Already have the photos? Prepare them and create your regular listing videos in Diane
Diane improves the photos already taken, imagines a layout, or selects a version, then produces a reviewable listing video without working with a videographer. Reserve a videographer for properties that need footage shot on site, a real person on camera, or creative direction.

Based on what you need to show
Choose Diane when
Choose Diane when the property photos exist and you want a repeatable workflow: prepared visuals, retained versions, reviewable script and scenes, optional presenter modes, and two linked formats from one project.
Choose a videographer when
You need to film real movement through the property, the surrounding neighbourhood, a real person on camera, or on-site creative direction.
Combine them
Diane for regular inventory, a videographer for signature listings. Each method stays tied to the sources it actually accepts.
Imperfect photos no longer force a detour
Imperfect photos no longer require another tool before Diane. Prepare the selected visuals and use them in the same property's video, without leaving the listing workflow.
Compare the workflows
| Criterion | Diane | Real estate videographer |
|---|---|---|
| Repeatability | repeatable photo-based workflow | a new shoot and scheduling for each property |
| Starting point | existing property information and photos | travel and the videographer's shoot |
| Preparing visuals before video | improvement, local removal of a movable item, layout visualization, or another described change; original and versions retained | photo preparation or retouching depends on the quote; the shoot mainly creates new footage on site |
| Control | reviewable script, scenes, photos, text, and options | creative direction and revisions defined in the quote |
| Narration | selected voice or authorised voice | voice-over or on-camera presentation according to the quote |
| Realtor presence | personal avatar on camera, Diane, or no presenter | the realtor can be filmed on site |
| Formats | linked 9:16 and 16:9 outputs from one project | deliverables defined in the quote |
| Pricing model | plan or credits shown on Pricing | custom quote based on shoot and deliverables |
| What a videographer covers | ||
| Movement through the property | AI-generated camera moves and zooms on your photos | movement filmed on site |
| Drone view | AI-generated drone views from your photos | a real drone flight, subject to operator, location, and authorisation |

This table compares workflows. It does not claim that the outputs are equivalent.
If your photos have already been taken and the task repeats from one listing to the next, Diane covers the whole workflow. If the value comes from footage shot on site, a real person on camera, or creative direction, it comes from a videographer.

When Diane fits
Import or enter the property details, select the photos, and review the script and sequences. Diane prepares the narration and real estate edit, while you keep control before rendering.
Choose a personal authorised avatar, Diane as the presenter, or no avatar.
Export a Full HD MP4 with portrait and landscape outputs linked to the same project.
When a videographer is part of the value
A videographer guides the eye through the space, films light and movement, directs a real person on camera, and produces new footage. That footage is not among the photos already taken: the videographer creates it.
For a signature property film, a real drone flight, an interview, or a brand campaign, request a production quote.
Reserve the shoot for the listings that justify it
An agency can work with a videographer on its most strategic listings and use Diane for regular inventory. Each method remains tied to the sources it actually accepts.
See the same property in Diane
This example uses the authorised Naples demonstration property. It shows the source photos, reviewed script, selected scenes, and final Diane output. It does not fabricate a competing video.
The video combines property photos, narration, and key listing information. No videographer footage was added.
Compare your own cost
A videographer's budget depends on location, shooting time, drone work, editing, formats, and revisions. Use actual quotes in the calculator rather than a universal market amount.
At a regular volume, Diane removes the videographer and coordination line items. Replace the example with your own quotes to measure the real gap on your inventory.
Compare using your own numbers
Enter your assumptions. No value is presented as a market average: the starting example is fictional and every field is editable.
The form is pre-filled with a fictional on-site production example. Replace every value with your own amounts.

What each method does not do
What Diane does not do
- Diane does not film the property: drone views and camera moves are AI-generated from your photos.
- The output depends on the quality and variety of the photos already taken.
- The script and property information require human review before publication.
- An avatar takes on the person's likeness without being an exact copy.
What working with a videographer requires
- Travel, a slot in the schedule, and access to the property.
- A new setup for every listing: one property's footage does not serve the next.
- A number of revisions and delivered formats fixed by the signed quote.
- A lead time that depends on the supplier's availability and the edit.
- A new visit to the property even when it has already been photographed.
