The ShootProof alternative that delivers wedding films

ShootProof is a photo business platform — galleries, print sales, invoicing, contracts — and its published features and plans list no video hosting. Knotflix is delivery built for wedding filmmakers: private 4K streaming galleries for films and photos, from $29/mo.

ShootProof galleries are photo-first — video is still a roadmap item

This is not a knock; it is what the product has been. ShootProof was built around selling and proofing photographs, and as of August 2026 the video we can find documented is a YouTube or Vimeo clip embedded as a gallery intro message. Their features and plans pages describe photo galleries and list no video hosting, so we find no documented way to upload a wedding film into a client gallery.

To be fair about where they are heading: ShootProof has publicly put video on its 2026 roadmap, and its own pricing page lists "High-quality video storage" and "Slideshows & Reels" as coming in summer 2026; that roadmap describes video hosting with up to 4K uploads. It had not shipped when we last checked their release notes, so treat the sections below as a snapshot — and check their site before you decide.

Worth reading their description closely rather than ours: what they have published is video storage with up to 4K uploads, not yet shipped. That is a genuinely useful thing for a photographer who shoots a little motion. It is a different job from handing a couple a finished 20-minute wedding film as the main event.

Until then, every hybrid studio we know ends up with a split delivery: photos land in a polished ShootProof gallery, and the film — the thing the couple paid the most for — goes out as an unlisted YouTube link, a Vimeo page, or a download folder. The half of the wedding you spent the most hours on gets the weakest presentation.

What the film side actually gets

Knotflix treats the film as the headline, not an accent. Couples open a private link — no account to create — and stream in 4K on a page with your name on it. Your original master files stay downloadable, so delivery never means giving up the archive.

The workflow is built for the files filmmakers actually move: the Mac app does resumable multi-gigabyte uploads that survive a restart, Dropbox import pulls finished films straight from your existing folders, and embed links let you drop the same film into your own website.

Photos ride along in the same gallery — hearts for favorites, album picks, full-res downloads and ZIPs — so a hybrid wedding is one link, not two platforms. And every gallery you publish updates your public portfolio page at knotflix.com/your-studio automatically.

Where ShootProof genuinely wins

If your business runs on prints and products, ShootProof is the better storefront — its built-in print store is real money for portrait and family work, and Knotflix has nothing like it.

Same for the office side: ShootProof bundles invoicing and contracts into its paid plans, with online booking available as a paid add-on. Knotflix does none of that, on purpose.

And it is cheaper to start. ShootProof has a free tier — capped at 100 photos and 5 GB, but genuinely free — and a 14-day trial that does not ask for a card. Knotflix starts at $29/mo after a 30-day trial that does take a card up front, even though you are charged $0 that day. If cost of entry is the deciding factor, that is a fair point against us.

Plenty of studios run both — ShootProof or a CRM for the paperwork and the print store, Knotflix for the delivery moment. We built Knotflix at Red Bank Studio because the delivery moment was the part nothing handled well.

Common questions

Can I upload wedding films to ShootProof?

Not that we can find as of August 2026 — their features and plans pages describe photo galleries and list no video hosting; the video we find documented is a YouTube or Vimeo clip embedded as a gallery intro. ShootProof has announced high-quality video storage on its 2026 roadmap, so this may change; their pricing page is the place to check. Until it ships, film-first delivery is the gap Knotflix fills.

Does Knotflix replace ShootProof’s invoicing and contracts?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Knotflix is delivery — streaming, galleries, downloads, hosting revenue. Keep ShootProof or your CRM for contracts, invoices, and booking; many studios run both side by side without overlap.

Can couples still download everything, like on ShootProof?

Yes. Photos come down full-res, individually or as ZIPs, and the film downloads from the gallery alongside the 4K stream. The studio’s original master files stay downloadable too.

What happens after the included 90 days of hosting?

Couples can extend their gallery whenever they want more time, and half of every extension payment goes to the studio via Stripe payouts. Hosting stops being a cost you eat and becomes a small long-tail revenue line.
