Here is a step by step overview of our video editing process:

  1. We handle your original footage only once to bring it into our professional video editing platform.
    • This includes digitizing (via "capturing") if it is in analog format (VHS, Hi8, MiniDV, etc.)
  2. We carefully review your video, minute by minute, making creative notes and marking memorable points.
  3. All inadequate or flawed video is trimmed away, leaving only clean, smooth footage.
  4. Video enhancements are performed if necessary (ie. color correction, image stabilization, etc..)
  5. Next, we add in Hollywood style intros, professionally designed custom titles, transitions and music.
  6. We review the entire edited video again and perform any touch-ups, if necessary.
  7. Your finished home movie is rendered to a high qualit video file suitable for DVD.
  8. Next begins your DVD creation process:
    • We create your custom Main Menu and Chapters Menus (using your photos if provided)
    • We program your chapters menu to link to all key moments of your movie.
    • We add in the music of your choice to the DVD menus (if requested)
  9. Your finished project is then "burned" onto DVD a disc (or discs) suitable for play in your home DVD players.
  10. Once the disk(s) are created, we print your custom title graphic onto them.
  11. The final step is designing (and printing) an eye-catching, custom DVD case that reflects your video's content.
That's it!!

At this point, your finished video work is ready to be shipped. The end result of this process is a priceless keepsake that you and your family will cherish for years to come!
