Modern websites need to be engaging, visually appealing, and fast. A great way to do this? Use a mixed video and image carousel. It’s perfect for showing off your products, an event, travel destinations, or user-generated content (UGC) in an interactive way. You get the best of both worlds—images for quick snapshots and videos to show off more detail.
But here’s the catch: You want this carousel to look slick without slowing down your site. That’s exactly what Clipara brings to the table. Clipara lets you create seamless, fast-loading carousels featuring both images and videos without the hassle of coding. Whether you're displaying UGC, product teasers, or event highlights, Clipara helps you build dynamic, media-rich carousels with ease.
Now, let’s walk through how to do it step-by-step!
Head over to Clipara and sign up for an account. If you already have one, simply log in and get started.
Next, you’ll need to upload the videos and images you want in your carousel. Clipara makes it easy to pull content from platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, or you can upload directly from your device. You can store hundreds of files in your Clipara library and access them any time you create new carousels.
Go to the Clipara dashboard and hit Create a campaign on the Clipara homepage.
Select the On-site campaign type.
Choose the In-Line player style. Full-screen will open a full-screen player on mobile and desktop rather than playing in-line on the page.
Choose the images and videos you want in your carousel from your library or upload additional content as needed. You can mix and match both types of media, creating a unique flow that draws attention.
You can also easily pull content from Instagram and TikTok to use in your carousel. Awesome right? Clipara integrates smoothly with these platforms, making it super simple to add Reels or TikToks to your website.

Once you’ve selected the videos and images for your carousel, Clipara’s user-friendly interface makes it easy to rearrange the order. Just drag and drop the media into place to get everything exactly how you want it. Once you’re happy with the order, click Create Campaign in the top left:
Next, select to create a new widget. Widgets are layouts that can be reused across multiple campaigns once you have designed them:
Select Carousel. This is the only layout style for In-line campaigns, but for campaigns that open to full screen, you can use grids, carousels, stories, pop-ups and create your own custom embeds.
