Is there a limit on how long a clip can be?

For playback, no — a long clip uploads and plays like any other. For face search there is a three-minute ceiling: past that the clip stays in the gallery and stays watchable, but it is not indexed, so it will not come back in anyone's search results. Split a long speech if you want it searchable.

What about WEBM, MKV or AVI?

Not accepted on the event upload path — MP4 and MOV only. Convert before uploading; both are standard exports from every editor and every phone.

Does video eat the same storage as photos?

Yes, it is the same pool, measured in bytes — and video is far heavier per second than stills. Budget accordingly on a long event.

Can I shoot RAW and still deliver here?

Yes. RAW files ride along as download-only originals — they are never decoded on a phone and never rendered in the grid. The JPEG beside them is what guests see and search.

For hosts

Photos & Video, in a single gallery

One event, one link, both media types in the same grid. A guest who only appears on camera still turns up in their own search results.

Create an event All features

A gallery of event photographs where several tiles carry a play badge, marking them as video clips

Events stopped being photographed in one medium a long time ago. The ceremony is stills, the entrance is a clip, the speeches are both. Split across two links, guests reliably find one half and never learn the other existed.

InstantPix keeps them together: same event, same grid, same share link. Clips play in place and open in the same lightbox the stills do. And because face indexing samples video frames as well as photographs, a guest who was only ever filmed still appears in their own results.
