Your virtual tours can now be converted to videos!   The videos will be added to the FirstHomeTour.com video channel on YouTube, the video tab of your virtual tour and will be syndicated out to sites like Google & AOL!  Intersted in finding out what your converted video will look like?  View our FirstHomeTour.com video samples here:

It is important to note that when you send the video conversion request to FirstHomeTour.com any tours who have High Definition images uploaded will automatically have High Definition YouTube videos created (below).  If you’ve uploaded standard images for your virtual tour, a High Quality YouTube video will be created (right). FirstHomeTour.com will automatically use the virtual tour title and description found in your virtual tour for your YouTube videos.  The map location in YouTube will show the Geo-Coding used in your virtual tour as well. If you would like your contact information to be a part of the video description – don’t forget to put that into video description section!

Requesting a video conversion is as easy as logging into your account, selecting Manage Multimedia in the dropdown list next to the virtual tour you would like converted and filling out your customized video settings.
