Impress your clients with Custom Videos from FirstHomeTour.com
Posted by James in New Features on May 12th, 2009
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.
Have Your Heard of Microsoft Photosynth?
Posted by James in New Features on April 27th, 2009
Microsoft has released a free technology called Photosynth that takes a series of photos and “automagically” stitches them into one interactive 3D experience that you can embed in your virtual tour with FirstHomeTour.com. Creating a photosynth is as easy as taking the pictures and choosing what photos you want synthd! I have read that people don’t like how long it takes to create a synth. However, I have found when you click the start synth button the reality is you are done after you click the button… pretty simple and quick (and free!).
In order to get a good synthy turnout make sure to overlap your pictures. We used a tripod in the examples below and took about 5 minutes to take all of the pictures. The end result is a cool product that doesn’t take too much extra effort. Creating a synth isn’t for everyone but it does add a lot of fun factor to an otherwise boring experience. Subscribe to our feed on details of how to create a quality synth without taking hundreds of photos!
JUST RELEASED! Facebook and so much more added to your Finish Tour Page!
