More than just photos
Collections in creavio support video alongside photos, giving you a single destination to deliver all your creative work. Whether it's a highlight reel, behind-the-scenes footage, ceremony clips, or a full cinematic edit, video lives right next to your images in the same gallery.
Adding video to a collection
- Open an existing collection or create a new one.
- Click Upload and select your video files. Common formats like MP4, MOV, and WebM are supported.
- Videos are processed and optimized for web playback automatically. You don't need to compress or convert before uploading.
- Arrange videos alongside photos in whatever order tells the best story.
Playback settings
- Autoplay — Choose whether videos start playing automatically when a client scrolls to them, or wait for a click.
- Inline playback — Videos play within the gallery layout so clients don't leave the collection to watch.
- Full-screen option — Clients can expand any video to full screen for a cinematic experience.
- Thumbnail selection — Pick the frame that represents each video in the gallery grid.
Client viewing experience
Your clients see videos integrated naturally into the collection. Photos and videos flow together in one cohesive gallery. On mobile, videos play natively with smooth performance. On desktop, the viewing experience is immersive with high-quality playback.
Clients can download videos just like photos, subject to the download permissions you've set for the collection. Full resolution, web resolution, or no downloads. The same rules apply to both media types.
Use cases
- Wedding highlight reels delivered alongside ceremony and reception photos.
- Behind-the-scenes clips from portrait sessions that add personality to the delivery.
- Event recap videos for corporate clients alongside event photography.
- Testimonial videos recorded during sessions that double as marketing content.
Tips
- Keep highlight videos under five minutes for best client engagement.
- Place your hero video near the top of the collection so it's the first thing clients see.
- Use video to differentiate your deliverables. Most photographers still deliver photos only. Adding video sets you apart.
