Key Concepts
Showcards
A showcard (also called a compcard or media kit) is a professional talent presentation card. Typically two-sided, it features the talent's best photos on the front and back, along with measurements, contact details, and agency branding.
Motion Presentations
A Motion presentation combines stored video and images with Talent fields and agency branding. Its timing, regions, typography, and animation are designed by the layout. You choose the media, adjust crops and video start points, edit the available fields and colors. Every Motion export delivers a silent MP4 and a high-quality PNG poster.
Motion layouts are not general video editors. They do not expose a timeline, clip reordering, keyframes, or audio controls. Motion MP4 outputs are silent.
Image Slots
Each layout has a fixed number of slots — designated areas where images are placed. The main front photo is called the "hero" slot, and back-side photos are arranged in a grid or mosaic. Images from the talent's portfolio are automatically mapped to slots based on their order.
Motion layouts use typed media regions instead. Each region accepts either an eligible stored video or an eligible stored image, as defined by the layout.
Showmo Source Portfolio
Each Talent can have one Portfolio designated as its Showmo source — the curated set of images and stored videos intended for presentations. Portfolio order determines which eligible media maps to authored layout regions first.
To set a Showmo source, open the portfolio edit dialog and toggle "Use as Showmo source". Portfolios marked as the Showmo source display a fuchsia clapperboard badge on their card and in the toolbar.
When no Showmo source is set, the system falls back to the Talent's default Portfolio, then the first Portfolio in the list. Media eligibility is evaluated separately for the selected layout.
