Dynamic CTAs to Boost Conversions

Dynamic CTAs (Call-to-Actions) in Cinema8 are interactive elements that adapt based on viewer engagement. Unlike static CTAs that appear the same for all viewers, dynamic CTAs can change based on conditions, such as a viewer's answers in a quiz, interaction with previous elements, or video watch time.

This makes them highly effective for:

E-commerce – Displaying different product links based on viewer preferences.
Lead generation – Encouraging sign-ups dynamically based on engagement.
E-learning – Guiding learners to different lessons based on quiz scores.

How to Create Dynamic CTAs in Cinema8

Step 1: Add a CTA Widget

Open Your Video in Cinema8 Creative Studio

Log in and select the video where you want to add a CTA.
Open your video in Cinema8 Creative Studio.

Select a CTA Widget

From the Elements Panel, drag the Widget Element onto your timeline.
In the Widget Library, select a CTA type that suits your video needs, such as:

Button CTA – A clickable button directing users to an external link or next action.
Pop-up CTA – A card or overlay appearing at key moments.
Lower Third CTA – A banner-style CTA that doesn’t disrupt the video.

Step 2: Customize Your CTA

Open the Properties Panel

Select the CTA widget and open the Properties Panel.

Define CTA Settings

Customize:

Text: Use action-driven phrases like “Try now” or “Get started.”
Link or Action: Assign a URL or jump to another video section.
Appearance Timing: Set when the CTA appears and disappears during the video.

Style the CTA

Adjust the CTA’s design, including:

Colors and fonts – Ensure CTA matches your branding.
Button shape and hover effects – Enhance interactivity.
Size and placement – Position based on best conversion practices.

Step 3: Make Your CTA Dynamic Using Conditional Logic

Add a Conditional Widget

Drag the Conditional Widget from the Elements Panel onto the timeline.

Define the Conditions

Set conditions for when each CTA should appear. For example:

If the viewer reaches a certain point in the video, display CTA A.
If the viewer answers a quiz question correctly, show CTA B (e.g., “Get a reward”).

Link Conditions to CTAs

In the Conditional Widget’s Properties Panel, set the rule for when each CTA appears.

Step 4: Test and Optimize Your CTAs

Preview the CTA Flow

Ensure CTAs trigger correctly based on conditions.

A/B Test CTA Designs

Experiment with different CTA placements, designs, and messaging to see what converts best.
