What’s New in FMX for Windows 2.0

FMX for Windows 2.0 is a major update for booth operators. Versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.53 add new printed products, more flexible guest choices, native GoPro support, advanced camera and chroma-key workflows, stronger automation, and a touch-first guest interface.

This overview explains what changed and links to the detailed setup guide for each feature.

Before updating a live booth: Sync a copy of the event, test the complete workflow, and verify the camera, printer, payment provider, AI services, and sharing route with the same equipment that will be used at the event.

New Creative Experiences

Flipbook production

FMX can turn a recorded video, AI-generated video, or Final Video into a physical flipbook. Operators can control the frame grid, frame count, cutting-space padding, frame numbers, page order, and Print Last Page First setting.

See How to Create, Print, and Assemble a Flipbook in FMX.

Lenticular photos

Create a two- or three-view 4×6 lenticular photo and calibrate it for supported 40, 50, 60, 75, or 100 LPI lens stock. Calibration is saved for the exact printer route, paper orientation, and lens combination.

See How to Create and Print Lenticular Photos in FMX for Windows.

Drag & Drop Layout

Guests can drag Raw Photos or AI Raw Photos into layout spaces, change their order, and confirm the completed design using a touch-friendly tray and Next action.

See How to Use Drag & Drop Layout in FMX for Windows.

Expanded Preview and photo filters

Preview can show an individual Raw Photo or a completed Final Photo layout. When photo filters are enabled, Apply Filters On determines whether the selected filter changes the photos inside the layout or the completed layout as a whole.

See Preview: Complete Setup Guide.

Slideshow

Start and stop a live slideshow of completed event photos. It can run on a venue display, behind a transparent Touch to Start screen, or while guests wait for AI processing.

See How to Use the Slideshow Workflow Feature in FMX for Windows.

Multiple AI services

Several AI services can work from the same captured photo and share one AI Processed wait. Separate waits can instead create a sequential chain in which one AI result becomes the next service’s input.

See How to Use Multiple AI Services in One FMX Workflow.

Transparent animations

An Animation step no longer needs a custom file. Leaving the animation media empty creates a built-in transparent animation that can wait for Time, Touch, AI Processed, Payment, or another supported trigger while the underlying screen remains visible.

See Animations in the Workflow Builder.

Camera and Chroma-Key Improvements

FMX 2.0 supports native GoPro photo capture, video recording, media download, and Live View over USB. FMX also reports the camera model, firmware, battery, and SD card state. In the current build, GoPro resolution, frame rate, lens, HDR/Log profile, framing, and HyperSmooth are configured on the GoPro itself.

See How to Connect and Use a GoPro with FMX for Windows.

Canon operators can use additional supported properties, including white balance and white-balance shift. A compatible Canon body’s shutter button can also act as the guest capture action in supported workflow designs.

See Camera Setup and Configuration and How to Use the Canon Camera Shutter in FMX for Windows.

The rebuilt chroma-key system can independently process Live View, Take Photo, and recorded video, with Green, Blue, and Custom key colors, automatic calibration, edge controls, spill removal, and a video recording background.

See Chroma Key Guide for FMX for Windows.

Workflow and Automation Improvements

• Webhooks: Send guest information, survey answers, session data, and media as hosted URLs or Base64, then reuse values from a response later in the workflow. See Webhooks in FMX Workflow Builder.
• End Session: Divide one paid guest journey into several separately saved sessions. See How to Use the End Session Node.
• Selection Screens: Combine actions and workflows with Mixed screens, sell several choices with Payment screens, or let guests select several layout areas before confirming. See Setting Up a Selection Screen.
• Parent and child workflows: Updated navigation returns child experiences to the intended parent screen and continues through the correct route.
• Dynamic QR filenames: Add a produced media filename to a Custom QR URL, including AI Photo output names. See How to Use the QR Code Workflow Step.

Payments and Guest Interaction

Stripe and Shopify payment workflows now show a clear loading state while FMX prepares the checkout QR code. Payment Selection Screens can present several prices and route each approved choice independently.

See Stripe QR Checkout Payments in FMX and Shopify QR Checkout Payments in FMX.

Survey steps now support a Back button when a previous workflow step is available. Open-Ended surveys provide a touch keyboard with uppercase and lowercase input for supported languages.

See How to Build Surveys in FMX Workflow Builder.

For 2×6 strip workflows, Show even numbers only for Strips controls the physical strip-count choices displayed to guests. Local printing and FMPrint keep independent values. See Printing from FMX for Windows.

The Booth Closed screen can use event-specific video and reopen automatically after a configured delay. See How to Configure Booth Closed in FMX for Windows.

Touch-First Guest Interface

Guest buttons, keyboards, selection states, Sign & Draw controls, and Drag & Drop navigation are larger and clearer on unattended touch displays. Button text and icons adapt to the selected theme color, and pressed controls provide visible feedback.

See Theme Tab, Sign & Draw: Overview, and Experience View.

Operator and Support Improvements

• ScreenSteer Remote Support: Start an attended support session from Global Settings > About and approve the named agent before sharing FMX. See How to Use ScreenSteer Remote Support.
• Connected account: The About screen displays the connected Foto Master account email. See About Tab.
• Saved login: Operators can allow Windows Credential Manager to remember their FMX email and password. See Log In to FMX.
• Built-in help: About links directly to the Foto Master Knowledge Base and Feedback Center.
• Cloud Sync guidance: A styled dialog explains missing Cloud media settings and can enable them for the current start attempt. See Cloud Tab.
• Friendly errors: Login, email validation, and API failures use readable customer-facing messages instead of raw technical responses.

Reliability Fixes Included in FMX 2.0

FMX 2.0 fixes the Completed badge being clipped on affected screens and corrects capture failures when a Take Photo step overrides the camera selected in Global Settings. It also incorporates the maintenance work released through the FMX 1.0.351 line.
