DUPLEX LISTINGS
A duplex video that shows both sides of the building
A duplex is two homes under one roof, and it draws two kinds of buyer: one who plans to live in one side and lease the other, and an investor who reads the property as income. The photos have to make the two units easy to tell apart, which is hard when the layouts mirror each other. Choose a clear exterior that shows both entrances, then a few frames from each unit with something distinct in each, and ListingVideosAI brings them into one considered sequence so viewers understand the building as a whole.
Both units appear as photographed; if one side is leased, use only photos the tenant and the seller have agreed to.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

Building a duplex video from your photos
- 01
Sort the gallery by unit
Before uploading, split the photos into the left and right unit, or the upper and lower, and keep the best three or four rooms from each plus the shared yard, driveway and front of the building. Mirror-image rooms shot from the same corner add little, so keep the clearer one.
- 02
Open one listing and upload
Create a single listing for the duplex, since one video covers one property, and upload the chosen JPEG, PNG or WebP photos. Each photo can be up to 50 MiB and the listing up to 2 GiB in total.
- 03
Confirm when both sides are covered
Choose one video or a plan credit, check that each unit is represented, and confirm the listing for the video. The finished duplex video is ready 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, and you review it before it goes anywhere.
Duplex photos that make two units clear
The goal is a viewer who can say which side is which after one viewing. These choices help.
An exterior with both doors
The exterior frame you keep should make it obvious that this is a two-unit building: both entries, both mailboxes or both sets of steps in view.
A signature room for each side
If one unit has the larger kitchen and the other has the brighter bedroom, let each side be remembered by that room.
Separate utilities stay in the remarks
Separate meters and laundry hookups are details investors look for. They rarely need a video frame, but a gallery photo and a line in the remarks help.
The shared yard, once
A fenced yard or shared patio belongs to the building story. A single frame is enough to show it.
Stacked duplexes and their stairs
In an up and down duplex, the upper unit's private stair or entrance is worth a frame because viewers wonder about it right away.
Leased rooms with care
If one side is leased, frames full of a tenant's belongings are often best left out. Neatly kept or vacant rooms tell the story without putting a resident's home on display.
What buyers look for in a duplex
Two dwellings, one sale
A duplex is sold as one property even though it holds two separate dwellings, each usually with its own entrance, kitchen and bathrooms.
Occupants and investors both shop
Duplexes attract buyers who plan to occupy one unit and investors focused on the rents, so listings often describe the condition of each side and any current leases.
Mirror layouts repeat
Side by side duplexes are often built as mirror images, so near identical photos from each unit can make a set feel repetitive.
Tenant access rules apply
When a unit is occupied, entry for photography is usually governed by the lease and local landlord rules, so agents often arrange the photo session with the tenant in advance.
One video for the building
One video credit covers one listing, so both units appear in the same finished duplex video, drawn from up to 20 photos.
Duplex photo choices for the video
| Duplex photo | Why it matters | In the video? |
|---|---|---|
| Front exterior with both entries | Shows it is two homes | Yes, a key frame |
| Best room in the first unit | What sets that side apart | Yes |
| Best room in the other unit | What sets the other side apart | Yes |
| Kitchen in each unit | Condition and finishes | One per unit |
| Shared yard or driveway | Outdoor space and parking | One frame |
| Utility meters or laundry hookups | Investor details | Gallery and remarks |
What is a duplex listing video?
A duplex listing video presents a two-unit building as one property: an exterior that shows both entrances, a selection of rooms from each unit and any shared outdoor space. With ListingVideosAI you pick those frames from the photos you already have, and they are brought into one finished video for your review.
It is not two separate unit videos, and it does not show rental income, lease terms or anything the photos cannot.
Duplex video questions
Do I need two videos for the two sides of a duplex?
No. A duplex is one listing, and one video covers one property from up to 20 photos, so both units appear in a single finished video.
How will viewers tell the two duplex units apart?
Choose rooms that differ, such as a kitchen in one unit and a sunny bedroom in the other, and keep an exterior that shows both entries. Mirror-image frames make the units blur together.
One side of the duplex is leased. Can I still use photos of it?
Yes, if you have permission to use the photos. Many agents keep tenant belongings out of frame and plan the photo session with the tenant ahead of time.
Should rents or lease details appear in a duplex video?
The video is made from photographs, so financial details belong in the listing remarks and documents, where buyers can check them.
Is any filming needed for a duplex?
No filming trip is needed. The duplex video is made from still photos of both units and the exterior, and video clips are not accepted.
What does a duplex video cost?
A single duplex listing video is $15 one-time for one listing video, or one credit if you are on a monthly plan.
What will the duplex video not do?
It does not change rooms, hide wear or present one unit as the other. If a listing platform needs a particular format, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
