Media

Browse the media sections in the Volume Shopify theme — video, multicolumn layouts, before-and-after sliders, shoppable images, stories and social grids.

Volume's media sections are the ones that show rather than tell: a video with its own cover, a row of equal columns, a draggable before-and-after, a photograph you can shop from, a tray of stories, a wall of social tiles.

Section overview

Section	Page	What it does
Video	Video	One video — YouTube, Vimeo or Shopify-hosted — with your own cover image
Multicolumn	Multicolumn	A row of equal columns holding images, looping videos or text
Media with text	Media with Text	Image or video on one side, 14 kinds of content block on the other
Image comparison	Image Comparison	A draggable divider between a before and an after image
Image slideshow	Image Slideshow & Stories Slideshow	Up to 8 full-width slides with 13 transition effects
Stories slideshow	Image Slideshow & Stories Slideshow	Instagram-style thumbnails opening shoppable full-screen banners
Image with hotspots	Image with Hotspots	Markers pinned onto a photograph, each linking to a product or a note
Social grid	Social Grid	A curated grid or slider of social-style tiles
Image grid	Image Grid	A gallery built from a page metafield — set up in Advanced features

Two of these sit elsewhere in the editor. Image slideshow is listed under Add section → Banners, not Media, even though it belongs with the media sections conceptually. And Image grid needs a custom.gallery page metafield before it will do anything — its setup lives in Image Grid.

Quick decision guide

Have one video to show? → Video for a full section with a cover image and a play button.

Need to say three or four short things of equal weight? → Multicolumn — feature rows, brand values, "how it works".

One image, and a lot to say about it? → Media with Text, the most flexible section in the group.

Proving a difference? → Image Comparison — before and after behind a divider the visitor drags.

Want to sell from inside a photograph? → Image with Hotspots for a shop-the-look scene, or Stories Slideshow for a tappable story tray with products attached.

Rotating several campaign images? → Image Slideshow — up to 8 slides, found under Banners in the editor.

Showing customer photos or press? → Social Grid, curated by hand rather than pulled from a live feed.

Building a photo gallery? → Image Grid, which stores its images in a page metafield.
