Any image slot in your storybook is a candidate for interactive media.

There are two types of videos styles that can be integrated into a Studeo storybook or presentation, Videos and Cinemagraps

VIDEO

The video feature in a Studeo project is great for sharing longer videos with or without sound with your audience. The video feature is typically used for longer videos that have more than one scene in them. Video can be played automatically and have sound. The end viewer will have controls to start and stop the video.
To add a video:

  • Click the “Select the type of Interactivity” button when hovering over an interactive space.

  • Click on "video" and Checkmark at the top of the box.

  • Click Upload a video.

    • Videos can be brought in from Google Drive, Dropbox, Vimeo, or by using a direct upload from your computer's files. You may set the video to auto-play with its audio muted when playing (but can be turned on by the viewer) or to have it play when clicked, without having the audio muted.

CINEMAGRAPH


Cinemagraphs are emotive short looped videos that are designed to increase emotional connection of a viewer with the situation. Cinemagraphs loop endlessly and don’t require the end user to hit a play button.
While you can upload your own videos to let Studeo convert them in to a Cinemagraph experience, Studeo has a library of licenced videos that can be used directly in the product as well.

To add a Cinemagraph:

  • Click the “Select the type of Interactivity” button when hovering over an image within your storybook.

Please note that there is a 500MB restriction on files uploaded from your computer. There is also no restriction on how long the video is as long as it is under 500MB.

Please note that if you are using a print-capable template, you will need to place a base image into the interactive spot before accessing the interactive features options.
