We’re frequently asked if we can change the music on the cinematic video – the short answer is yes!
The video transitions for your property video are timed to the beat of the original music track, in other words, “baked in”, so changing it is a bit more involved than simply swapping it from a dropdown menu. Please allow 24–48 hours for video revisions.
We are experienced professionals at selecting the best song to pair with our cinematic camera movements, but music is subjective, and some clients or sellers may wish to choose their own. If you’d like to change the music, consider the following tips.
1. Provide keywords to your videographer if you have a particular mood in mind for your video beforehand or better yet, have some music playing on the TV or stereo while we’re shooting to help set the mood. If an Endodontist can do it, why can’t we? Shout out to Dr. Roth for saving teeth up there on the Mainland!

2. As you can see above, it pays to be bold in your music selection. People sometimes request something slower and more relaxing, but after we make that change, they often find the video boring. Be mindful that we use the music to pump up the drama and keep buyers interested. This isn’t background music; its purpose is to keep the viewer watching through to the end of your video.
3. Unfortunately, we can’t use your favorite Jimmy Buffett, Carrie Underwood, or Guns & Roses track. But if it’s too windy to go fishing or diving in the Florida Keys and you feel like diving deeper into royalty-free music, we have a full subscription to epidemicsound.com. We can use any track from there. Whether it’s an 8-bedroom Marathon retreat, a mansion in Ocean Reef, a historic Key West eyebrow home, or a bayfront Islamorada bungalow, we have you covered. They even have sound effects!
Gulp! Rock on, everyone!
