How long will my video be?
We can make the video however long you want, though we recommend keeping most between 7-10 minutes. That may not sound like a long time, but the goal is to make your video keepsake fun to watch by highlighting the very best moments. Longer videos tend to drag out and lose momentum.

Can you transfer and edit my reel to reel film?
No, we are not currently set up to handle that type of format. We will accept VHS, VHS-C, Hi 8, Digital 8 and miniDV formats.

How long will it take?
All projects are on a "first in, first out basis", so busy times will cause delays, however. Our editing services generally take a week or less to complete. Extra special care is taken with special occassion and once in a life time events (such as weddings), so these type of videos may take longer.

What will the DVD case & menu look like?
Everything is custom made to your home movie. We'll add your photos and/or stills from your movie, as well as a custom title. We have lots of creative and fun ideas to make the outside look just as great as the movie.

Will the DVD play in my DVD player?
Most likely yes, we use DVD-R disks which are compatible with almost all newer DVD players, even if the manual says otherwise. If you are concerned about the compatibility of your player, we will happily mail you a sample disk so that you can be certain. Also, DVD players have become very inexpensive and a new one could be purchased for under $100.

Can still photos be part of my home movie as well?
Yes, adding your photos is no problem. It's a great way to accent your home movies. We can mix them in, group them together or do an entire DVD with your photos to create a photo slide show right on your television.

Will I have to help with the editing process?
It is entirely up to you. Your are more than welcome to sit through a viewing of your video together so you can choose which scenes are most important to you. You can also just leave it up to us to decide.

Will there be any loss in quality during the process?
If your video is in a digital format, such as miniDV or Digital 8, there will be no loss in quality. With analog formats there is always a slight loss when you duplicate it in any way, even to digital, however the loss is minimal and should not be noticeable. Once the video has been digitized there is no loss in quality during the editing process.

Will my original photos and videos be returned to me?
Absolutely! Everything you send us will be returned in its original condition. Once we receive your photos and videos we will take an inventory of what you've sent and secure it in its own labeled container. When the work is completed, we will ship it all back to you along with your final masterpiece. It is, however, a good idea to make copies when possible, just in case of shipping issues. When it's an analog tape, you should always send us the original to ensure the best quality picture.

Are there any ways you can improve on the quality of the picture
To keep our costs to you at a minimum, we do not provide video enhancement services as a standard with our services. If your footage is of poor quality and you would like us to try and improve it, contact us for a quote.
