Configuring ALIVE Video Settings

The ALIVE Effect has a few settings you can tweak to get the perfect balance of speed and quality for your events.

Available Settings

How long the ALIVE video records after the photo capture.

A shorter duration means a snappier video and faster guest flow. A longer one gives a more cinematic result.

When enabled, the ALIVE Effect recording starts automatically after the last photo is captured — no guest interaction needed.

When disabled, guests need to manually trigger the recording.

Works in combination with auto-start. When both are enabled, the entire ALIVE video process is hands-free.

The pause between the last photo and when the ALIVE video recording begins. Gives guests a moment to hold their pose.

Scenario	Duration	Auto-Start	Delay
High-traffic event	2 seconds	ON	1 second
Premium experience	3 seconds	ON	2 seconds
Attended booth	3 seconds	OFF	2 seconds

Keep auto-start ON for unattended booths — Guests shouldn't have to figure out how to start the video
Shorter is better for busy events — 2 seconds is plenty for a shareable clip
Test the delay — If guests look confused between the photo and video, add an extra second of delay

The ALIVE Effect is available on both Basic and Pro plans. If you don't see these settings, check that your subscription is active.
