Choose five photos that each add information
The strongest five-photo sequence is not necessarily the five most dramatic images. It is the smallest set that helps a viewer understand the listing without repeating the same room or inventing a connection.
- Use wide, sharp, well-lit landscape photos when possible.
- Remove duplicates and images with heavy filters or overlays.
- Include the rooms most important to the listing decision.
- Check mirrors, screens, personal information, and photo permissions.
Build a plausible order
A simple sequence often works best: arrival or hero space, main living area, kitchen or dining area, primary bedroom, and one differentiating feature. Adjust the order to the property rather than following a rigid template.
Do not suggest a doorway or continuous path that the source photos cannot support. Each generated scene is based on one image; the assembled video is a marketing walkthrough, not a measured floor plan.
Review the sequence at thumbnail size
Look at the five images together before generation. A balanced sequence varies the view while keeping color and exposure reasonably consistent. If two neighboring frames look almost identical, replace one with a more informative room.
