## FAQ

### How do I make a promo video for every event?

Design one event promo template with placeholders for the photo, title, date and venue, then connect your events table. Orshot renders a vertical MP4 for each new record and posts it to Instagram and TikTok, so every event gets a promo without opening an editor.

### What should an event promo video include?

The event name, date, start time, venue and a clear ticket or RSVP button, over a photo that shows the vibe. A short line about what to expect and an urgency note like an early-bird deadline help people act.

### Can I use Eventbrite instead of Airtable?

Yes. Run the same template from n8n or Zapier with an Eventbrite new event trigger, so every event you publish on Eventbrite gets its promo video. The template fields stay the same.

### Does it work for concerts and festivals with a lineup?

Yes. The headliner gets the opening scene and the lineup scene holds up to three lines for support acts or genres. For a full festival bill, a lineup template with separate headliner and support act fields works with the same workflow.

### Where is the finished video saved?

The video URL is written back to a field on the event record, so the promo sits next to the event data. You can also send it to Google Drive or Dropbox.

### Can I run this from n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. The same template renders through the Orshot API, so you can trigger it from n8n, Make, Zapier or your ticketing tool instead of an Orshot workflow.
