What Is the Custom FX Experience?
The Custom FX Experience is a visual timeline editor built into our platform. It lets you design dynamic video content by controlling exactly how and when different visual and audio elements appear. Think of it as your video creation studio — built specifically for live events, photo booths, 360 experiences, and more.
With Custom FX, you can:
Set video recording length and playback speed
Add and manipulate video clips on a timeline
Import your own videos and assets
Apply transitions, crops, and opacity effects
Overlay custom graphics and animations
Add transparent videos (HEVC .mp4) for AR-style effects
Insert pre-roll and post-roll video content
Layer audio tracks to match your timeline
Key Features
🎬 Timeline-Based Editing
Drag and drop video elements onto a timeline. Set the precise duration, speed, and placement of each clip. This gives you complete control over your final video.
📁 Templates
Choose from a growing library of templates to jumpstart your creation. Templates are fully editable and can be used as-is or modified to match your branding.
🎥 Video Imports & Custom Recordings
Bring in your own video clips or use live recordings from your event. Combine multiple videos with smooth transitions and special effects.
🎨 Graphics & Visual Effects
Add still images or videos as overlays or backgrounds. These assets can be standard images or transparent HEVC videos for next-level visual impact.
🌀 Transparent Video Support (HEVC .mp4)
Support for transparent videos means you can layer visual effects both in front of and behind the recorded subject — creating an augmented reality feel.
🔈 Audio Layering
Add music, sound effects, or voiceovers. You can align audio with your visuals on the timeline for a fully synced final output.
🔚 Pre-Roll & Post-Roll
