The Preview step lets guests see their photo or video before they move on.

The Preview step lets guests see their photo or video before they move on. They can decide whether to keep the result as-is, or (if you allow it) retake and try again.<hr>What Is the Preview Step? From the workflow point of view, Preview:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shows the result of a capture, such as: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A&#xA0;photo (raw capture or final processed photo/layout) </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A&#xA0;video or GIF </li></ul></li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allows you choose what to show (for example: final photo, video, or GIF &#x2013; only relevant options appear based on your workflow) </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can optionally offer a Retake button that sends guests back to an earlier step you choose </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If Retake is off, shows the media for a short time and then continues automatically to the next step </li></ul>From the guest&#x2019;s point of view:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They see their photo, video, or GIF on screen </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If&#xA0;Retake is enabled, they choose: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep / Continue &#x2013; move forward in the journey (print, share, etc.) </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Retake &#x2013; go back and capture again </li></ul></li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If Retake is disabled, the media plays for a few seconds (or a few loops for video / GIF), and then the experience continues automatically </li></ul><hr>When Should You Use Preview? Use a Preview step whenever you want guests to confirm the result before you:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Print their photo </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Share it by email, QR code, or social media </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Show a processed result (for example, an AI cartoon or layout) and let them decide if it&#x2019;s good enough </li></ul>Typical examples:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take Photo &#x2192; Preview &#x2192; Print Copies </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take Photo &#x2192; AI Effect &#x2192; Preview &#x2192; Share</li></ul><hr>How Preview Fits in the Workflow In the Workflow Builder:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add a step and select Preview </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose what to show &#x2013; for example: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Final photo (most common) </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raw photo, video, or GIF </li></ul></li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Decide how guests move on: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Retake: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turn Retake on </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose which step to go back to when guests tap Retake (for example: Take Photo) </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The media stays on screen until the guest chooses Keep or Retake (no automatic timeout) </li></ul></li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without Retake: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turn Retake off </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For photos: set how many seconds to show the image </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For videos / GIFs: set how many times they loop </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that time, the workflow continues automatically to the next step </li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><hr>Why Preview Is Useful For event operators:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quality control &#x2013; guests approve the result before you print or share </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flexible flows &#x2013; you can choose between fast automatic previews and full &#x201C;keep or retake&#x201D; loops </li></ul>For clients and guests:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More control &#x2013; they decide if the photo or video is good enough before it leaves the booth </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Better experience &#x2013; fewer awkward photos, more results, they are proud to share </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Professional feel &#x2013; a clear review step makes the whole journey look polished and guest-friendly </li></ul>By placing the Preview step in the right spot&#x2014;usually just before printing or sharing&#x2014;you keep your experience professional, fun, and reassuring, while making sure only the best photos and videos leave your booth.

The Record Video step lets you capture short video clips as part of your FMX experience.

The Record Video step lets you capture short video clips as part of your FMX experience. Instead of a single photo, guests can move, talk, dance, or perform an action, and the whole moment is saved as a video.<hr>What Is the Record Video Step? From the workflow point of view, Record Video:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is a capture step that always works in two parts: one step to start recording and one step to stop it </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Starts recording when the workflow reaches a Record Video (Start) step </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keeps recording while the workflow goes through the steps between Start and Stop </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stops recording and saves the clip when it reaches a Record Video (Stop) step </li></ul>You place any countdowns, prompts, or animations between Start and Stop. Everything that happens in front of the camera during that time is captured in one video file.<hr>When Should You Use Record Video? Use a Record Video sequence when you want to capture motion and (optionally) sound, not just still photos.Typical reasons:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let guests record short video messages or greetings </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Run dance, action, or &#x201C;challenge&#x201D; style activations </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Collect customer testimonials or interview-style clips </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Create dynamic, social-media-friendly content instead of (or in addition to) photos </li></ul>Record Video is especially useful at events where movement, personality, and voice are part of the experience.<hr>How Record Video Fits in the Workflow Record Video steps are regular steps in your FMX workflows. You add them to the canvas like any other step.In the Workflow Builder:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add a step and select Record Video </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose the Mode for each step: <ul style="font-size: initial; font-family: initial;"><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start &#x2013; begins recording when this step runs </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stop &#x2013; ends recording and saves the video </li></ul></li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place Record Video (Start) and Record Video (Stop) around the content you want to happen while recording </li></ul>A basic pattern looks like:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Countdown or instructions &#x2192; Record Video (Start) &#x2192; Guest action while recording &#x2192; Record Video (Stop) &#x2192; Preview &#x2192; Share / QR </li></ul>Key points:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You must always use both a Start and a Stop step </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The length of the video is mainly determined by what you place between Start and Stop </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There may also be a maximum duration limit in the configuration, which acts as a safety cap so that clips don&#x2019;t become too long </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You usually add a Preview step after Record Video (Stop), so guests can watch the clip, keep it, or retake </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you turn audio recording off in the Start step, the same workflow creates silent video clips (for example, when you plan to add music later in editing) </li></ul><hr>Why Record Video Is Useful For event operators:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flexible content &#x2013; Works for messages, dances, interviews, and more </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Configurable quality and audio &#x2013; Balance file size, visual quality, and sound per event needs </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simple structure &#x2013; Just place a Start and Stop around the moment you want to capture </li></ul>For clients and guests:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More expressive &#x2013; Guests can move, talk, and show personality </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Share ready &#x2013; Short, vertical-style clips are ideal for sharing </li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Professional feel &#x2013; The controlled timing and preview/retake flow make the experience polished and comfortable </li></ul>By adding Record Video in the right place in your workflow&#x2014;and always pairing each Start with a Stop&#x2014;you can offer engaging video experiences that feel natural to guests and create rich, reusable content for your clients.
