AI car videos for dealers, made from your photos or footage

Photos show a vehicle. A video walks the buyer around it: the paint in daylight, the seats, the screen, the cargo area. On Marketplace, Instagram and TikTok, where buyers scroll on their phones, a video gives them a reason to stop and a clearer idea of what they're coming to see.

Few dealerships have time to film and edit a video for every vehicle. DriveGood AI makes the videos for you: AI car videos built from the photos you already take or from footage your team films with a phone. No camera crew, no editing software, nothing new to learn.

Two ways to get a video

• From your photos. The photos you take for each listing are enough for DriveGood AI to make a video of the vehicle. Nothing extra to shoot.
• From your own footage. When a salesperson films a walkaround video, DriveGood AI turns that footage into videos for Marketplace, Instagram and TikTok.

Either way, your team keeps selling while the videos get made.

Where your videos go

• Facebook Marketplace. A video with the listing buyers message you from.
• Instagram. For buyers who follow local dealers and browse vehicles on Instagram.
• TikTok. For buyers who find their next vehicle while scrolling. Drive Good also runs TikTok ads for car dealers.
• Buyer conversations. When a buyer asks for a video, DriveGood AI sends it.

The videos work alongside the listings DriveGood AI posts and manages every day. See AI vehicle listings.

Buyers ask for videos. DriveGood AI sends them.

"Do you have a video?" "Can I see the inside?" Buyers send these messages in the evening and on weekends, when nobody is on the lot to film. DriveGood AI answers in Messenger, on Marketplace and on your Facebook page, right away, day or night, and sends the photos and videos the buyer asks for. A buyer who lives an hour away can see the vehicle before deciding to make the drive.

Every conversation is saved as a lead in your DMS. See the AI chatbot for car dealers.

What footage helps

When your team films its own footage, a few habits make a big difference.

• Film in soft daylight. A cloudy day or a shaded spot shows the paint as it really is. Harsh noon sun and lot lights at night hide details.
• Hold the phone upright. Marketplace, Instagram and TikTok are watched on phones, so vertical footage fills the screen.
• Walk slowly, in the same order every time. Front corner, one side, the rear, the other side, then the interior.
• Show what buyers ask about. The odometer with the engine running, the tires, the screen and its features, the rear seats and the cargo area.
• Film the flaws. A scratch shown on video avoids a disappointed buyer on the lot.
• Clean vehicle, simple background. Use the same spot for every vehicle.
• RVs and powersports. Open the slide-outs and show the beds and kitchen. Start the side-by-side or snowmobile and show the hours.

Video works with the rest of the listing

A video does its best work next to a clear description and accurate details. DriveGood AI writes those too: see AI vehicle descriptions.

Dealers never log in to DriveGood AI, so there is no new tool for your team to learn. It comes in the Drive Good package and works in the background. Your team sees the results: videos with your vehicles, buyers who got the video they asked for, and leads in your DMS.
