PREPARING YOUR MATERIALS

Preparing Your Material

  1. Number the tapes if there is a specific order you’d like your tapes to be in on your DVD(s). We can put each tape on a separate DVD or combine as tapes fit together naturally. We will put up to 2 hours of video on a DVD.
  2. Select a title for your DVD(s). “Richard’s Family Memories”, “Smith Home Videos: 1984-1995” are a couple of examples. Short tape titles (5-7 words) can be included on the back cover for no additional charge.
  3. Select a picture for the cover and disc if you’d like a still photo on the label. Alternatively, select a frame shot from your videos or ask us to find a nice frame shot for you.
  4. Decide on options to edit and/or enhance your videos.
  5. Think about how many copies you’ll need. We recommend purchasing an archive copy on Gold DVD that can be stored for safe keeping.
  6. Call us, visit our stores in Boulder or Lone Tree, or click here to order by mail/online.

ENHANCE

Professional Imaging and Audio Options

Exposure Correction- We can lighten or darken footage, revealing details you’ve never seen. View the difference here.

Color correction- If needed, your original video color can be optimized. Read why our image correction is superior to what other companies offer.

Custom Cover Artwork- Have a special cover in mind? We’ll design it.

Most professional imaging and audio work is billed at $90.00/hour of editing time.

EDIT

Don’t like that parade in the middle of your summer vacation footage? We can edit it out.

Playable disc video orders come with footage playing unedited, beginning to end. Above and beyond this, any editing is possible to create the perfect final presentation of your video footage. Editing is billed at $90.00/hour.

Common editing requests include:

  • Cut and/or rearrange select scenes.
  • Remove bad quality footage – we’ll carefully remove blank, poor-quality and/or monotonous footage.
  • Create a Highlight DVD with “best of” footage.

Preview your footage to determine edits or take advantage of our experienced editors to decide on edits for you:

  • Preview Onsite – Preview your footage onsite using our client workstation. Our editing software makes it quick and easy to review your footage. First hour $29.95, Additional hours $14.95/hour
  • Full Editing Service – Using our best judgement from years of experience, we’ll edit your footage to your specifications. $90.00/hour editing time

Do you want to edit your films yourself? Purchase full-quality digital files of your footage for “do-it-yourself” editing on your computer. Consider our playable disc plus a digital files package for a great value

 
ORGANIZE

Don’t know what is on your video tapes or how to put them in order on your disc? Let us help with one of these options:

  • Preview Onsite – Preview your footage onsite using our client workstation. Our editing software makes it quick and easy to review your footage. First hour $29.95, Additional hours $14.95/hour 

    Note: An onsite preview happens after we digitize your videos, but before we create playable discs, and is in addition to the costs of digitizing the footage. There is no charge to reorder entire tapes into the correct sequence for the final cut, nor to title the tapes correctly on a purchased menu, but reordering within tapes and other custom editing is billed at $90/hour editing time.

  • Full Organizing Service – Using our best judgement from years of experience, we’ll organize your footage for you (chronologically or by subject/event). $90.00/hour editing time

Testimonials

Thank you – the film transfers look terrific! It cost a little more than I had imagined, but it was well worth it. You did a great job and be sure that I will recommend your work anytime. I already did my first DVD with some of the clips and it just looks great!

Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my family’s movies. They were a big hit, especially the first DVD – The Early Years. Mom and Dad both teared up as they told their children and grandchildren about our family’s history.
