Cloutal, Inc.

Built for high-volume event photography and videography

Cloutal combines a hosted platform for delivering and selling your photos and video with native software at the venue: tethered capture that securely saves every frame, a live-show app that records every entry and streams the show, and an iPad viewing booth. Built for high-volume competitions, performances, and event photography and video.

A delivered dance gallery titled Starlight Gala in the Gallery tunnel design: a ballet lift centre-stage, a ballerina in a blue tutu held overhead under stage lights, with the other galleries of dancers angled away on either side like panels in a corridor.

Overview · 1 minute

Who it's for

Made for the days you shoot thousands of frames and record every minute.

Cloutal is purpose-built for high-volume event photography and videography: the shoots where the pace is relentless and every single frame has to reach the right person.

Competitions

Hundreds of entrants, back-to-back rounds. Every competitor's photos and video file themselves, so galleries can go out the same day.

Dance & performance

Long recital and showcase programs. Shoot it, record it, sort by dancer or entry number, and deliver photos and video to every family.

Schools & graduation

Class after class, name after name. High-volume days without the sorting marathon afterward.

Conventions & expos

Portraits, booths, and step-and-repeats. Capture at volume and get galleries out the same day.

How it ties together

From the shutter to the sale, in one workflow.

At the venue, Cloutal Tether captures and protects every photo, Cloutal Live records and streams the show, and Cloutal Viewer puts the photos in front of customers at the booth. Photos and recordings upload into the same Cloutal Media album, which delivers them online. One path from the moment you shoot to the moment a client opens their gallery.

Pick the album once. Cloutal Tether uploads photos and Cloutal Live uploads each recording as it finishes, into the same Cloutal Media album, with no export step. Both can pull the event's lineup from that album's Event Data.

Why Cloutal

Built by photographers and videographers, for the venue and the studio.

Native & offline-first

Native software for Apple platforms: Mac software for capture and recording, an iPad app for the booth, signed & notarized, and fully usable when the venue Wi-Fi isn't.

Your work stays yours

Real-time backup, protected previews, and secure delivery. Originals aren't exposed until you say so.

One company, end to end

From the moment the shutter fires or the show starts recording to the moment a client opens their gallery. Capture, record and deliver without stitching tools together.
