We are moving away from music in virtualt tours and opting for a well-written narrative.

Bob Crane It depends, but only if it is low in the background.

Great points you make - I have a client who needs total control and needed to pick the music for their video -

Bob, I've been on the buyer's side for the better part of 3 years and have video plans which don't exceed 50 seconds or include an audio track other than my voice touting the home's amenities. Somewhat like Real Estate Dragnet in a sense, just the facts! Nix the music and send your message clearly is my recommendation although I did like the van.

Videos without music are rare. People might mute it but it needs to be there. Video length is Important. Too long and they move on.

Good morning Bob. There is not a simple answer to the question. It depends on what you are promoting, the type of music and the audience you are going after.

Some people don't pay for the music used in their videos. There are sites that will provide complimentary music including some very well known sites.

Great Question and one I've often wondered about. I have music background on some of my videos and usually mute my own because when I'm on my computer and my husband is watching a movie (or listening to a radio program, etc), it is too distracting. Oops! Looks like I answered the question! Thanks Bob!

Bob Crane - if it is listing video - a very light music in background is fine.
For neighborhood videos, appropriate music as per what you are sharing.
And if it is educational videos - no need of music for sure.

It depends on if there is narrative, and also on the music itself. Some is pleasant and some is awful and makes you not want to watch

Yes. I use background music on my virtual tours. Something light, instrumental and mellow. I'm not a fan of videos without it. I don't talk on my videos... the video "speaks for itself."

Agree, some music is distracting and annoying. Takes me a long time to find one that is not too intrusive and sort of "goes" with the house.

Mostly no, for property videos, so those looking in the office don't have to close it so the boss won't find out.

It depends on the music and if it is truly 'background', and it depends on someone's talking voice and if you can hear/understand them. Many variables, though I love the idea of subtitles Bob Crane - that would solve the issue of hearing what is being said, as to me that is what this is all about, along with the pictures of course.

I WILL do the music.
I will do the voice over.
I know the viewer has choices.
Because the viewer has choices, the important stuff is embedded as graphics in the video. You can not turn that off.
Of course if you are strictly talking MLS, then you play by the rules they enforce..

I'd like to give an option for a viewer. If they want to mute, it is ok. At the same time, I'm very careful with a music selection, I agree with you , often it is just too fast or too slow.

Yes, if I'm in Starbucks or somewhere similar, I have to use the mute button.

Unless it's a music video, I prefer no music at all. Usually they have the music too loud, and you can't hear what the person is saying. If I can't hear the person talking then I click away from the video and move on to something else.

I always mute the music since often I am around other people and don't want to disturb them. I am with you on using subtitles...love it!
