GIF Mode


When creating an event, you have the option to enable or disable GIF mode. 

For GIFs, each photo is taken individually with a predetermined delay between each shot.

1) Camera Choice

Choose which camera to use.

Options:

Front Camera

Back Camera

2) Countdown Timer

The number of seconds the camera will count down before the shot is taken.

Options:

1 to 5 seconds

3) Aspect Ratio

Select the aspect ratio for your still images.

Options:

Square (1:1 Ratio)

Rectangle (4:3 Ratio)

6) Shot Delay

Select the number of seconds you prefer between shots.

7) Playback Speed

This determines the playback speed of the final MP4 and GIF asset.

Options:

Slow: Will play back approximately 3 shots in one second.

Medium: Will play back approximately 6 shots in one second.

Fast: Will play back approximately 12 shots in one second.

Note: All MP4 files are looped to gain at least three seconds of playback duration (necessary for Facebook and Instagram sharing). If the playback falls to say 2.9 seconds, we will automatically add the total shots to the loop again to take the total time to 5.8 seconds (2.9 + 2.9 seconds).
