What Is Mode Editor?
The Mode Editor allows you to choose the types of capture modes available for an event and customize how those modes will work.
Note: Mode Editor is best used after selecting an Event Interface, as you will need to set the hotspots for guests to tap to select a capture mode.
How To
Add a Capture Mode to an Event
The Mode Editor allows you to add a tappable hotspot for up to five different capture modes: Photo, Boomerang, Video, Warp, and GIF.
Tip: Before adding capture modes, you may want to clear all current hotspots. To do this, tap the Add (+) button and select Clear Hotspots.

Queso’s flashes are high powered bulbs used in professional photography that require time to charge back up before being used again.
These bulbs are naturally consumable and will gradually lose maximum brightness and will require more time to charge up over time.
If you notice that the first image in a photo template is better lit than subsequent photos, consider increasing the countdown duration or replacing the flash bulbs.
