Before you start

• Q-Booth is in Easy Mode (the button at the bottom left reads Switch to Expert mode).
• A camera is connected and shows a live view (see Camera settings).
• Prepare a cover picture for the template (portrait, 3:4 fits the template card well) and, if you want one, a frame: a PNG with a transparent middle, in the same shape as the video.

Add a Video template

1. On the Easy Mode home screen, create a New Event, or Edit one you already have.
2. Go to step 2, Templates. The page Choose your templates shows the template cards.
3. Click the Video card ("A short clip, like a boomerang"). The Create Video Template window opens.

Name and cover

1. Type a Template name, for example Party Boomerang.
2. Click the cover box next to the name and choose your cover picture.

Recording length

Under How long is the recording?, use − and + to set the number of seconds. Five to ten seconds is plenty: longer clips mean a longer wait for the result. For Motion Path, the line underneath (Guests watch about … s) tells you how long the finished video will be.

Simple or Motion Path

Under What kind of video?, choose:

The Motion Path presets

The bar shows each move with its speed (for example 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 0.5x); each block is sized by how long it stays on screen.

Size, frame and sound

1. Size: choose the shape of the video. 9:16 Portrait fits phones best, and that is where most guests watch.
2. Frame (optional): click Choose File... and pick a PNG with a transparent middle. The preview shows how it sits on the video; the × removes it.
3. Extras › Record sound: for a Simple video you can record sound too. A booth is a loud room and most clips are watched with the sound down, so most people leave it off.

Save the template

1. Click Save Template. The template appears under Your templates on the right, marked Video.
2. Use the pencil to edit it again later, the bin to remove it, and the arrows to change the order. Add more templates the same way if you like.
3. Click Next to continue with Look and Start, and Save the event.

What guests see

1. Start the event. The guest taps the video template on the start screen.
2. A countdown runs, then the recording starts and stops on its own.
3. The guest can Retake or keep the clip and continue.
4. A few seconds later the video is ready, with a QR code to take it home on their phone.

For the full event flow (start screen, printing, sharing) see Run an event.

When to move on to Motion Studio

The Easy Mode Video card makes simple one-clip templates. Switch to Expert mode and continue in Motion Studio when you want:

• background music, transitions or several clips in one video (an intro card, the boomerang, an outro);
• your own Motion Path moves or saved presets, or animated effects;
• an AI clip inside the video;
• a fixed frame rate or resolution.

Click Switch to Expert mode at the bottom left, open the event's templates, and edit the video template there: it opens in Motion Studio.

Tips

• Always add a cover.
• Keep recordings short (5–10 seconds).
• Choose 9:16 for phones, and use a frame drawn in the same shape.
• Do a full test run as a guest before the event, with the real camera and lighting.
