Transform passive watching into active, lead, capture
with Cinema8

Video lead generation forms are interactive elements that appear within a video to collect viewer information such as names, email addresses, company details, or custom inputs relevant to your goals. They can be positioned before the video starts, during key engagement moments, or at the end, depending on your strategy.

Unlike traditional landing pages or external forms, video lead forms keep the viewer engaged within the content. This creates a seamless experience and can lead to higher completion rates. With the right platforms, you can customise the form’s appearance and behaviour, assess the form’s performance, and integrate responses directly into your CRM or email system.

Cinema8 does all of this and more. Explore our plans to get started or contact our team to learn how our platform can improve your lead generation capabilities.

You can collect leads directly from a video by embedding interactive forms that prompt viewers to enter their details while they’re watching. These forms can appear at various points throughout a video to capture attention during peak engagement.

Lead capture forms can include fields for names, emails, job titles, or other relevant information. Some platforms also allow you to tailor the experience; making the form optional, mandatory, or triggered by specific viewer behaviour.

Tools like Cinema8 let you design these forms visually, set when they appear in the video, and send the captured data straight to your CRM or marketing automation platform.

Some modern platforms allow you to connect lead gen forms directly to your CRM or email tools. This means that when a viewer submits their information during the video, it’s automatically sent to your chosen system; making follow-up, segmentation, or automation seamless.

Cinema8 supports integrations with popular marketing platforms and CRMs, so you can capture leads and send them exactly where they need to go, without any manual data entry. Whether you're nurturing prospects or syncing with your email lists, the process stays connected from start to finish.

To evaluate how well your video content is generating leads, it’s important to track a combination of engagement and conversion metrics. Key indicators include form completion rate, viewer retention before the form appears, the number of leads captured, and click-through rate on any post-form CTAs.

You should also monitor where in the video viewers are most likely to convert, which devices or audiences perform best, and how video-generated leads compare in quality to other channels.

Cinema8’s analytics dashboard provides detailed insights into how your lead forms are performing. This helps you refine placement, messaging, and timing for even better results.

Triggering a lead generation form to appear at a specific time in a video depends on the capabilities of the tools you’re using. For tools that allow this capability, you can place forms before the video begins, during a moment of peak engagement, or right at the end, depending on your goal and the viewer experience you want to create.

With Cinema8, you can pinpoint the exact timestamp for your form to appear and choose whether viewers must complete it to continue watching. This level of customisation helps you maximise conversions without disrupting the flow of your content. Select a plan to start generating leads directly from your videos, or get in touch with our team for more detailed insights.

With Cinema8, you can choose whether a lead form must be completed before the video continues, or if viewers are allowed to skip it. This flexibility lets you adapt the experience based on your content and audience goals.

For example, you might gate premium resources with a mandatory form, while keeping lead capture optional for awareness-stage content. You can also customise the messaging and timing of the form to make it feel natural within the video flow.

To get the best results from video lead gen forms, it’s important to consider both timing and viewer intent. Forms placed too early may feel intrusive, while forms placed too late risk being missed completely. A common best practice is to insert them during moments of high engagement, such as after a key point is made or before a valuable takeaway.

You should also consider whether to gate the video or keep the form optional, depending on the content’s value and your lead quality goals. Keep the form short, relevant, and aligned with the viewer’s journey to improve completion rates.

Cinema8 gives you full control over when and how your forms appear. You can test different placements, customise form behaviour, and track performance to continuously optimise your lead capture strategy.
