Add or Edit Interactivity

Interactive videos empower you to engage viewers, capture leads, and personalize content—all within a seamless viewing experience. With Cinema8, adding or editing interactivity is intuitive and powerful, whether you’re starting fresh or refining an existing project.

What is Interactivity in Cinema8?

Interactivity refers to elements such as:

Clickable CTAs and buttons
Hotspots for navigation or tooltips
Forms to collect user data
Quizzes to engage and assess
Animations that add visual impact

These components help guide viewers, collect insights, and drive conversions directly from the video.

Why Add Interactivity?

Boost Engagement – Keep viewers involved from start to finish.
Capture Leads – Turn views into actionable contacts using embedded forms.
Drive ROI – Guide users toward decisions with targeted CTAs.
Deliver Personalization – Show different paths or content based on user behavior.

How to Add Interactive Elements

Step 1: Open Creative Studio

Go to your Cinema8 dashboard and select a video.
Click Add Interactivity to open it in Creative Studio.

Open the Widget Library from the side panel.
Browse available elements like:
- Call-to-Actions
- Hotspots
- Forms
- Quizzes
- Text or media elements

Drag your selected widget onto the video timeline.
Position it visually within the canvas layout.

Use the Property Panel to configure:

Timing – Set when the element appears and disappears.
Behavior – Define actions like linking, toggling visibility, or showing messages.
Style – Adjust font, color, animations, and button styling.

Step 5: Preview and Save

Use Preview Mode to test interactivity.
Save your changes once everything functions as expected.

Tips for Effective Interactivity

🧠 Pro Tip: Start with one or two interactions per scene and place CTAs where attention is naturally highest—like after a product reveal or just before the close.

Keep it focused – Too many elements can overwhelm users
Use logic – Place interactivity at key points of the viewer journey
Always test – Preview before publishing to catch layout or timing issues
Match the message – Use design that fits your video’s tone and audience
