Create a video from a template

Create and customize a professional video in a few clicks with a Danim template.

Written by Sophie Delpech

In brief

Danim video templates let you use ready-made designs, created and optimized specifically for real estate.

Once you have chosen your template, the editor lets you add your text and visuals, then adjust your settings (colors, logo, music) before starting the generation. Your video is generated in all the formats offered by the template.

It is the ideal solution for quickly creating professional videos for your listings, your personal branding or your client reviews.

Before you start 🎯

  • The experience is more comfortable on a computer, with a stable connection and an up-to-date browser (preferably Google Chrome).

  • Gather the photos, videos and text you want to highlight: each template shows, slide by slide, the content to fill in.

Creating a video from a template

Step 1: Choose your template

Log in to Danim. On the home page, make sure the Video option is selected, then click the template of your choice.

Need help choosing? See the article ➡️ Finding the right template in the library

Step 2: Discover the editor

The editor opens right away, with the template already loaded. You will find 3 simple steps: 1. Editing, 2. Finalization and 3. Sharing.

Your video will be generated in all the formats offered by the template (for example square, landscape, portrait and reduced portrait). To check how it looks in each format, use the buttons above the preview.

Click the title of your project to change it, for example: "House for sale in Othis".

Step 3: Customize each slide (1. Editing)

A template is made up of several slides: each slide represents a part of your video.

Select a slide: the left panel offers up to three tabs.

  • Content: fill in the fields of the slide (text, images, videos, contact details, price, and so on). To add, replace or crop a photo or a video ➡️ Adding media to a slide

  • Identity: adapt the colors and the logo of the slide. By default, they use your brand identity.

  • Advanced mode: fine-tune the layout, the text size or the animations. The settings available vary from one slide to another.

Replacing media

In the Content tab, click the sample media to replace it with a photo or a video from your device.

You can also click Media library to choose a visual from our royalty-free selection, with a keyword search.

To adjust the framing, click the … icon on the media, then Set the area to keep, and check how it looks in each format.

🪄 Do you have the Elite plan? Bring the images in your slides to life with AI: click the … icon on the image, then Turn into video. Camera movements, furniture appearing, timelapse: all the effects are explained in the article ➡️ Turning a photo into a video with AI

Managing the slides of your video

  • to move from one slide to another, click its thumbnail below the preview, or use the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of the form.

  • add a slide with the + button in the timeline (the + between two slides adds it at that exact spot)

  • duplicate or delete a slide with the … icon on it

Click Save at any time to save your changes as a draft. To continue, click Next or go directly to the 2. Finalization step.

Step 4: Choose the music (2. Finalization)

In the 2. Finalization step, keep the music provided with the template, choose another track from our royalty-free library, import your own file, or turn the music off.

You can then choose which part of the track to use.

All the options are detailed in the article ➡️ Choosing and setting the music of your video

Once you have finished, click Next or go directly to the 3. Sharing step.

Step 5: Generate the project (3. Sharing)

To finish creating your video, you can:

  • click the Save button to keep your project as a draft, or

  • in the 3. Sharing step, click the Generate project button. Your video is generated in all the formats offered by the template.

Once the generation is complete, you can schedule it to be posted on your social media using the Create & schedule posts button.

If you prefer, click the Download button to save the project to your computer or phone: choose the format you want, or Download all to get them all.

You can also click Copy share link: Danim then generates a link that you can send directly to a client (by using "Paste" or Ctrl + V), for example on WhatsApp.
