We are all aware that home buyers and sellers are consuming video more than any other medium. Beyond video home tours, home buyers are watching community videos, videos to get more information, testimonials and more.

Video has now become one of the most powerful forms of communication and can make the difference between profitability and success for any business. Yet many real estate brokers and agents have not yet tapped into adding video to their marketing strategies.

So what's the problem?

Video has always been associated with being:  

1. Expensive
2. Complicated
3. Time Consuming
4. Out of scope

Based on this, we thought we would take a look at a few of the ever increasing online services that offer an easy and inexpensive way to create videos. Think of adding a community video or perhaps a simple agent cameo video to your website, social networks, or Realbiz Media microsite.

Here are 3 options that you can try for free to get started.

Stupeflix

Stupeflix is extremely simple to use. All you need to do is sign up for free and your ready to create unlimited 60 second videos. Simply choose your template, add slides, your images or video clips, and text. Stupeflix lets you add your own audio or choose from their music library. Then, you can instantly share your video on your social networks or YouTube.

Upgrade: If you want a HD version, you will need to pay $5 or go pro for around $39/month for unbranded videos. For the price and ease of use, it is most certainly one to try.

ProShow Web

Proshow Web also offers a free subscription that lets you create a professional video with up to 15 images or video clips. Like Stupeflix, ProShow Web offers an easy to use interface enabling you to choose a theme, add your photos, videos and title slides, and music--either your own or from their library. ProShow Web includes a ton of transitions and special effects that you can use to customize the slides in your video. Unlike Stupeflix, you cannot instantly share your video as the output is only MP4 format.

Upgrade: For $30/year, ProShow Web offers unlimited videos with DVD quality, mobile, and full HD format outputs.

Viddyad

Viddyad is another free service that lets you create a professional commercial online in minutes. Extremely easy to use, Viddyad offers a wide array of industry-specific video clips to choose from, including real estate. Choose your video clips, images, and text, then customize with transitions and animations. Next, add music from the Viddyad library or your own voiceover and a final call to action. Then you are ready to share!

Upgrade: If you would like an HD version without the watermark that you can download, Viddyad offers packages from $99.00 and up depending on the length and number of videos and images used.
