Built into Filmset
One upload. Every gallery you need.
Upload the wedding once, then deliver it as many ways as it’s asked for: the whole day for the couple, the films for the family, the photos for the venue, the decor for the planner. Every film resumes where they stopped, on any device.
Questions
Before you switch.
Is Filmset a good Pixieset alternative for wedding filmmakers?
Yes. Pixieset counts film by the minute: 30 minutes of HD on its paid plans, then $5 a month for every extra hour. Filmset streams whole films in adaptive 4K beside the photographs, at $1 per GB, once.
Can I deliver photos and films together, like on Pixieset?
Yes. One Filmset gallery holds the films and the full-resolution photographs, in albums, with favourites and downloads.
Is Filmset cheaper than Pixieset?
For anyone delivering film, usually. A wedding with two hours of film needs Pixieset’s Plus plan and two extra film hours, $312 a year. On Filmset a 60 GB wedding is $60, charged once.
Can I move my Pixieset galleries to Filmset?
Yes. Upload the films and photos as you would for a new wedding and send your couple the new link. Your first 10 GB are free.
