Walk into every shoot with a reels planner
that already has the shot list.

Tell Netiva how you film and its AI agent builds a web app for your hooks, scripts, per-listing shot lists, shoot days and cut reviews — previewed live, with code you own.

Starter prompt

Build a reels planner web app for a real estate agent who films their own short vertical videos. Keep a hook library with the hook line, a style (question, myth, price reveal, mistake or tour tease) and on-screen text. Each reel links to one hook and has script beats, a property address, a listing moment such as just listed or sold, a filming time and a status from Idea to Posted. Give every reel an ordered shot list with room, shot type, camera move and target seconds that I can check off on my phone. Save each edited cut as a numbered video version with timestamped notes, marked Needs changes or Ready to post.

Build it in Netiva Paste the prompt into a new workspace and adjust it to your business.
Overview

Who this reels planner is for

Agents who film their own reels tend to keep hooks in a notes app, shot ideas in their head and edits in a text thread with whoever cuts the video. Then the twilight shoot at a new listing wraps without the kitchen reveal, and last month’s best hook is forgotten. A real estate reels planner built with Netiva gives each video a record: the hook, the script beats, an ordered shot list for the property, the filming time and every cut with its notes, so you arrive with a plan and post only the version you signed off.

Key features

What your reels planner can do

  • Hook and script library

    Save every opening line you might use, tagged by style, with the words that appear on screen. Scripts are written as beats — hook, payoff, call to action — so a 30-second reel has a shape before you press record.

    • Hooks filtered by style: question, myth, price reveal or tour tease
    • A count of the reels that have already used each hook
    • The first shot noted next to each hook line
    • New hook variations drafted by the collection assistant for review
  • Shot lists for each listing

    Each reel gets an ordered list of shots for the property — the front door push-in, the kitchen island reveal, the walk out to the yard — with a target length, so you work through the house room by room on your phone.

    • Room, shot type and camera move for every shot
    • Target seconds added up against the reel’s planned length
    • Tap a shot to mark it done before you leave the room
    • The line to say on camera shown beside each shot
  • Shoot days and reminders

    Filming times sit beside the listing moment each reel supports — coming soon, just listed, open house weekend, sold — so you can batch several reels into one visit and get the plan by email before you go.

    • Upcoming shoots by date, grouped by property
    • An evening-before email with the next day’s shot list
    • Twilight and aerial shots flagged on the schedule
    • A weekly email of scripted reels not yet filmed
  • Cut review with timestamped notes

    Each export from your editing app is saved as a new version on the reel. Notes start with a timestamp, so feedback like “0:04 trim the pause” lands in one place, and only a version marked Ready to post goes out.

    • Every cut kept as a numbered video version
    • Review notes tied to a moment in the cut
    • Needs changes or Ready to post on each version
    • Editors sign in with their own accounts to upload cuts

How it works

From prompt to a live reels planner

  1. Describe how you film

    Tell Netiva what you shoot — listing tours, talking-head tips, sold recaps — and who edits. The agent drafts collections for hooks, reels, shots and cuts plus the screens to match. No coding needed.

  2. Fill the hook library

    Paste the hooks saved in your notes into the collection grid, tag each with a style and ask the collection assistant to draft more variations you can keep or delete.

  3. Walk a test shoot in the preview

    Open the shot list in the live preview and step through it as if you were standing in the house. Annotate a button that’s hard to tap or a field you never use, and the agent changes it.

  4. Publish before the next listing

    Publish in one click, sign in on your phone and send the link to your editor. Every change after that is checkpointed, so a layout edit to the review screen is easy to roll back.

Examples

Ways teams use it

  • A solo listing agent filming on a phone

    Each new listing gets three reels — a coming-soon tease, a just-listed tour and a sold recap. The first two are planned together, so a single visit to the house covers the shots for both.

  • A two-agent team with a freelance editor

    The editor signs in, uploads each export as a new version and works from the timestamped notes, so the agents stop chasing feedback through group texts and know which cut is final.

  • A brokerage coaching new agents on video

    The marketing lead fills a shared hook library with styles that suit the local market. Each new agent plans their own reels, films against a shot list and brings cuts to the weekly review.

Good to know

Before you build

  • Filming, editing and posting stay in your tools

    Netiva doesn’t record, edit or post video, and the planner doesn’t read platform stats on its own. You shoot and cut in your usual apps, post from each platform and type in results unless you connect a platform’s API.

  • Disclose paid and gifted features

    If a reel features a lender, stager or local business that paid you or gave you something, the FTC expects that connection to be disclosed in the video itself, not only in the caption. Write the disclosure line into the script beats.

  • Agree with the seller what stays off camera

    A listing reel films someone’s home. Before the shoot, agree with the seller what stays out of frame — family photos, security panels, mail with names on it — and write that list at the top of the script so you see it at the house.

  • Audio rules differ by platform

    On TikTok, business accounts can add sounds only from the Commercial Music Library, which is cleared for business use on TikTok; the general library isn’t. Check each platform’s audio terms for business accounts before a reel goes out.

FAQ

Questions about building a reels planner

Can I plan several reels for one visit to a listing?

Yes. Each reel is its own record, so a coming-soon tease and a just-listed tour can share the same property and filming time. The filming schedule groups them into one visit, and you can ask the agent for a combined shot list sorted by room, so you film the kitchen shots for both reels together instead of walking the house twice.

Can I check off shots on my phone while I film?

Yes. Netiva builds web apps that open in the phone’s browser, so there’s nothing to install. Sign in, open the reel and the shot list shows each shot in order with the room, camera move, target seconds and your line. Tapping a shot marks it done, so before you leave the property you can see whether the reveal or the exterior is still missing.

How do I see which hooks get the most saves?

Ask the agent to add a results form to each posted reel for the views, saves, shares and messages you read from the platform’s insights a week after posting. The hook library can then show averages per hook and per style. The numbers are only what you enter, so compare reels measured at the same point after posting.

Can AI help write hooks and scripts in the planner?

The collection assistant can draft new hook rows or script beats from a short description, and you keep or delete each draft before it’s used. It can also bulk-edit, for example translating your best hooks into Spanish for a second series. The published planner has no AI of its own; a write-a-script button would call an AI provider’s API with your own key.

How long should a real estate reel be?

The planner doesn’t choose a length, but it helps you hit the one you pick: each reel has a planned length, and the shot list adds up target seconds against it. Platform rules matter for reach. YouTube counts vertical or square videos up to three minutes as Shorts, and Instagram says reels longer than three minutes aren’t recommended to new audiences.

Do I own the code behind my reels planner?

Yes. Netiva generates clean production code that you can read, edit and export whenever you want, with no proprietary runtime to stay tied to. Every change the agent makes is checkpointed, so if a new cut review layout doesn’t suit your editor, you can compare it with the earlier version and roll back.
