Brevidee is the video program your school district runs with us. You and your colleagues film what is happening at school, on your phone. We handle everything after that — the editing, the music, the finished video your community sees. This app is for staff at districts working with Brevidee. It is where a producer works: - Start a video by telling your assistant producer what is going on at school. Together you find the story, plan what to film, and line up who films what. - Capture clips right in the app, or add ones already on your phone. Uploads keep going in the background, even on a weak signal. - Invite your crew to help film with a link. They do not need an account. - When a draft of your video is ready, review it on your phone and approve it or ask for changes. - Your finished videos live in your Portfolio, ready to share. Brevidee accounts come from your school district. If your district is on the Brevidee program, sign in with the email address your district uses for you — a code is sent to you, there is no password. Students do not hold accounts. Questions: alan@brevidee.com

How Once Works: 1. Create a film for your event and set the rules 2. Share a QR code or link so guests can join in seconds (No download needed for guests) 3. Everyone shoots in the moment with limited shots per person 4. Photos unlock together at the time you choose, ready to relive and save Why Hosts Choose Once: - QR join, no friction: Guests can join with or without the app via App Clip. - Shared camera for the whole group: Centralize every candid and POV in one place. - Limited shots = better photos: Scarcity encourages thoughtful, story-driven captures. - Delayed reveal: Unlock photos at event end or a custom time to keep guests present. - Private by default: You control access, visibility, and downloads. - Host controls: Set shot limits, reveal mode (instant or delayed), and participant caps. - Download everything: Save full galleries to your device or archive them for later. - Beautiful “film” feel: Subtle, tasteful looks that keep skin tones and ambience true. Perfect For: - Weddings and receptions - Bachelor/Bachelorette parties and showers - Birthdays and reunions - Group trips and retreats - Team offsites - School events, clubs, and fundraisers We Care About Your Privacy: Your event gallery is private by default and controlled by the host.
