Client Gallery updates

Video upload inside Client Gallery

Now you can upload videos straight into your Pixieset collections, allowing clients to view them and download to their own devices. Just like with photos, uploading videos into a collection is simple, fast and intuitive. You can upload videos of any size, length, and ratio, and include multiple videos inside any collection. Each video will display through a custom-built player, ensuring that your clients have a clean, elevated experience from start to finish.

To upload videos into a gallery, open a new or existing collection, click on ”Add Video”, and select your preferred method. You can either embed from YouTube or Vimeo, or upload a video from your computer.

Studio Manager updates

Online Booking and Scheduling for Studio Manager

Say hello to a new, automated online booking system for photographers, to help you stay organized and on top of all your projects. Now clients can instantly self-book a session with you online, from any device, based on your availability. Or, they can submit a request to book, if you prefer to confirm each session manually. You can also collect a full or partial session fee, as part of the booking process.
We’ve also posted a more in-depth video about the new booking features - make sure to check it out!
