New! Chapter your videos

With every video order, we upload your video to WellcomeMat.com.

That's not new.

What is new is that you can login to your WellcomeMat account (that we setup for you) and you can quickly and easily setup your own chapters for your video.

Check out the above sample - it took us about 10 minutes to set the chapters up in this one and that was knowing NOTHING about the process ahead of time!

Content - here is what John and Vicky got:
  • 54 High-Quality, wide and bright photos (we never count photos...it varies).
  • 5 Partial panoramas - no dizzy feeling here! It's a better way to spin. We focus on what counts - the main rooms and usually do 3-6 panoramas.
  • Full-Motion video complete with professional voice over, editing, and syndication
  • Professional virtual tour interface that has all three forms of media (photos, video, panoramas).
  • A way for agents to login and edit property information, add captions to photos, and add associated documents.
