Learn how to add your favourite video memories to your Pixum photo book!
Adding videos to your photo book
Noone needs professional equipment nowadays for shooting good quality videos thanks to smartphones & Co. But what to do with all these video clips from the holiday trip, family picknick or the baptism ceremony?
Being stored on a hard disk, the video memories do not change much in our everyday life. Therefore Pixum offers you a great possibility to add videos to your Pixum Photo Books. Let us show you, how this works.
Add a video to your book in only 4 steps
Adding a video to a printed album? This might seem impossible at first. A small trick allows you to capture your most beautiful videos in a Pixum Photo Book.
Forever.
When placing a video clip (shot with your camera or smartphone) into your Photo Book project you will see a so-called QR code (stands for: "Quick Response"). The QR code can easily be scanned with a mobile device and - voliá - your video will be played in your mobile browser in it's best quality.
Adding videos is as simple as adding photos - per drag and drop.
This is how you add a video to your photo album:
1. Select the videos clip and photos in the Pixum Photo World software or the mobile Pixum Photo World app.
2. Choose the video you would like to add to your photo project and drag it (by holding down the left mouse button) onto the photo book page. Video files appear with a black filmstrip so that you can easily identify these on a photo book page.
3. A QR code will automatically appear. This means, the video clip has successfully been integrated to your photo book project.
4. Normally, only one frame of the video represents the whole file on the book page. You can add more snaps from the video by double clicking it.
Adding a video to a photo book might seem a crazy idea first, but is so easy and definitely gets those happy moments back!

Scan QR code and play it on your mobile device
After you have placed a video clip into the photo book, there appears a snap to represent this very video and a QR code.
By scanning the code you get access to the video file and can view the video on your smartphone or tablet.
How to scan and play the video
1. To be able to play the saved video clip your device requires a QR code scanner.
2. There is often a pre-installed scanner app, but you can alslo download one of the free QR code scanner for Android or iOS.
3. To do so, simply search the Google Play or the Apple App Store for a "QR code scanner" or "QR code reader" and download a free app of your choice.
4. As soon as the app has been installed you can run it and hold your device camera over the QR code printed on the photo book page, for the app to scan it.
5. The app reads the code and loads the unique link to your saved video clip in the mobile browser.
6. Enjoy!

Great quality product. As always, the customer service is excellent. I ordered the wrong book size and the team were very helpful in correcting it.
Very happy with my latest Pixum photo book celebrating my wife's 70th birthday with one picture for every year. Print quality is excellent even from rephotographed old b/w prints. And the service from the Pixum team is always helpful and friendly.
I love my book and really enjoyed putting it together. The quality is really good. In the beginning it took a little while to navigate the app but I soon got the hang of most of what it did but not all. I would have liked it to do a few more things such as the ability to place photos in shapes and clouds etc. I also think the price point is rather steep and probably would make more books if they weren?t so expensive.
Thank you so much for my beautiful book, it arrived so quickly, I was delighted with it. It looks so professional with its beautiful hard back and glossy vibrant photos. I absolutely love it. This is my 12th book and I?m sure they just get better each year!
I have used Pixum for 10 years to create an annual family photo album. Always fast and faultless printing. The Pixum software is easy and reliable to use and offers almost limitless opportunities to create imaginative and stunning albums.
It's beautiful and very good quality!
Quality is super and delivery time great.
Amazing quality product and everything looks as good as it did on the design software. Worth every penny, will be back for my next one soon.
The book was high quality. However instead of waiting for special offers, could we have everyday low pricing please. Also in the photo editor suite the tools panel is far bigger than necessary and cannot be adjusted.
