AI Video
Concept buildA concept build for a pipeline that turns a listing’s own data and licensed photos into short vertical and widescreen videos on one brand template. A model writes scene captions only from the listing fields, every number on screen is checked against the record, and nothing is published until a reviewer at the portal approves it.
The brief
A typical property portal in the UAE wants video on every listing, yet few of its listings have one. Agents have no time to edit footage, freelance edits look different every time, and a wrong price or floor area in a video is harder to correct than a typo on a web page. Bilingual audiences expect captions in Arabic and English, and every ad has to carry the details local advertising rules require. The portal already holds the structured data and the photos; what it lacks is a way to turn them into consistent, checked videos at the pace new listings arrive.

Architecture
Architecture of the Data-driven Listing Videos for a Property Portal concept: Listing feed → Storyboard builder (fields); Licensed photos → Storyboard builder (photos); Storyboard builder → Caption model (scene facts); Caption model → Remotion render (checked captions); Brand template → Remotion render (template); Remotion render → Portal reviewer (two formats); Portal reviewer → R2 video storage (approved); R2 video storage → Listing page (publish).

Connections:
Sample run
Listing record receivedRoutine
Sample listing: 2 bedrooms, 1,250 sq ft, 9 licensed photos, permit details present.
Storyboard builtRoutine
Six scenes in the agent’s photo order, from the exterior to the closing card.
Captions drafted and checkedNeeds care
English and Arabic captions; one area figure corrected to match the record.
Rendered in two formatsRoutine
A 30-second 9:16 video for social and a 16:9 video for the listing page.
Reviewer approvesA person takes over
The portal reviewer checks both videos against the listing data and approves.
Published to the listingRoutine
Attached to the listing page and offered to the listing agent for social use.
Build plan
We design one motion template with the portal’s brand team: scene order, type, colour, logo placement and caption style, in 9:16 for social and 16:9 for the listing page. Arabic captions get their own right-to-left layout and typeface rather than a mirrored English one. The template reserves a fixed slot for the advertising permit details local rules require, and a listing without them cannot render.
A storyboard builder reads the listing feed: photos in the order the agent set, price, area, bedrooms, location and amenities. Only photos the portal has the rights to use enter the pipeline, and they are cropped but never generated or altered, so a video cannot show a room that is not there. Missing or contradictory fields stop the storyboard with a reason instead of being filled in.
A language model writes short scene captions in English and Arabic from the listing fields alone, and a check compares every number in a caption with its source field before rendering. Phrases the portal bans, such as promised rental returns or unprovable superlatives, are blocked by a word list. An optional synthetic voice-over is labelled as synthetic on screen.
Videos render with Remotion on a render worker in the portal’s cloud account, queued so a busy morning of new listings does not hold anything else up. Outputs go to Cloudflare R2 storage with the listing ID in the file name. Remotion is source-available and larger companies buy a company licence, so that cost is in the plan from the start.
A reviewer at the portal sees each video beside the listing data it came from and approves it, edits a caption or rejects it with a reason. Approved videos attach to the listing page and are offered to the listing agent for social use. When a price or status changes, the old video is withdrawn and a new one is queued for review.
Typical targets
Typical target
A 30-second video per listing, rendered in minutes from listing data
Basis: Render time per template is benchmarked on the portal’s own render worker during the pilot
Typical target
Every number in a video matches the listing record
Basis: Design property: captions are checked field by field against the source data before rendering
Typical target
One brand template across every listing video
Basis: Design property: a single locked template driven by data; changes happen in the template, not per video
Typical target
No video published without a reviewer’s approval
Basis: Design property: publishing starts only from the review screen; a price or status change re-queues review
Your project
Footage, voices, music and fonts checked for licence and use before they enter a template.
Your type, colours, intro and outro built once as reusable templates, so every video stays on brand.
Scripts are signed off before render and the final cut before publishing; nothing goes out automatically.
Aspect ratios, caption files and file sizes matched to the channels you actually use.
Where this fits
FAQ
No. The listing video studio is a concept build: it describes the pipeline we would set up for a typical UAE property portal, and the apartment in the demo does not exist. A real portal would bring its own brand template, listing feed and review team, and the render-time target would be benchmarked on its own infrastructure.
Not by design. The pipeline uses only the listing’s own licensed photos, crops them but never generates or retouches rooms, and writes captions from the listing fields alone. Every number on screen is checked against the record before rendering, and a person approves each video before it goes live.
Arabic is designed as its own layout, not a mirror of the English one: right-to-left text, an Arabic typeface chosen with the brand team, and numerals in the style the portal prefers. Captions are written from the listing fields in each language separately, and a bilingual reviewer at the portal signs off the caption style on the first batch.
It is withdrawn. A change to the price, status or another key field in the listing feed marks the old video as out of date, removes it from the listing page and queues a new render for review. The portal chooses which fields trigger a re-render, so fixing a typo in the description does not create review work.
Most likely, yes. Remotion’s licence is free for individuals and for companies with up to three employees, and larger companies buy a company licence (Remotion’s published licence terms, checked October 2026). A portal running this pipeline will usually need one, so it goes into the running-cost estimate next to render compute and storage, and the licence is held in the portal’s name.
Worked examples
Concept builds are worked examples, not client work.
Concept buildAI Video
A concept build for a pipeline that turns a teacher’s lesson outline into a captioned explainer video, with the teacher’s review at the centre of every step. A model drafts the script, the teacher edits and approves it, and slides, captions and the render follow automatically before the video is uploaded to the LMS.
