Will I be involved in making my movie?
Sure, you will be able to make comments about your order during the purchasing process. You can make suggestions on title names and what kind of video it will be, such as a birthday or family vacation etc. You can give further suggestions and comments on your video during the editing process when you're being asked to preview the movie for final approval through your account page. If you'd like to do your own voice over, just let us know, we'll walk you through the process.

Do I have to get involved in making the movie?
Not at all. We understand if you're busy or just not the creative type. Just give a little information to go on like whether the movie should be happy and upbeat or slower and more dramatic, and we'll take it from there.

What types of video do you accept?
We accept MiniDV, Hi-8, VHS-C, VHS and all digital video file formats.

How long will it take to make my movie?
We can complete your order in three to six weeks. Depending on our volume. If you need a rush on your project, we can do that for an extra fee. Please contact us and let us know if that's the case.

How do you determine the cost?
Video editing costs are determined by the amount of raw footage and materials that have to be reviewed. This process is very time consuming. We pride ourselves on our very detailed process in producing a quality finished product.

Will the DVD have chapter menus?

The typical DVD can hold up to 2 hours of video.
