Select -> Sync -> PlayUpdated 22 days ago

Overview

Select – Sync – Play is the fastest and easiest way for you to run a photo booth experience in FMX.

It’s designed to remove the learning curve, lower the entry barrier, and let you start using your booth immediately, without setup or technical work.

Instead of building workflows, layouts, and animations yourself, FMX gives you ready-to-use, non-branded, fully tested presets that work instantly.

You select an experience, sync it to the booth, and hit play.

What Is a Preset?

A preset is a complete, ready-made experience that already includes:

  • Layouts

  • Animations

  • Experience flow and logic

  • Instructions for the booth

  • Media handling and outputs

Each preset is built around a specific concept, such as:

  • AI Theme Selection

  • Magazine Cover

  • Comic Book

  • Christmas

  • Baby Shower

  • Bar Mitzvah

  • Wedding

  • Halloween

  • Augmented Reality

  • Boomerang Video

  • Trading Cards

  • And many more

All presets are generic, non-branded, and tested by Foto Master so you can use them as-is at real events.
