dslrBooth for Windows v6.38

Synchronize Events Across Booths

Access your events from multiple devices with dslrBooth’s sync feature. When creating an event, the event along with settings and any assets such as templates, backgrounds, and overlays will upload to the cloud when connected to the internet. Events can be synched across multiple machines while using the same fotoShare account, including accounts with multiple serial numbers.

Including event settings, the following will be synched:

Templates
Green screen backgrounds and overlays
GIF overlays
Virtual attendant mp3s/mp4s
Start screen images
Say cheese images
Effects
Video Overlays
Digital Props
Watermarks

When upgrading to version 38 of dslrBooth it can take a few minutes for the syncing to occur. This will only happen when first updating to version 38.

Note: It is very important that you do not change files in AppData\Roaming\dslrBooth folders. Doing so will have severe consequences to the way the application works.

Asset Manager

The asset manager will show you any assets that you have uploaded, allowing you to choose from previous uploaded assets or upload new assets. Assets are the different files you upload from your device, including:

JPG/PNG files for green screen backgrounds and overlays, GIF/Boomerang overlays, start screen and say cheese images, digital props and watermarks
MP3/MP4 files for virtual attendant animations and audio files, video pre and post roll and video soundtrack
LUTs/cube files for filters

Assets will stay in the asset manager unless deleted and are global across events across all devices, allowing the user to access assets from other devices that were previously uploaded.

Sort by Date and Name

Sort your events by either date or name. Use the find your event feature to find a specific event.

Rename and Delete Events

Updated UI to easily delete and rename events.
