There is no need to rebuild your creatives in a separate video editor: you design the slider in your favourite slider plugin, and Captyre captures it exactly as it animates and returns a finished video you can download \u2014 on demand, or automatically on a recurring schedule.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Supported slider platforms<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Slider Revolution 7 (SR7 engine)<\/li>\n<li>Smart Slider 3 (Free and Pro)<\/li>\n<li>LayerSlider<\/li>\n<li>Depicter (Free and Pro)<\/li>\n<li>Elementor (saved templates)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>What you can do<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Convert any supported slider into a frame-accurate video with a single click<\/li>\n<li>Keep the exact animation timing and synchronized audio of the original design in the render<\/li>\n<li>Schedule recurring conversions \u2014 re-render a slider to video automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, and pause, resume, or delete schedules anytime<\/li>\n<li>Follow your render jobs and download the finished videos from the Jobs screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Secure by design<\/h4>\n\n<p>Captyre never uploads your slides \u2014 it renders by capture, not upload. The plugin's admin actions (submitting a render, connecting your Captyre.com account, browsing render jobs) are restricted to logged-in WordPress administrators, capability-checked and nonce-verified. To produce a video, the plugin exposes a signed, time-limited (72-hour) playback URL on your own WordPress site that plays the slider exactly as a visitor would see it; Captyre's cloud renderer then loads that URL over HTTPS and screen-records the animation. Your design assets never leave your server \u2014 only the finished video URL is returned.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Requirements<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A free or paid account at Captyre.com<\/li>\n<li>At least one supported slider platform installed: Slider Revolution 7.0.0 or later, Smart Slider 3, LayerSlider, Depicter 4.0.0 or later, or Elementor 3.0.0 or later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin relies on a third-party service to provide its core functionality (video rendering of slides), and can optionally publish finished videos through a second one (Buffer) if you choose to connect it. By installing and using this plugin, you agree to the terms and privacy policies of the services listed below that you use.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin does not contact any external service on install or activation. On first use it shows an admin notice asking for your explicit permission to connect; no data is sent and no remote request is made until you accept (or until you save your Captyre API credentials, which is itself an explicit opt-in). Consent is off by default.<\/p>\n\n<p>Uninstalling the plugin removes everything it stores on your WordPress site \u2014 saved credentials, access tokens, sharing settings, its scheduled tasks, and its database tables. Any account or data held for you at captyre.com is created through a separate registration on captyre.com and is governed by the captyre.com terms and privacy policy; uninstalling this plugin does not delete that account or its data.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Captyre rendering service (api.captyre.com)<\/h4>\n\n<p>What it is and what it is used for: Captyre is a cloud rendering service operated by the plugin author. The plugin cannot render videos locally inside WordPress \u2014 slide rendering requires a headless browser, GPU-accelerated video encoding, and screen recording infrastructure that lives on Captyre's servers. The plugin submits a job to api.captyre.com, the service renders the slide to a video file, and the resulting video URL is returned to the WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n<p>What data is sent and when:\n* When you click \"Generate video\" on a slide, the plugin sends the slide identifier, slide platform (Slider Revolution, Smart Slider 3, LayerSlider, Depicter, Elementor), playback URL on your own WordPress site, an API key, and the requesting WordPress user identifier.\n* When the rendering job completes, Captyre posts the resulting video URL and job metadata back to your WordPress site via the configured callback URL.\n* When viewing the Jobs list, the plugin polls api.captyre.com for job status updates.\n* When connecting the plugin to your Captyre account, login credentials are exchanged for a JWT token which is stored as a transient.<\/p>\n\n<p>Service provider: Captyre (https:\/\/www.captyre.com)\nTerms of use: https:\/\/www.captyre.com\/terms\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/www.captyre.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n<h4>Buffer (api.buffer.com) \u2014 optional<\/h4>\n\n<p>What it is and what it is used for: Buffer is a social media publishing service. It is used only if you add a Buffer sharing target under Sharing Targets; the plugin then asks Buffer to publish each finished video to the social channels you selected (Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Facebook and others you manage in Buffer). Nothing is sent to Buffer unless you have connected a Buffer target.<\/p>\n\n<p>What data is sent and when:\n* When you connect a Buffer target, click \"Load channels\", or click \"Test\" on a saved Buffer target, the plugin sends your Buffer API key to api.buffer.com to list your Buffer organizations and channels. \"Test\" only reads; it never posts.\n* When a video finishes rendering and you selected a Buffer target for it, the plugin sends your Buffer API key and, for each selected channel, the public URL of the finished video together with its title, caption, tags and the channel-specific post settings you chose. Buffer downloads the video from that URL and publishes or queues the post.<\/p>\n\n<p>Service provider: Buffer (https:\/\/buffer.com)\nTerms of use: https:\/\/buffer.com\/legal#terms\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/buffer.com\/legal#privacy-policy<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/captyre-slider-to-video-converter<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Configure your Captyre API credentials in the plugin settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"which%20slider%20plugins%20are%20supported%3F\"><h3>Which slider plugins are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Slider Revolution 7 (SR7 engine), Smart Slider 3 (Free and Pro), LayerSlider, Depicter, and Elementor.

It runs a read-only check with the stored credentials \u2014 for Buffer, that every selected channel is still reachable and connected; for a webhook, a small <code>captyre.test<\/code> ping \u2014 and shows the result in the Token Status column. Nothing is posted.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: the \"Load channels\" and connection-check buttons on the Sharing Targets page did nothing, because the page's scripts were never loaded.<\/li>\n<li>New: Buffer sharing target \u2014 connect one Buffer API key and auto-publish finished videos to every social channel you manage there (Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon). One post per channel, queued or shared immediately.<\/li>\n<li>New: post metadata for sharing \u2014 each target carries default title \/ caption \/ tags templates (with {slider_name}, {site_name}, {duration}\u2026 placeholders), and the Submit and Job screens let you override them per video.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: the webhook payload now also carries a <code>media<\/code> block (dimensions, duration, frame rate, source media, storage key) and a <code>post<\/code> block (resolved title \/ caption \/ tags). Existing fields are unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Depicter support \u2014 convert Depicter sliders and carousels to video. Popups and notification bars are excluded, since they are not recordable as a slideshow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: share a media preview as a long-lived link you can send to a client or colleague, and revoke it at any time. Preview links from the Play buttons still expire after 72 hours; a share link keeps working until you withdraw it. Find them under Media Sharing, or use the Share button on the Submit Media screen.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: the Elementor compatibility check now recognises sections that use a 100vh minimum height, so full-height templates no longer raise a framing warning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.24<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Elementor support \u2014 capture saved Elementor templates as video. Captyre scrolls the template section by section, holding on each so its entrance animations play, with per-section timing you set on the review screen and a compatibility pre-check before you submit.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: various admin refinements \u2014 live job-status updates on the job screen, an admin footer, and assorted UI polish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.23<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: a switchable dark\/light admin theme for the Captyre screens, with a toggle in the top navigation bar.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: when the site isn't connected yet (missing or invalid credentials, or consent still pending), the status banner now shows a direct \"Sign up or sign in for an access token\" button so you can get your Client Id and Secret in one click.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: various refinements to the Submit, Schedule, and slider list screens across Slider Revolution, Smart Slider 3, and LayerSlider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.22<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: send finished videos to your own webhook endpoint, with support for multiple delivery targets.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: clearer \"Add New Target\" flow on the Sharing Targets screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.21<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: an admin top navigation bar for quick access to Dashboard, Jobs, Submit, Settings, and more without using the sidebar menu.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: the job status screen has been redesigned with a clear status summary, a step-by-step progress tracker, and an easier-to-read two-column information layout.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: the \"Get new token\" button on the API Token settings page now enables reliably once a Client Id and Client Secret are entered (including via paste or autofill).<\/li>\n<li>Improved: additional refinements to account handling, the slider list screens, scheduling, and preview\/player links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.20<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Player URLs are now signed and time-limited (valid for 72 hours) so the public render URL can't be replayed indefinitely.<\/li>\n<li>Documentation: clarified that rendering works by capture \u2014 your slides are never uploaded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.19<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Public release on the WordPress.org plugin directory.<\/li>\n<li>Supports Slider Revolution 7, Smart Slider 3, and LayerSlider.<\/li>\n<li>Convert on demand or on a recurring daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Turn your Slider Revolution, Smart Slider 3, LayerSlider, Depicter, and Elementor creatives into pixel-perfect videos with audio using Captyre.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/312684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312684"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/captyre"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=312684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=312684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=312684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=312684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haz.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=312684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
