4.  edit event

your new event will now appear on your dashboard!

you will also see buttons to delete, hide, favorite, save and share event content.

🙃 other members will not see these buttons unless you invite them to join your organization.

5.  scan QR

QR codes make it easy for everyone to join events.

each event has its own unique QR code, like this:


for example, scan this code to open our community test event.

🤐   keep your event codes safe... or not!

6.  invite +  permissions

when somone scans into your event, they can add photos just like you...

but they can't do certain things, like edit your event, delete your photos or access your data.

if you want other people to have those permissions, you need to invite them into your organization.

this is possible on our web dashboard only:


members can save, share and like content.

only admins can delete content and access data.


remember that additional users are billed to your account month to month.

7.  one at a time

start shooting to get a feel for the speed and flow of hypno pro.

once you have a feel for the speed and flow of hypno pro, see our specs for more details on branding, galleries, data and more.

8. your events

open your app to add and edit events — just like your web dashboard.


don't see your events?

tap new to create an event or tap scan to join one using its QR code.

🤯 you can also "scan" a QR code saved to your camera roll.

9.  cameras

every event uses the camera built into your phone.

tap the camera window to open it and start shooting.

try toggling the flash, flipping the camera and importing from your camera roll.

you'll notice that our camera captures 9:16  (portrait) and 16:9 (landscape) only. 

you can import images in any aspect ratio from your camera roll.

need more control?

try connecting a professional canon camera instead.

this also enables more resolution and aspect ratios.

🤑  canon connect is a power feature for studio/brand subscribers only.

10.  shoot + share

tap the capture button to shoot.

each photo is styled instantly, ready to share.

with sharing enabled for your event, a unique QR code will appear with each upload.

anyone can scan the QR code to get their content immediately.
