I’ve been wondering about the format of reviews. Currently we have written and video, but what if we had an option for both?
One of the things I want to do since I am a photographer and have shot and edited a LOT of video over my time as one professionally is to have a all inclusive post for video watchers, skimmers, and reading enjoyers all in one. A short video at the top of the page with an overview and pros and cons, then the detailed review with pictures and gifs below.
Is this something that would be feasible here?
Is there any reviewers/team members here that have had the same thought?
We actually considered doing it that way before, but some users told us it felt a bit confusing.
So we ended up splitting reviews into two clear categories:
1. Video Review
You upload a video, and the video appears right at the top as the main display.
2. Photo + Text Review
You can upload text + photos + videos, and the top section will show your cover image.
If you want to create video + text together, I personally recommend using the Photo + Text Review option. It gives you full freedom to add videos, photos, and written content all in one place.
