360 Capture Mode

Want to offer something extra? ALIVE's 360 capture mode will let you create spinning, 360-degree photo experiences — the kind that go viral on social media.

What Is 360 Capture?

360 capture creates a video or photo sequence that shows the subject from multiple angles, giving a "spin" effect. It's a premium offering that clients love for corporate events, product launches, and high-end parties.

Setting Up 360 Capture

1. Go to Settings
2. Navigate to 360 Settings
3. Configure your 360-specific capture options
4. Save

Planned Settings

The following settings will be available when 360 capture launches:

• Countdown Timer — Configurable countdown before capture begins, giving the subject time to strike a pose
• Motion Sensitivity — Controls how the app detects and responds to motion during capture
• Video Quality — Resolution and quality controls for the output video
• Size Presets — Pre-configured size options optimized for social media, large displays, etc.
• Timeline Clips with Speed Control — Edit and arrange clips with adjustable speed for dramatic effect
• Reverse Mode — Play the 360 spin in reverse for a unique visual effect
• Soundtrack — Add background music or sound effects to the output
• Image Overlay — Layer custom images (logos, frames, event branding) on top of the video

Hardware Requirements

360 capture requires specific physical hardware:

• A motorized rotating platform — The software controls the capture timing, but you provide the platform
• Even lighting from all angles — Since every angle is captured, lighting needs to be consistent all around
• Sufficient space — The platform and camera setup need room to operate safely

Tips

• Start planning your hardware setup now — When 360 capture launches, you'll want to be ready to go
• Even lighting is critical — Shadows that move as the subject rotates look unprofessional
• Brief your guests — "Stand still, strike a pose, and let the platform do the work"
• Practice the setup — 360 rigs take more time to set up than a standard booth. Arrive early.
