Capturing Photos, Videos, and Boomerangs
PixCrowd Capture provides three capture choices on the event home screen: Photo, Video, and Boomerang. All three follow the same basic guest workflow: countdown, capture, review, submit, and share or claim.
Start a capture
- On the home screen, tap the capture button you want.
- The camera opens and displays a countdown before capture begins.
- The countdown duration is set by the event organizer in PixCrowd Hub → Capture → Settings.
- Complete the photo sequence or recording.
You can exit the capture view using the close control.
Photos and the print layout
When the Print layout contains multiple photo slots, Capture takes exactly that many photos. For example, a four-photo layout triggers a sequence of four shots. The screen indicates progress, such as Photo 3 of 4, with a countdown for each shot.
After the sequence, Capture assembles the photos into the configured composition for review.
The Print Designer creates a printable 4 × 6 inch image at 300 dpi, but PixCrowd does not support direct printing. The finished image can be downloaded for printing elsewhere.
Video
Tap Video to record a video after the countdown. The maximum video duration is controlled by the organizer's Maximum video length setting in PixCrowd Hub.
Boomerang
A boomerang is a short moving clip that plays forward and backward in a repeating loop. PixCrowd creates 4-second boomerangs. The capture begins after the same configured countdown.
Review before submitting
After capturing, the review screen offers:
- Cancel: Abandon the current capture.
- Retake: Capture again.
- Submit: Send the finished media to the event.
For a multi-photo composition, the review shows the assembled layout rather than just an individual shot.
After submission
Once submitted, Capture proceeds to the sharing and claiming screen. Guests can scan the QR code to claim their media or, if enabled, receive a link by text. The same post-capture workflow applies to photos, videos, and boomerangs.
