Spotlight · hosting pipeline

The infrastructure is not your problem.

Every clip your customers record or upload rides the same pipeline: hosted delivery that adapts to the viewer's connection, an automatic poster frame, and — on Pro and up — a transcript with per-word timestamps that powers captions everywhere the video plays. Platform imports keep their original player.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does video look like on the Free plan?

2 video testimonials with browser recording up to 2 minutes each, hosting with adaptive streaming, the trim and thumbnail editor, and video playback in your widgets — no card required. Pro includes 10 video testimonials per project plus auto-transcription, captions, and video analytics; unlimited video testimonials start on Premium.

Do my customers need to install anything?

No. Recording happens directly in the browser on your form page — desktop or mobile web. Customers see a mirrored preview, record, play it back, and re-record until they're happy. Uploading an existing file (MP4, MOV, WebM) works too.

How long can a video be?

Recording limits scale by plan: 2 minutes on Free, 2 minutes on Pro, 3 minutes on Premium, 5 minutes on Business.

How do transcripts and captions work?

On Pro and up, every video is transcribed automatically with per-word timestamps, and the transcript powers a captions track in your widgets. You can edit any word in the inbox — likely-misheard words are flagged for review — and corrections flow straight to the captions. One click regenerates the original transcript if an edit goes wrong.

What is multi-clip recording?

On Business, respondents answer up to 5 guided prompts as separate takes (up to 60 seconds each) instead of one long monologue. The takes are stitched into a single polished video automatically, with title screens between prompts — and respondents can submit early while stitching finishes server-side.

Where can I show video testimonials?

Everywhere proof works: 13 dedicated video widget styles, video cards inside carousels, masonry walls and lists, 4 video card designs on your Wall of Love, standalone share pages, and branded social cuts rendered from 18 templates in square and vertical formats.

Can I turn a video testimonial into a social post?

Yes — pick one of 9 video-first social templates (18 templates total), and the studio renders a 1:1 or 9:16 MP4 with captions burned in from the transcript, plus optional music from 11 licensed tracks. Video exports start on Pro.
