Your film deservesa cinema.

The Cinema layout turns a video page into a premiere screening: a dark page, a full-width player on a blurred cover backdrop, and the title, description and chapter strip below. For films, trailers, documentaries and special projects.

On the page

Nothing in the way of the frame.

01 / PLAYER

Full-width player

The frame spans the whole page over a blurred version of the film’s cover. The page is always dark — no frames, no sidebars.

02 / COVER

A cover from the exact frame

Step through frame by frame right in the console, or upload your own JPG or PNG up to 10 MB. The cover is the player poster and the card image.

03 / CHAPTERS

Chapters on the timeline

Chapters sit on the player’s timeline and in a strip below it — each with a frame, a title and a time.

04 / TEXT

Description and tags

Synopsis, crew and links in a Markdown description. Up to 50 tags.

05 / QUALITY

Up to 1080p, several languages

An adaptive quality ladder up to 1080p on Pro and Business, with audio tracks and subtitles from the source file.

06 / SHARE

A link to the right moment

Share a link with a timecode or embed the player on your site — responsive or fixed-size.

Chapters

Navigate the film from the timeline.

Add chapters by timecode or with the “at current frame” button right in the console player. Viewers see the titles on the timeline and find the scene they want.

  • A chapter needs only a timecode and a title; the console checks the format, duplicates and anything past the end.
  • Chapters are served as WebVTT — external players pick them up too.
  • Showing chapters in the player is one switch.
Private screening

A premiere for your people only.

Lock the page with a password or a private link and allow embedding only on your own sites. Access is set per video, per project or for the whole account.

  • A private link has 32 random characters. Generate a new one and the old link stops working.
  • Embedding — everywhere, nowhere or on a list of up to 50 domains, including *.example.com.
  • Against casual downloading — HLS encryption (AES-128, SAMPLE-AES) and a watermark in every rendition.
How to set it up

Three steps in the console.

01

Upload the film

Drop the file into a project: the upload resumes after a dropped connection, and the first rendition is ready before the rest.

02

Choose “Cinema”

Content tab → page layout “Cinema”. Colours — your own or the project’s.

03

Publish

Turn on “Published” and share the link or the embed code.
