How Cinema8 strengthens your online course monetisation
Protect paid lessons with secure access-control settings
Organise course modules into private, structured collections
Track learner engagement to refine paid learning content
Organise your lessons into clear modules and restrict each one to approved learners. Cinema8’s access controls help you protect premium content while allowing students to follow a defined course path after purchasing through your external checkout system.
Create private collections containing multiple online courses or topic-based video series, then offer learners subscription-based access. With password protection, domain restrictions, and viewer permissions, you can manage which subscribers can view each set of lessons securely and reliably.
If you sell specialist lessons or advanced topics, Cinema8's video hosting platform lets you gate individual videos behind pay-per-view access when combined with external payment platforms. Students who complete payment externally can be added to approved viewer groups, ensuring only authorised learners can watch premium modules.
See why course creators can rely on Cinema8 to protect paid lessons and manage secure video access.
