The Choose Experience stage decides what guests get from the booth. It runs in one of two modes.
Which should I use?
| Simple | Advanced | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Getting a booth working quickly; overlay-only branding | Fully designed, branded outputs |
| You provide | An overlay image per aspect ratio | Templates you design yourself |
| Setup time | Minutes | Longer, with far more control |
| Guest sees | A straightforward booth | Whatever you design |
Note - Only one mode is active at a time, and switching does not delete the other's setup. Only the saved mode runs at your event.
Simple Mode
-
Open your event and click the Flow tab.
-
Open the Choose Experience stage.
-
Switch the mode to Simple.
Output Types
"Select one or more output types." Choose any combination — stills, GIFs, boomerangs, video, AI images, AI video.
Note - If you enable only one output type, guests skip the selection screen entirely and go straight through.
Aspect Ratios
"Select one or more aspect ratios."
Overlays
"Upload one overlay per selected aspect ratio."
Important - Overlays go with aspect ratios, not output types. Pick one ratio and you need one overlay, however many output types you enable. Pick three ratios and you need three.
Tip - Export your overlay at the exact pixel dimensions of the ratio. Overlays are sized to the output, so a mismatched file will look soft.
AI Configuration
If you enabled AI Image or AI Video, choose your prompts under Select AI Prompts, then set AI Image Quality or AI Video Quality.
Important - Quality affects token cost. Pictor shows the token count against each option — check it before a large event.
Output types, aspect ratios, overlays, and AI settings in one panel.
What must be set
Pictor will not let you save until:
-
At least one output type is selected
-
At least one aspect ratio is selected
-
At least one prompt is selected, if you chose an AI output type
Advanced
Advanced lets you design templates in the Template Editor and control how guests pick between them.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Display name | Shown to guests instead of the template's own name |
| Preview mode | Crop to aspect ratio, Full screen, or Display template |
| Export mode | Template, or Template + images |
| Allow search | Lets guests search when you have many templates |
| Show templates as cards / Show template names | How the picker looks |
Groups organise templates. Use Create group, drag templates into it, and Show groups as cards / Show group names to control how they appear.
Tip - Use Display name for anything guest-facing. Internal names like "ACME-final-v3" are useful to you and confusing to a guest.
Tip - Apply preview mode to all templates saves setting it one by one.
Templates, groups, and how guests choose between them.
Note - Each template shows its tokens per session, so you can see what a choice costs before the event.
Pre-registration
Pre-registration follows whichever mode is active. You do not configure it twice.
