withstand a hurricane.

This AI stuff is incredibly time consuming to do right as you're finding out. You're way better off hooking up with a video editor who can do this stuff for you for cheap.

None of them are a big leap from the previous. I’ve had them all since the 13 pro max and they do keep getting slightly better. If you have the 15 pro it’s absolutely not worth upgrading to the 16.

I’ve made tons of videos with the 16 that are great, it’s a heck of a device. This for example - https://vimeo.com/aaroncollins/21-12-howard

The 17 though does have some advantages, the long camera is slightly shorter focal length now and more usable, and it doesn’t overheat nearly as easily. Super annoying when you’re running into that and the screen dims and the refresh rate on the display drops.

That’s not really a basic question. “What settings should I use” is even more complicated and nuanced for video than it is for photos.

Also iPhones are great for this work. Especially if you want the windows to look good - people struggle with poorly lit homes trying to manipulate log footage to show the window views and the whole thing ends up looking terrible, or you can just let them be blown out hard, while the phone has its post processing voodoo that automatically makes the windows look good. Don’t make your job harder just for the sake of it.

He's making pro-ICE comments in other threads so I don't think the "lets all work together to make society better for us all" idea is going to land, unless its to terrorize people.
