Introduction
Welcome to the Glambot Studio documentation!
What is Glambot Studio?
Glambot Studio is an end-to-end platform for capturing, processing, and delivering event videos to your clients. It is a single product made of two tightly connected applications:
| Application | Where it runs | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud platform | Any web browser — dashboard.glambot-studio.app | Projects, registration forms, video hosting, emails, live galleries, billing |
| Desktop application | macOS | Local capture, import, transcoding, color grading, automatic editing, upload |
The Desktop app and the Cloud platform are inseparable. A project lives in the cloud; the Desktop app links to that same project to process footage locally and push the finished videos back up. This guide is organized around that shared workflow rather than treating the two apps as separate manuals.
The end-to-end workflow
Most users follow the same path from event to delivery:
- Create a project in the Cloud (or in the Desktop app — it syncs both ways).
- Build a registration form so guests can identify themselves.
- Film your event, then let the Desktop app import, transcode, color-grade, and edit your footage automatically.
- Upload finished videos to the cloud, automatically matched to the right guest submission.
- Deliver the videos: by personalized email, through a public video page, or via a live gallery with QR codes that guests can browse and download in real time.

Main features
- Projects — the central hub for an event: form, branding, videos, galleries, settings.
- Dynamic forms — custom field types, validation, and theming so guests register themselves.
- Desktop capture & processing — watchfolders, disk detection, transcoding, color correction, and automatic editing, with offline-first operation.
- Continuous sync — the Desktop app keeps local projects in step with the cloud whenever there's a connection.
- Video delivery — secure hosting, personalized emails, and public sharing pages.
- Live galleries — real-time, branded gallery pages your guests open on their phones, with QR codes and one-tap downloads.
- Account & billing — organizations, team members, a 15-day trial, subscriptions, usage limits, and invoices.
