Four steps, with real screenshots. Also: why the tour is silent until you say otherwise, and why that default is worth keeping for one of your two uploads.
Music is chosen on the Review step, the last screen before you generate. The row reads No music until you open the picker, audition tracks from the 25-track Avenue library, select one, and press Add music. Four steps, under a minute, no extra credits. Keep a silent version for the MLS upload and use the scored one for social.
Every tour renders silent unless you choose a track. That is a deliberate default rather than a missing step: listing media going onto an MLS is usually the place a music bed causes problems, and the picker pins No music above everything else so the silent choice never sits behind a tab.
Board rules on audio differ, and yours is the one that counts, so check it rather than taking a guide's word for it. The practical pattern that keeps you clear either way: generate the tour silent, upload that version to the MLS, then add music to the same tour for Instagram, Reels, and your website, where a silent clip reads as a mistake.
The Avenue library is licensed, and that covers your right to use it inside a finished video. It does not stop an automated content-matching system on a social platform from flagging the upload anyway, because those systems match audio fingerprints and raise claims against properly licensed music all the time.
If that happens, resolving it is yours to handle, and the platform decides what happens to the post in the meantime. It is rarely more than a nuisance, but it is a nuisance worth knowing about before it lands on a listing post during the first week.
Two related limits are worth knowing in the same breath. Avenue Music is embedded in the exported video only: there is no audio-only export and no way to pull the track out as a file. And anything you upload to the My audio tab is yours to have cleared, so a track lifted from somewhere else carries its risk with it.
Music is the last decision before you generate, so everything else about the tour is already settled when you get here.
Match the pace you already picked. The pacing control sits right above the music row: Express cuts every three seconds, Cinematic every five. A busy track under Cinematic pacing feels restless, and a slow one under Express feels like the video is late for everything.
Audition against the actual cut, not in the abstract. A track that sounds good on its own can land badly over a specific property. Playing two and picking the one that disappears is usually the right instinct, because the music is not the thing you are selling.
Quieter beats bigger on a small screen. Most of this video will be watched on a phone, often with the sound half-attended. A track with a strong hook competes with the house.
When it fits: You post mainly to Reels or TikTok, where the in-app audio library is what gets a video distribution in the first place.
Trade-off: Platform-native audio often travels further than an embedded bed, and the trending track is part of how those feeds work. You give up a consistent sound across everything you publish, and you have to do it per post.
When it fits: You have a licensed track you use across all your content, or your brokerage supplies one.
Trade-off: Your sound stays consistent and recognisable. You own the rights question entirely, including any claim a platform raises.
When it fits: Luxury listings, where restraint reads as confidence, and anywhere your board's rules make audio a question you would rather not open.
Trade-off: Nothing to clear and nothing to get flagged, and on a strong property it can land better than a bed. On social it will read as under-produced next to everything around it.
No. The credit cost of a tour is set by the number of clips, at nine credits each, and music does not change it. The cost shown on the Review step before you generate is the full cost.
Music is chosen before generation, so changing it means generating the tour again, which costs credits again. That is the practical reason to audition properly at the Review step rather than picking the first track that sounds fine.
No. Avenue Music is delivered embedded in the finished video only. There is no audio-only export, and extracting the track from an exported video is not permitted under the license we hold for it.
It can. Automated content-matching systems raise claims against properly licensed music regularly, and responding to one is the account holder's responsibility. It is usually resolvable, but it is worth knowing before a claim lands on a live listing post.
Check your own board, because the rules differ and they are the authority. The safe pattern is a silent master for the MLS upload and a scored version of the same tour for social, which costs one extra generation and keeps both audiences right.
The music is not the thing you are selling. A track you stop noticing is usually the one that worked.
