What is Video Mode?

Video mode allows for longer form captures, up to 120 seconds in length (or up to 15 seconds for Fiesta Plus subscribers). 

Video captures also support audio recordings to allow guests to record an audio message with their Video capture - such as birthday wishes, wedding greetings, or testimonials - depending on the event. 

For the best experience when capturing audio with Video captures, it is recommended to use a supported microphone for in-person events run on the Fiesta iOS App.

What To Know
Recording Audio

The Fiesta software is able to record audio with video captures utilizing either the Device's built in microphone, or an external microphone connected to the capture device - a bluetooth microphone for iPad events or a microphone connected to the camera for DSLR events. Virtual events will use the default microphone of the device the event is run from. 

Note: using the Device's built-in microphone when the Device is in a booth may cause degraded recording quality due to fan noise and the location of the microphone

Video Duration
