The Best Prompts for Editing Real Estate Videos
When you use AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Eddie to edit your real estate videos, here are the best prompts to use.
A property tour has almost no talking, so these prompts describe the route through the home, the facts to show and the feel of the music. They work for listing tours, agent intros, neighbourhood videos and vertical reels.
Replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details. Each prompt asks for one result, so you can run them in order or pick the one you need.
Rough cut
The tour in walking order
Make a [90]-second property tour from these clips in walking order: [front exterior], [entry], [living room], [kitchen], [main bedroom], [garden], and end on the drone shot. Hold each shot 3 to 4 seconds and use the steadiest part of each clip.
Eddie builds a sequence of trimmed clips in your order, with no transcript needed, and reports the length.
Lead with the selling point
Move the [kitchen] right after the exterior shot, since it is the selling point of this home.
Eddie moves the segment and the rest of the tour follows.
Open with the agent
Open the tour with the best [15] seconds of my intro to camera from [file name], then the walkthrough.
Eddie picks the soundbite from your intro and puts it in front of the tour.
Highlights
A 30-second teaser
Make a [30]-second teaser with only the [three] best rooms and the drone shot, for the listing preview.
Eddie builds a shorter edit from the shots you named.
Captions
The facts on screen
Add titles: "[address]" over the first shot, "[4 bed, 3 bath, 2,400 sq ft]" over the living room, and an end card "[agent name, phone]". Clean lower-third style, fading in.
Eddie writes each title to the title track at the shot you named, with an entrance animation.
B-roll
Eddie uses your own b-roll first. Where you have nothing that fits, it searches stock footage: free Pexels clips, plus your own Shutterstock catalog if you connect it. When neither has the shot, it can generate a short b-roll clip. It quotes the credits first and generates nothing until you agree. You can also tell it to use only your own footage.
Neighbourhood shots
Add [10] seconds of neighbourhood b-roll before the end card: [the park], [the high street]. Use my clips first, then stock footage of [city name] if I have none.
Eddie uses your footage first and searches stock for the gap, showing you the options before importing.
Clean up the picture
Stabilize the [entry] and [bedroom] shots, add a slow push-in on the [garden] shot, and blur the [family photos on the shelf] in the [living room].
Eddie stabilizes the shots, adds the motion and blurs the region for as long as it is on screen.
Music
Music on the beat
Add a warm, upbeat [acoustic] track under the tour, fade it out over the end card, and move the cuts onto the beat.
Eddie attaches or generates the track, measures its beat and moves each cut to the nearest beat.
A voice-over without a recording
Generate a voice-over in a [warm, friendly] voice saying "[Welcome to 14 Alder Lane, a light-filled family home five minutes from the park.]" over the first [6] seconds.
Eddie generates the line with AI and places it on the voice-over track at the time you set.
Export
Listing and social files
Export the 16:9 tour for the listing page and the 9:16 reel for social, both as 1080p MP4s.
Eddie renders both edits in the cloud with titles and music.
For your video editor
Export the tour as a [Premiere Pro] project so my editor can grade it.
Eddie writes a timeline file that points at the original clips.
Questions
- Can Eddie edit a tour with no talking?
- Yes. Without speech, Eddie builds the tour as a sequence of trimmed clips or photos in the order you describe.
- Can I use listing photos instead of video?
- Yes. Ask for a slideshow of the photos in order with a slow push on each, and Eddie sequences the stills.
- Do these prompts work with ChatGPT or Claude?
- Yes, when they are connected to Eddie through its MCP server, which lets them edit your footage.
Social clips
A vertical reel
Make a 9:16 version of the tour for Instagram Reels and keep every title inside the safe area.
Eddie sets a vertical canvas and fits each shot to it.
