A Pixieset alternative for wedding videographers.
Pixieset is built for photographers and counts video in hours. A wedding videographer's season does not fit in 5 hrs. FRGMT stores video by size, plays it adaptively up to 4K on every plan, and keeps the original to download.

The problem
Pixieset meters video by the hour. Weddings are measured in hours.
A highlight, a full ceremony and the speeches run past an hour for a single wedding. On Pixieset that is a whole plan's allowance below Pro, and every extra hour adds $5 to the monthly bill.
Below the Pro plan video plays in HD only, so the 4K you delivered is watched at a fraction of its detail.
FRGMT counts video as storage. A season of weddings fits in 1 TB, every video streams adaptively up to 4K on every plan, and the original downloads untouched.
Each wedding gets a Cinema page for client video delivery with every cut on a menu, the couple reviews on the frame in React, and the highlight plays on your site.
The couple reviews before it ships. Notes pinned to the timecode and the frame, with no account, and each new cut as a version of the last.
The whole job
Pixieset is a photo gallery. FRGMT is built for the video side too.
Review, a page for every cut, the photos, the portfolio and the archive, all from one folder, with video counted by size.
- React The review roundThe couple leaves notes on the exact frame of the edit, with no account.
- Cinema The deliveryHighlight, ceremony and speeches on one page, up to 4K, the originals to download.
- Gallery The photosYours or the photographer’s, in a gallery from the same folder.
- Embed The portfolioThe highlight on your own site, in your player, from the same file.
- Library The archiveMasters kept, upload links for second shooters, shared folders for an editor or a client.

Questions
Pixieset for wedding video, answered.
Can you use Pixieset for video?
Yes, Pixieset galleries can hold video, but each plan includes a set amount of it, from 30 min on Basic to 5 hrs on Ultimate, with extra hours at $5 a month each and HD playback below its Pro plan, which suits a few clips better than a full season of weddings. FRGMT counts video as storage.
How much does extra video cost on Pixieset?
Pixieset charges $5 a month for each hour of video beyond a plan's allowance, so fifteen weddings kept live at about an hour and a half each run 17.5 hours past the 5 hrs of its Ultimate plan, each billed every month on top of its $50 monthly price. FRGMT Pro holds the same weddings in 1 TB of storage.
Is Pixieset good for videographers?
Pixieset is strongest for photographers who add an occasional video, because its video is metered in hours and plays in HD below its Pro plan, while a videographer delivering highlights, ceremonies and speeches for a season of weddings needs video stored by size, at full quality, with the couple reviewing the cut first. FRGMT is built for that work.
Store your season by size, not by the hour.
