Free real estate planning tool

Real estate video length calculator

Enter the number of useful listing photos and the time you want each image to remain on screen. The calculator gives you a simple runtime estimate without pretending there is one universal “perfect” video length.

Estimate the runtime

Choose a current AbodeVid reference preset or enter your own planning values.

Estimated runtime00:30
Photo count6 photos

This matches the current 6-photo AbodeVid pace.

What this calculator actually tells you

The calculation is deliberately simple: photo count multiplied by seconds per photo. It is useful for spotting an overlong sequence before production, comparing a tight hero-image edit with broader room coverage, and understanding the pacing trade-off between the compact 6-photo and 15-photo options and the longer Cinematic 30 path.

It does not measure watch time, buyer attention or conversion. Those outcomes depend on the property, creative quality, placement and audience, so the result should be treated as a planning estimate rather than a performance prediction.

Use distinct images instead of padding the runtime

Adding more photographs only helps when each image contributes new information. Two nearly identical kitchen angles may increase runtime without making the property easier to understand.

Before calculating the final length, remove blurred images, duplicates and outdated views. Then arrange the remaining images in a sequence that resembles a deliberate property viewing rather than a folder dump.
